1. Peter Buck Announces Lineup For Todos Santos Music Festival, Solo Album Details
By Josh Jackson
We talked to Peter Buck about his upcoming festival in Mexico and his new post-R.E.M. solo album. “I haven’t really come to terms with [being a frontman],” he said. “I have no idea what’s going to happen.

If those two weren’t enough they got Jon Favreau (Iron Man) to direct this epic first episode.

5. Grizzly Bear Review: Shields
