Neil Young has been ending many shows on his current tour with the Beatles hit song “A Day in the Life”. Apparently at London’s Hard Rock Calling festival last week he was joined by Paul McCartney on stage to help sing this one. View the video below.

Thanks to Youtube for alerting me of another time these two shared the stage. In 2004 for Neil’s song “Only Love can Break Your Heart”.

Jim James, lead singer and mastermind of My Morning Jacket, will be releasing a solo EP under the new name Yim Yames. The EP, titled “Tribute to” was recorded in 2001 and is a collection of six songs written by George Harrison. This news has created quite the buzz around James’s solo career and has many fans interested. The album, which was recorded just a few days after Harrison’s death, is set for release on July 7th.

Listen to the song Behind that Locked Door:

Yimyames.com also says to expect a full length solo album soon. James is obviously a busy man, taking on his solo career and also his side project Monsters of Folk with M. Ward, Conor Oberst, and Mike Mogis. That’s right, while My Morning Jacket is taking a break from touring, Jim James is continuing on with a new band that formed out of friendship and respect following a 2004 collaborative tour. The debut album for Monsters of Folk will be released September 22 of this year.

Just returned recently from the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee. Very tired and poor now…..but I have begun to update the media section.

A week before Bonnaroo, I attended an A.A. Bondy concert in Brooklyn NY. It was a magical show and don’t be surprised if you start to hear more and more about this man. Anyway, I’ve updated the videos page with a bunch of videos from the show. Thanks to Mr. Bondy for letting me take these. Be sure to buy his album American Hearts and stay tuned for more photos, videos, and information about his next album.

Taking a week off to attend the Bonnaroo music festival. Should be back with a bunch of reviews, photos, videos, and setlists. Check back soon.
