Osheaga is the same weekend as Lollapalooza, which is both a gift and a curse (like my superior intelligence over you dumb readers. Wait, come back!). They managed to etch out a pretty good initial line up. But wait –...
Glastonbury aka England’s contribution to kick ass festivals (of which they have many) have revealed parts of their 2013 line up. They took 2012 off (the damn year I lived there!) – did they return with a bang? Um, yes!...

Beach House have made a video for their beautiful song, Lazuli, which is off the recently released Bloom. We get some channel surfing, exploding eggs, and American Beauty-esque paper bag fascination. Oh, and some weird supernatural, world-scattering phenomena happening. Give...
I love how UK is separated out from the European tour part – yes, I know the UK is part of Europe, but that’s how Muse (and 90% of people) classify things dealing with the UK and Europe. Yesterday, we...
