Abigail Washburn & the Sparrow Quartet debuted earlier this year with a self-titled album that gorgeously fuses Chinese folk, American old-time music, jazz, bluegrass and more. Given the quartet’s involvement with music in China, and its coming gigs at the new U.S. embassy in Beijing during this summer’s Olympics, the all-star group—featuring Washburn plus Béla Fleck, Casey Dreissen and Ben Sollee—appears in Paste’s International Issue.In this extended conversation with Paste, the band discusses its unique sound, new album, and the beauty of cultural exchange through music—plus the difference between claw-hammer and three-finger banjo style—while Béla Fleck does his best to crack everybody up.

FestivusWhat’s struck me so far about Bonnaroo is how friendly everybody is. I suppose some would chalk it up to the festival being in Tennessee, but I'm not so sure-- I'm from Chattanooga, and I've experienced no shortage of surly Tennesseans in my life, most of them in large groups. Plus, almost everyone we talked to yesterday was from out of state-- way out of state. And I can see the draw. This place is just unlike anywhere I've ever been. It's like a little city, but also a county fair, but also a giant backyard party, but also a sprawling, dirty outside mall—an extraterrestrial shanty town plopped down on earth from the planet Tie Dye.

Ctrl-VMy New Discovery of the Week
Johnny Flynn: Listening to 60-something entries for our Best of What's Next issue in September last week, the one that I keep going back to is Johnny Flynn. A bit Robyn Hitchcock, a bit Sixteen Horsepower, but with the exuberance of The Waterboys, this Londoner has won me as a fan. Only after visiting his MySpace page did I realize that I'd had his upcoming album sitting unlistened on my desk, courtesy of Lost Highway.
Best Sitcoms Since 1980
I don't have much of an opinion on sitcoms that predated me, so we'll go back to when I was nine. I'm curious to hear which ones you think I've overlooked, so let me know what rip-roaring laughs or laugh-tracks I've been missing. And before you say Taxi, just know that it debuted in 1978 (which is why I had to delete M*A*S*H, long may it rerun).

Here's the worst pitfall of hip-hop producing—creatively re-purposing intellectual property always carries the risk of a fat ol' lawsuit from a sampled musician. In the latest case of rap sample litigation, it's the estate of a dead musician claiming punitive damages for sampling without permission.Found in:

As you might have read already, there's a new Hold Steady song out on the internet today. It's from their new album, Stay Positive, which won't be released until July 15th. Totally exciting, right? Sure, but only if you're not me and you lack the totally unreasonable expectations I have for, like, everything.

In Coraline, the 2002 young adult novella by acclaimed fantasy author Neil Gaiman, the young title character discovers an alternate universe populated by the mysterious doppelgangers of her loving but distant parents, and must scrape by on her own wits to escape. Often compared to Alice In Wonderland, it’s a compelling story—and sturdy enough, one hopes, to be retold in three different way throughout the next year.

Ahhh, radio. There once was a time when you informed us, made us smarter and introduced us to new music. However, times change, leaves fall and once-great mediums devolve into vapid versions of their former selves, dominated by crappy '90s alternative rock stations and yelly AM blowhards like Neil Boortz and Michael Savage.

Start spreadin' the news. The famed but only recently Oscar-fied director Martin Scorsese is tentatively slated to direct an upcoming biopic on none other than Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. In an interview with Canada's Sun Media, Sinatra's youngest daughter and film producer Tina Sinatra spilled the beans on the project, stating that Scorsese is slated to helm the upcoming Universal Pictures film on the life and the times of America's greatest heartthrob. (Sorry, Elvis. You too, JT.) Tina also acknowledged that it is still is a little too early to officially announce the famed director's involvement in the project but went on to say, "Oh, go ahead and print it, I don't care!" No problem, Tina. No problem.

Each year, the Library of Congress chooses 25 works to add to the collection based on nominations by the public and consultations with the National Recordings Preservation Board.

Not only are two former Paste Bands of the Week, Bishop Allen and Evangelicals, about to embark on pretty intense, month-long, multi-continent tours, but they’re actually going to meet up at one point and play two shows together.

As summer nears, so do the releases of animated films featuring pretty darn cute creatures, like the wide-eyed WALL•E and chubby Kung Fu Panda. But Jack Black and Cee-Lo Green are one-uppping the robot film in the name of martial arts bears everywhere. How are they doing it? With a cover of Carl Douglas' 1974 karaoke staple "Kung Fu Fighting," of course.

It's been a long, winding road for Jimmy Eat World. The emo dudes have turned into monsters of mainstream rock with an unlikely career that's seen them go from scrappy, upstart high-schoolers to the biggest thing since The Continental Baking Co. started making a pastry called the Twinkie. The band also just finished its co-headlining tour with a little group called Paramore. JEW keeps on truckin' and the band has a number of dates lined up for those hot summer days that are oh-so-close.

Has it really been almost five years since the last Spiritualized record? Sure, Jason Pierce (aka J Spaceman) has kept busy recording soundtracks to beautiful-looking, idiosyncratic indie films and touring the world a bit, but five years without a mind-expanding, heroin-use-referencing, orchestra-arranging Spiritualized record is at least three years too long.
