Steve LampirisThose 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.

Dr. Strangelove
“Dreams are great, but eventually you have to wake up.” You probably haven’t heard of Cash Wilson, or his latest album. The Nashville-based singer/songwriter’s CD fell into my hands after a friend recommended I give it a shot. Since it was coming out of Nashville, I expected to hear either country-pop or desperate indie rock. Luckily, Cash Wilson sidesteps these stereotypes and provides a quality album that a lot of people would surely…

Killers frontman picks on Richard Dawkins: ‘Nothing science will ever find will disprove God’
The Killers’ frontman Brandon Flowers has recalled a debate he had with evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins on Swedish TV, stating that he is firmly convinced nothing can ever prove or disprove the existence of God. Flowers claims he was given a bad edit, and that the world hates the Christian man, which is why he was taken out of context. I don’t know what world he’s been living in, but the hate seems to be…
