First Aid Kit - Live @ Bestival 2012

 We're madly in love with First Aid Kit's The Lion's Roar, def one of the best albums of the year! Johanna and Klara Söderberg graced the stage at this year's Bestival on the Isle of Wright in the UK, and we love to see them play live. Such talents! They make being so badass look so effortless, haha. Check out Emmylou and The Lion's Roar beloooow!

Polar Music Prize 2012 - Musical Performances

The equivalent to a Nobel Prize for a musician would have to be the Polar Music Prize. This years recipients are Paul Simon and Yo-Yo Ma, who both traveled to Sweden to accept. Both are exceptional at their craft and truly well deserved winners. Some of Sweden's finest contemporary artists paid tribute - and below are what we gathered from our beloved youtube! Really amazing to see the reaction from Paul Simon watching and taking in the moment. Must be such an emotional roller coaster hearing your babies like this sitting next to the Swedish royals and being so in the spotlight for your life accomplishments. Enjoy! 

Laleh - Still Crazy After All These Years

Loreen - Bridge Over Troubled Water 

First Aid Kit - America

Timbuktu - You Can Call Me Al

Yeap, they threw in some dubstep and everything last night, haha. Listen below! Hi! See Ya! Hold tight!

Hercules and Love Affair & Antony Hegarty - Blind - Live in London

Everything is comin' up Antony Hegarty - and we love it! We've been playing Antony and the Johnsons new album Cut The World like you wouldn't believe. And now we get this massive treat the same week! Two night's ago Hercules and Love Affair, whom we adore, took the stage at The London Wonderground, and Antony joined 'em to sing the incredible Blind, something that has never happened before. That's right, they had never done it live before! Check out the rousing live version below! LOVE the background info we got too! They really thought this bangin' track sucked after they'd recorded it in a cheap studio, and shelved it for 2 years! Gah! This made us love it even more!
