The Gaslight Anthem cover Bon Iver for Record Store Day

Those boys from Jersey – who I unabashedly love – are putting out an EP called Hold You Up for 2012’s (second) Record Store Day happening on Black Friday.  It’s an acoustic EP (details here), including a cover of Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love.” Bias aside, it’s a pretty great cover.  They manage to retain the haunting nature of the original while adding their own touches – most notably, keeping the interweaving guitars that they’ve perfected.

Taylor Swift moves one million in a week. Again.

So Taylor Swift has sold 1.2 million copies of her latest album, Red.  She, of course, did this two years ago, as well.  While it is impressive, it’s also telling: Swift gets rewarded (greatly) for essentially putting out the same collection of songs every coupla years.  She hasn’t really evolved or grown as a songwriter. The real story of the week is the runner up to her: Kendrick Lamar, who’s fan-fucking-tastic LP good kid, m.A.A.d…

Science meets “Art”: Ferns named after Lady Gaga

Scientists from Duke University decided to name new 19 species of ferns after Lady Gaga.

The biologist Kathleen Pryer and her team discovered a new genus of fern, and observing the similarities between these plants and Lady Gaga, maybe they thought that this way everybody will memorize their names easily, they ended…

When asked if he would form a Brit supergroup, he promptly replied: “Oh, f*ck that. I don’t f*cking mix with anybody – British or any other musicians. I tend not to hang…

Rod Stewart’s biography: taking cocaine anally and more

Rod Stewart is one of those guys who took partying to a whole new level. I’d set him right alongside David Bowie and below Jimi Hendrix, in the unofficial party hall of fame. In his published memory, Rod: The Autobiography, the rocker reveals that he used to take cocaine anally – but all for health – to protect his nose, that is. …we started buying anti-cold capsules from the chemist’s, separating the two halves of…
