The Fugees- Ready or Not

Lauryn Hill sang this song (from 1996) and a few others when she performed for the Amnesty International Bringing Human Rights Home concert yesterday; the first “Human Rights” concert in 16 years. The original was in 1986 and included U2, Sting and Peter Gabriel.

Performers at last night’s show included Imagine Dragons, Blondie, The Flaming Lips, and others, as well as an appearance by members of Pussy Riot, who spoke out for human rights and against Putin (after an introduction by Madonna).

Jake Bugg- Seen It All

Only 19 years old, and already English artist Jake Bugg has had an album reach number one on the UK Albums Chart (Jake Bugg 2012). His most recent, Shangri La, was released in November last year and was produced by Rick Rubin. He’s often compared to Bob Dylan but there is a lot of variety in his music as well as his influences.

This song is off his self-titled album. He’s playing tonight (1/24) at The Wiltern before moving on to Dallas and then Houston, Texas.

Mazzy Star- Halah

Mazzy Star has a new album out Seasons of Your Day. My favorite is still their first album, She Hangs Brightly, which the song above is from. The band is probably best known for the song “Fade Into You”, from their second album, which was used in pretty much everything.

They are playing at The Wiltern tonight (11/7).
