Found in: Music, NewsJosé González launches green tour
Okay, so it's easy to make fun of entertainers who try to "go green." Very easy. But to paraphrase the eternal wisdom of Ian MacKaye and Minor Threat, at least some folks are friggin' trying.

González will team with Reverb, an organization that specializes in helping rock stars negate the carbon footprint that their tour schedules create.

Found in: Music, NewsJosé González talks touring, In Our Nature
Five continents and four years later, Swedish-born José González is hanging up his touring hat until In Our Nature, the follow-up to his 2005 debut Veneer, is released on September 25. The guitarist, whose bare, sentimental sound is oft-compared to Elliott Smith and Nick Drake, was thrown into the European spotlight after his cover of The Knife’s “Heartbeats” was used in a Sony BRAVIA TV line commercial. The retinal party of an ad featured every kid’s dream: a parade of 250,000 bouncy balls set loose in the streets of San Francisco. Since then, Veneer has sold over 700,000 copies, and... read more
