There have been recent rumors that M. Ward and Conor Oberst AKA Bright Eyes may be forming a band together – which I find highly exciting because not only are they amazing singers/songwriters in their own rights, but they have an amazing chemistry when they play together.
Check out the two of them playing “O’ Brien” [...]

Oh this warms the cockles of my heart! NBC.com ran this story about ten music acts that are attempting to go green as they tour. This means using bio-diesel for their tour buses, requiring venues to conform to recycling standards, and encouraging audiences to carpool to their shows.
