Introducing / Gary Clark Jr.
Recently, on Spotify, I stumbled up this talented dude and his odes to soul music. His sound is reminiscent of Mayer Hawthorne—but better. And I find his record Please Come Home to be particularly refreshing.
But Bright Lights is his most successful track, and here he is performing it for SPIN Magazine’s Spin Sessions:

Bon ee-VARE / A Take Away Show
When Bon Iver (pronounced ee-VARE) won a Grammy for Best New Artist on Sunday, nowithstanding the fact that his first album was released in 2008, nearly at once, most everybody watching—save for The Washington’s Post’s Chris Cillizza, one of my favorite follows on Twitter and Iver’s number one fan—wondered who this scruffy, nerdy white guy was.
Wonder no more.
I’ve heard his name for quite some time, mostly from Cillizza’s tweets. But, like many, I first heard Iver on Kanye West’s Lost in the World [1] which samples Iver’s Woods. And then there’s his impressive rendition of Bonnie Raitt’s I Can’t Make You Love Me.
I may not be as into Iver as Cillizza is, but I certainly recognize his talent.
And, now, the whole world is starting to recognize his scruffy face—and name.

Adele’s Coronation
Our adoration for Adele need not be repeated here. And we are not alone. On Sunday, a new Queen of Pop was crowned.
Her stage-fright is well-documented and was not absent from her performance. You could hear her nerves in her voice. But she had nothing to prove, after delivering one of the finest albums in recent memory.
And, so with six Grammys in tow, Adele reigns supreme.
And she also has it all, rolling the deep.
