SKIFFLE BALL: THE GREAT BILLY BRAGG ON INSPIRATIONAL GRASSROOTS AND GIVING UP BEING HIP

Written by M.J. TIDWELL Posted July 13, 2017 Filed Under: A+E, Books

I used to feel, metaphorically, that I stood by a vast river of music and everything that was happening came down that river and I hooked out anything that was interesting to me. Now, I feel like I’m on a small boat on a calm sea and I’m only hearing the stuff that swims near me.

RUN FOR COVER: VAMPIRE WEEKEND VS. MUMFORD & SONS: “COUSINS”

Written by NINA CORCORAN Posted February 13, 2015 Filed Under: MUSIC, Run For Cover

Run For Cover is a weekly music column comparing cover songs to the original version. Prepare for a major bending of rules as we hear musicians throw around genres, tempos, style, and intent. Whether they’re picking up another’s song out of respect or boredom, the results have impressed us.
