I caught up with Christian Letts, the lead guitarist of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, where the band was performing at the DeLuna Festival in Pensacola, Fla.

ME: You guys have some really positive songs, and I read that Alex Ebert wanted to sing of optimism and positivity instead of songs that just reiterated a destructive attitude, how has…

As a result of relentlessness attacks by the dying music industry against P2P services, one of the biggest players in the sharing scene LimeWire has been forced to shut down its service for a minimum of 6 months as a result of a court order.

This summer I managed to get ahold of some footage and samples of the alleged new Tron Legacy soundtrack by futuristic house DJs Daft Punk.
