“We did a tour where we did a version of the ‘Rehearsing My Choir’ record, which is rearranged from the original material,” Matt Friedberger says of the Furnaces’ 2005 album, which features the siblings’ grandmother telling the story of her life. “Then another tour we did for the ‘Bitter Tea’ album, it was totally rearranged. ‘Bitter Tea’ is not a very rock ‘n’ roll record, there’s not much guitar playing. But on one tour we played it as guitar rock. You want to make it a different record live.”

The Cleveland Plain-Dealer interviews Kim Deal of the Breeders about being in a band with her twin sister.
"I always wished we could be like the Gallagher brothers [of Oasis] or the Davies [Ray and Dave, of Kinks fame], where they just start hitting each other onstage,” Deal says, reached by phone at home in Dayton.
“It seems so much cooler. But we’ve never gotten into a physical fight onstage, even though I’d like to.”
The Guardian profiles singer-songwriter Thea Gilmore.
Bruce Springsteen has her on his iPod, Joan Baez invited her on tour, and she has collaborated with members of the Zutons and the Waterboys as well as Martha Wainwright. She has been described as “the best singer/songwriter of the last 10 years”, is not yet 29 and has just released her seventh album of self-penned songs (having written her first when she was 16).

Are you musicians who happen to be fans of “Lost,” or rabid fans of “Lost” who happen to play instruments?
Our main interest is in recapping. In order to recap successfully, you have to be familiar with the subject you aim to sum up. Since we have watched every episode of “Lost” multiple times and have been with it since season 1, we decided it was a good place to start. We have a variety of music projects going on right now between the two of us. We plan to widen the scope of our recapping to include other J.J. Abrams shows beginning with “Felicity” and move from there to books, movies, restaurant menus and weeks in politics.
Popmatters argues for the value of hype.
For all our complaining about hype, we would be somewhat lost without it. By roughly aggregating public opinion, hype frames the terms of the cultural conversation about music, making us collectively responsible for it. Thus, rather than making every discussion of music reveal perhaps more about ourselves than we intend, hype actually it liberates us from having to worry about revealing our “true tastes” at all. If we really like to bath in a warm bath of Andreas Vollenweider, no one has to know when we are arguing about the significance of Vampire Weekend or American Idol competitors for that matter. And once the conversation is established, hype gives us a reason to join in. Ultimately, it allows us to consume through culture things not always in ample supply: participation, the sense of belonging to something larger than ourselves, the feeling of being excited.

Some experts caution that videos aren’t the instant solution to the industry’s woes. “I haven’t seen any bottom-line evidence where somebody can point to a video and say, ‘Oh, we’ve sold X thousand copies of a new book because we did that new trailer,’ ” said Ron Hogan, who runs Galleycat.com, a publishing industry blog. But he added, “They do generate long-term buzz and create author awareness, and publishers must have an instinctive sense that this approach has been working.”
