Rolling Stone: 50 Best Live Bands Right Now www.rollingstone.com/music/news/50-greatest-live-acts-right-now-20130731All in all, a pretty solid list. Hard to argue with the top two. Bruce and Prince are in a class all their own. Looks like I've seen 31 of the top 50, and I'll add QOTSA next week and NIN in a couple months. Sigur Ros should be waaaaaaaaay higher. Needs more EDM. I dig on Sleigh Bells, but they probably shouldn't be on this list.

Yeah, this seems a lot more like a "greatest live bands that aren't EDM or any variation of that genre, except Skrillex" list.
They had some serious balls putting Skrillex on that list over the hundreds of other electronic artists I could name that are better than him in a live performance. Sigh, I guess it IS Rolling Stone.

Sleigh Bells above Sigur Ros? Even you Sleigh Bells fans know that's a fucking joke and completely voids the list.

Trey Anastasio is pretty much the only one of those voters who's opinion I trust, and he didn't even put his own band high enough on the list.
Boo this list.

I would like to point out once again that I once witnessed Skrillex have to stop in middle of his set because the mouse pad on his macbook failed. They eventually brought out another laptop, but still one of the biggest live fails I've ever seen. I guess the term live is used loosely when you are talking about a laptop dj. I know he has since moved on to CDJs, but that shit still happened.

Just read an article in Spin magazine about The National making a Grateful Dead tribute album.
"According to Relix, the band got approval from the surviving members of the Dead — happy belated birthday to the sadly deceased Jerry Garcia — and guests will most likely include members of Bon Iver, Vampire Weekend, the Walkmen, the War on Drugs, and Kurt Vile & the Violators. The Dessners also hope that Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo and Yo La Tengo's Ira Kaplan, both huge Deadheads, will contribute."- Spin magazine
I am extremely happy about this.The National have talked about it for a couple years now. It is finally happening.

Death Grips dangerously close to Wayne Coyne levels of annoyance.

Honestly? Fuck Death Grips. Thanks for the great albums and all, but those dudes are some of the most unprofessional assholes to come around in music in a long time.

Not really surprising. There were a few tense moments before their Sasquatch set where I was seriously worried that they were saying "fuck it" and going home.

Are you guys really still surprised when they pull this kind of stuff? Death Grips just don't give a fuck.

The bad news....Helms Alee will no longer be releasing an album in 2013. The good news....Helms Alee will be releasing a new album in 2014. The best news....Helms Alee will be releasing this new album via Sargent House! A match made in heaven. One of my favorite PNW bands teaming up with one of my favorite labels in the world. I am so exited this is happening
