Ah, Charlottesville during the cold months: If you lived here, you’d be freezing and ill-tempered by now! Fortunately for you, the various ‘nets, webs, vines and canopies are all a-buzz with music news and hot video action. Take off your mittens and start clicking through to…
A world without Coldplay? Could it be better than a world with Blink-182 again? Rocks Off doesn’t think so.
The ATO website, which is sending listeners elsewhere for the music that it will release from Paul McCartney’s The Fireman project next week? (And no, ATO Records did not sign Paul McCartney himself; but more on that in Curtain Calls next week…)
More ATO, which also signed Irish singer Lisa Hannigan…and, apparently, shipped her right out to network as an opener for Jason Mraz, who I always mistake for an ATO performer because he played the Pavilion and seems harmless.
David Berman, whose still-fresh documentary Silver Jew follows the former local on a tour through Israel. It screened on Pitchfork’s TV station through yesterday afternoon but, if you missed it, pay your $16 penance here. Or go to Pitchfork and watch Madlib battle Cut Chemist from Jurassic 5.
David Berman: Warm your toes with the recent Silver Jews documentary.
