Watch: Flaming Lips & Sean Lennon Perform “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds”
By Nick Canton Last night, as part of Letterman’s “Beatles Week” (for the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ first American appearance) The Flaming Lips teamed up with Sean Lennon to play Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. Wayne and Sean each take a verse, which are very loyal to the original, but the chorus gets […]
Chromeo & Toro Y Moi Fall In Love With Mannequins in “Come Alive”
By Nick Canton Toro y Moi is in a stage of his career where he can’t seem to make a bad decision, so you can pardon him for what you’re about to see. Check out this collab with Chromeo, the sound hearkening back to the sound of Toro’s Freaking Out EP, which I would describe […]
Aimee Mann and Ted Leo Team Up As The Both, Release Milwaukee
By Nick Canton Gotta love this century we live in where you can toss musicians’ names into a hat, pull out two, and you’ve got an album. All the better when you look at what comes out and you’ve got two of the most distinct and consistent voices in their respective genres over the past […]
Brendan Canning’s Solo Work Is Not Something To Miss (Great Scott 1/20)
By Nick Canton I saw Brendan Canning at the Great Scott last Monday and there was a lot to take in. My only problem with Eksi Ekso is that, while all the pieces were in place, nothing really grabbed my attention. Their sound is great—John Roderick-sounding-vocals, creative synth sounds, horns, they absolutely had my number. […]
Mother Falcon Brings A Lot Of People/Talent to Great Scott (1/18)
By Nick Canton And The Kids ended their short tour with Mother Falcon last Saturday night at Great Scott. Right out of the gate, I wasn’t sure about these guys—anticipation does that, glittery stickers on faces and an incredibly involved soundcheck don’t help. The three girls are staggered, one behind the other, with guitar/lead vocals […]

R. Kelly Is Everywhere But Does That Make Him Relevant?
Robert Sylvester Kelly is once more ubiquitous. He’s again found his way all over mainstream media, but isn’t there a difference between creating anecdotes within a stretch of time and being relevant?
Lucius and You Won’t Warm Hearts At The Sinclair (12/5)
You Won’t opened up for Lucius at the Sinclair last Thursday evening. Punk-country guitar and drums filled the huge stage, and (take note) any band that drops an in-song Back To The Future reference gets an automatic recommendation from me. Their songs and banter were goofy and self-aware. I don’t know if it was what I would call bashful, but it was never cocky, although the show did take some considerable confidence.
Dosh and Friends Put On Captivating Show (Great Scott 12/4)
I found out kind of last-minute that Dosh, along with some other highly recommended musicians, would be coming to Great Scott this past Wednesday. I hadn’t seen Dosh before, but I’ve been listening to him for a while, so it was a huge priority that I attend this show.
