Since you guys have had so many suggestions for our first-dance and father/daughter songs (keep 'em coming!), I’m enlisting your help once again—we're looking for the perfect recessional music for our wedding. The song should be upbeat and celebratory since it will play at the end of the ceremony, right after we’re pronounced husband and wife. Yippee! Here are my top ten, though I’m not in love with any of them. You can listen below. Which ones do you like? Got any better ideas?

Found in: Blogs, 1000 WordsIf You're Happy and You Know It: The 13 Best Songs with Handclaps
Despite the wide variety of musicians at Bonnaroo this year, there was a commonality I observed at nearly every set, from Snoop Dogg to TV on the Radio to Bon Iver: the prevalence of the handclap. The crowd went wild each time the band gave them a beat they could clap along to, and the musicians seemed to appreciate the response. Why are handclaps so appealing? Maybe it's the sing-alongs we're taught as children, like "B-I-N-G-O" and of course, "If You're Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands." Maybe it's the interactive nature of making percussion along with the... read more

In the realm of covers records, some artist pairings are less obvious than others. Remember when that young, blonde actress took on the work of the gravelly-voiced rocker? Didn't really see that one coming. There are other moments, however, when modern musicians have the sense to trace their sonic lineage to an appropriate root. Jim James covering George Harrison seems to constitute one such example. The My Morning Jacket frontman, under the moniker Yim Yames (yeah, we don't really get it either), will release the 6-song EP, Tribute To, this August.... read more

Found in: Music, NewsTales of the Coffin Nail: 27 Smoking Songs That'll leave you Breathless
Aside from that one weekend on the eve of 7th grade, when my parents left me with my older sister, I’ve never been a smoker. When I actually inhaled, it always tore my throat up so bad I couldn’t even finish a whole cigarette. Still, that weekend, a random, inconsequential moment occurred that I still—for some strange reason—remember in astonishing detail. It was the night before the first day of school—late August 1991 in the Atlanta suburbs—and an intense thunderstorm had just rolled through. My sister was already asleep in her basement apartment, so I took my boombox down to... read more
