Sharon Van Etten is first artist in the 2010 season of Weathervane Music’s (newly named!) Shaking Through video series. Sharon spends some time recording a brand news song, “Love More” and in this video discusses her creative process. This is heart-warming stuff, folks.
If you’re a gear nut and/or interested in the recording techniques and equipment, be sure to watch the second video...

Blonde Redhead Compose Score to Dungeons & Dragons...
twentyfourbit:
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I’m pretty sure this is the coolest music news story of the day. The Playlist reports that the brilliant NYC-based band Blonde Redhead have composed an original score to The Dungeon Masters, a new documentary about eccentric Dungeons & Dragons roleplayers.
