Awesome of the Day: Jeff Tweedy does "Single Ladies" (The Song)

He’s married. Get your minds out of the gutters. At any rate, the Wilco frontman sang Beyonce’s hit at a solo gig in Chicago in March—or at least started to sing and then resorted to reciting the lyrics—and the dramatic footage has been circling the Web....  read more

In Memoriam: A Video Sampler of Academy Awards Best Song Performances

In Memoriam: A Video Sampler of Academy Awards Best Song Performances

The perfect song can vault a good scene in a great movie to iconic status. Just imagine Rose and Jack on the bow of the Titanic, arms spread wide, without CĂ©line Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” playing over the scene. You’ve probably heard that this year, for the first time, the Oscars won’t feature live performances by Best Song nominees. The songs will still make an appearance, but this time via movie clips, “which is how most nominated achievements are featured within the show,” Leslie Unger, a spokeswoman for the Academy, said in a statement. But really, can videos...  read more

First came Beyonce’s (probably) off-the-cuff quote from a Guardian interview about wanting to work with Of Montreal. Then came Of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes’ response to Paste: He’d be fully psyched to collaborate with her. Which, in turn, got us and certain parts of the internet psyched as well....  read more

2010 Grammy Nominees Announced

2010 Grammy Nominees Announced

The nominees for the 52nd Grammys were announced last night, and, though the awards have always skewed towards the most mainstream of the mainstream, this year the nominees read like a Top 40 radio playlist.

There's no doubt Hova is one of the hardest working men in the industry (remember, he's a business, man), but he's so busy we've barely been able to keep track of him. So, here's a brief primer on his late-summer exploits....  read more
