What's Hot

.
My Morning Jacket are have always been an inventive act and beginning with their upcoming European dates the group will begin the “Spontaneous Curation Series” which will let fan club members and concertgoers curate the band’s set lists through Twitter and is one of the coolest ideas that we’ve heard in a long time.

.
Each show will be different and you can view the full list of them below.

Finally the multi-instrumentalist known as Jonti has announced a U.S. and European tour with Gotye in support of Jonti’s album Twirlgig. The fun kicks off in Portland on June 14th and wraps up in Copenhagen on November 21st, so we’ve got a feeling he’s going to continue to have “Somebody That I Used To Know” stuck in his head until roughly 2015.
