Last week I read in an interview where singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards said she used to listen to music on the bus to school and wonder what others were thinking. Feeling so moved by what she was listening to, she “couldn’t understand how people weren’t as affected as [she] was.” Edwards went on to talk about the real music bug you eventually get when “you start discovering music on your own and not music that friends are telling you about.”
Both Jam on the River and Summer Camp seem to have gone off without any major hitches this weekend in Philadelphia and Chillicothe respectively. You can check out videos and

It’s possible that I missed them, if I did PLEASE point me in the direction of some covers of these tunes.
As always, you must register/login to Imeem to listen to these tracks in their entirety (If you’re only getting 30 seconds, you’re not logged in).

Another fantastic season of Austin City Limits comes to a close this weekend with a performance by R.E.M. recorded during SXSW in March. They’ll play a buncha songs from Accelerate
iClips, one of the newest players in the video streaming of live music events, will be bringing us full sets from Summer Camp in Chillicothe IL all weekend long. 5 sets of moe., 3 sets of Umphrey’s McGee, 2 sets from Lotus and 18 other bands and DJs.
iClips even makes it possible to do things you couldn’t do in attendance, like catch all of The Flaming Lips and The New Pornographers without missing a minute of headliners moe. and UM. If you’re looking to experience some live music without the traffic jams, cicadas or w00kies…hook a laptop up to a large television, or simply blast the audio through an open window to the BBQ in your backyard.
As we mentioned earlier this week, the hot trend over the last few years among indie-rock acts has been performing a classic album from their catalog live. Most of these
