The Low Anthem: "Charlie Darwin" Video (Awesome of the Day)

By Josh Jackson on 2:12 PM on November 6, 2009

I’ve talked about my love for The Low Anthem here on a few occasions, but I had to share their brand new video for the lovely song, “Charlie Darwin.” It’s done with stop-motion animation from Simon Taffe And Glenn Taunton, part of the design team behind The End of the Road Festival. With the help of a small team of painters, carpenters and handymen, the duo filmed the video at a studio in Sussex. Enjoy.... read more

The Low Anthem Covers Bob Dylan (Awesome of the Day)

By Josh Jackson on 12:25 PM on October 6, 2009

Doing their best to ensure that my list of the 50 Best Dylan Covers is out of date, The Low Anthem are giving away a free mp3 of their cover of "Dignity" to anyone who signs up for the band's mailing list. Ben Knox Miller has the appropriate gravitas in his voice, wondering what "it's going to take to find dignity," but it's Jocie Adams' clarinet that makes this song work so well. The trio recorded the song in Amsterdam's Studio Le Roy, and it's yours all in exchange for occasional emails they promise to fill with "a bastion of... read more

20 Fantastic "Live from Paste" Videos

By Josh Jackson on 7:00 AM on September 22, 2009

As a parent, I know I'm not supposed to have favorites. And all of the hundreds of "Live From Paste" videos are our babies. One of the best parts about working at Paste is the frequency of fantastic artists who stop by the studio in our offices at East Decatur Station when their tours take them through Atlanta. But our multimedia producer Kevin Keller and I have a particular fondness for a number of these performances, and we each chose 10 of our favorites to share with you. Some of these artists you'll know, but hopefully you'll discover some stellar... read more

These are just some of my favorites. 1. Camera Obscura - camera_obscura_ This Scottish band has released one of my favorite albums this year. Best recent tweet: Just been to collect my bike.

Best Music of 2009 (So Far): Kate Kiefer, Associate Editor

By Kate Kiefer on 7:00 AM on June 25, 2009

To celebrate the half-way point of 2009, this week Paste staffers are counting down their favorite albums and songs of the year (so far). Check out all of our lists here, and share your own favorites in the comments. You might notice that Passion Pit’s Manners isn’t on my list, and that’s because I don’t like Passion Pit very much. (Apparently I’m in the minority.) I didn’t include Wild Light’s “California On My Mind” either, but that’s only because Josh plays it so many times a day that I feel like it’s his own personal song. As for the music I did include…if... read more

Best Music of 2009 (So Far): Josh Jackson, Editor-in-Chief

By Josh Jackson on 1:20 AM on June 23, 2009

To celebrate the half-way point of 2009, this week Paste staffers are counting down their favorite albums and songs of the year (so far). Check out all of our lists here, and share your own favorites in the comments.I've always been an album guy, but this is shaping up to be a singles year for me. I've already had quite a few songs on repeat—particularly a somewhat profane power-pop anthem from Wild Light. So my Top 10 Songs has become a Top 20, partly because of the brilliant charity compilation Dark Was the Night. Bon Iver, who didn't release a... read more
