Buzz-Worthy Video: Beck, Feist, Wilco Performing Together

Guaranteed way to make me drop everything I'm doing and press play: tell me that Beck, Feist, and Wilco are collaborating.

Guaranteed way to make me drop everything I'm doing and press play: tell me that Beck, Feist, and Wilco are collaborating. It's true; Beck recruited the folk chanteuse, the rock band, and British singer Jamie Lidell to join him to perform a tribute to '60s musician Skip Spence.

Their cover of Spence's song, "Little Hands," was recorded in the famous Sunset Sound Studios in Hollywood in ultrahip black and white. The song is beautiful, but I'm still just beaming to see some of my favorite artists in one room together (including Jeff Tweedy's son Spencer on drums!). And Beck, you're rocking that devil's haircut.

What to Download: New Music Today

Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores. So I take a spin through each week's music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download.

Wilco reintroduction: I've already checked out Wilco: The Album (check out my track-by-track review here), and now it's officially out and ready for you to download! It's more spunky rock than it is country-ish, and overall it's a well-rounded and satisfying album. Check out the tracks "Wilco" and "You and I" to get started.

A little EP is better than nuffin: It feels like it's been forever since Austin indie band Spoon released its stunning 2007 album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. I have no idea when this group will release another full album, but at least we get a fun EP today! The first track, "Got Nuffin," is hard-driving with an interesting guitar solo. The other two tracks, "Tweakers" and "Stroke Their Brains," are more experimental but well worth the download.

One more up next, so just read more

Album Review: Wilco (The Album)

I'm not a Wilco connoisseur, exactly, in that I don't know every song by heart or every nuance of the variations in their discography, but I do own many of the band's albums and I am seriously stoked to see a whole new one emerge from them, titled simply Wilco (The Album).

I'm not a Wilco connoisseur, exactly, in that I don't know every song by heart or every nuance of the variations in their discography, but I do own many of the band's albums and I am seriously stoked to see a whole new one emerge from them, titled simply Wilco (The Album). The album is streaming in its entirety right now (you can take a spin through it here), so I took a little listen.

Just like the funny/cute cover, many of the songs have a spirit of playfulness to them, even as many of the lyrics remain typically sad or ominous. It's more spunky rock than it is country-ish, as some previous albums have been, and overall it's a really well-rounded and satisfying album. Wilco fans will probably be pleased to hear some familiar sounds, but the music is still imaginative and interesting enough to hook new listeners. I'm digging it.

Ellen Page and Wilco Texting for SNL Promo

Ellen Page & Wilco: Texting Machines

Dear SNL, I love you.

Dear SNL, I love you. Love, geeksugar.

Not only did SNL bring back ultimate geeky girl Tina Fey for their first show back from the strike, tonight's host is going to be Ellen Page (whose Juno hamburger phone was a big winner in Oscar Season), along with Wii-lovers and all-around bada**es Wilco. Either SNL is a huge geeksugar fan and trying to seduce me with this promo, or they just got the memo that Ellen Page = young, and young people = texting.

Wilco Hops On the Wii Train With Wiilco Tees

I've always loved Wilco, mostly because I have a tremendous soft spot in my heart for moody rocker guys with a little funk, but when I found out that the band is selling Wiilco tee shirts at their concerts I fell a little deeper in love with the fellas.

In case you can't tell, the shirts feature Miis - the customizable characters that you can create and use for playing games like Wii sports - that resemble band members Jeff, Glenn, Mikael, John, Pat and Nels. They aren't available on the band's official website yet. Trust me, I would have already bought one.

Playlist: The Summer Road Trip

We're smack-dab in the middle of Summer, and to me, there are few more quintessential Summer vacations than a good old-fashioned road trip.

We're smack-dab in the middle of Summer, and to me, there are few more quintessential Summer vacations than a good old-fashioned road trip. Of course, any good road trip needs a great Playlist, and there is no shortage of songs that pay tribute to motorized wanderlust.

In fact, when I made my trip cross-country several years ago, I asked all of my friends to burn mix CDs so I would have plenty to listen to en route. Of course, that was before these newfangled iPod Playlists, but I've used those original CDs as inspiration for my summer road trip iMix. Clicking the link takes you to a URL that will ask you to launch iTunes, so just click "launch application" in the pop-up window. Since I'm now publishing the BuzzSugar Playlists on iTunes, you can even buy the iMix for your next road trip. Tell me what would be on your road-trip mix, and to see the list of songs on mine, read more
