Largehearted Boy has culled an impressive number of audio streams, performance videos, and downloads from Bonnaroo. If you’re curious about the sets from Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, Buffalo Springfield, the Black Keys, etc., this is the place to find them.

It was great to see so many of you at the Non-Commvention in Wilmington. Here is a list of the songs we played in the Music Meeting on Saturday:

Congratulations to all of the fantastic artists who were chosen as Grammy winners last night! Songlines is pleased to have played a small part in the success of the albums by these winners:

Arcade Fire, The Suburbs: Album of the Year
Cee Lo Green, “Fuck You”: Best Urban/Alternative Performance
Patty Griffin, Downtown Church: Best Traditional Gospel Album
Mavis Staples, You Are Not Alone: Best Americana Album
Ray LaMontagne, God Willin’ and the Creek Don’t Rise: Best Contemporary Folk Album

And yes, we continue to delight in working in a radio format that allowed us to contribute to campaigns for both the year’s Best Traditional Gospel Album and an eminently catchy song called “Fuck You.”

Though we had little to nothing to do with the success of these winners, we were still thrilled for them because they’re great:
The Black Keys, “Tighten Up”: Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals
John Legend & the Roots, Wake Up!: Best R&B Album
Jay-Z & Alicia Keys, “Empire State of Mind”: Best Rap/Sung Collaboration
Grupo Fantasma, El Existential: Best Latin Rock, Alternative or Urban Album

We were also very happy for our good pal Lisa Sonkin, who got an acceptance-speech shout-out from Train!

Let’s all hope that this year’s Grammy performances, winners and nominees suggest a glimmer of hope for the future.

Check out the fantastic EPK for Gregg Allman’s first solo album in 14 years, Low Country Blues. It offers great insight into the project with compelling interview segments and footage from the studio sessions.

Arcade Fire’s Win Butler revealed some details to Pitchfork on the band’s secretive, potentially awesome impending short-film collaboration with Spike Jonze: “It’s like a science-fiction B-movie companion piece for the record. Basically, we played Spike some music from the album and the first images that came to his mind had the same feeling as this idea for a science fiction film I had when I was younger. My brother and I and Spike wrote it together, which was really fun — it was like total amateur hour. We shot it in Austin and a lot of kids are in the film, and it was great just hanging out with these 15-year-olds for a week and writing down all the funny things they said.”

Congratulations to Triple A stations KEXP/Seattle, KRCC/Colorado Springs, WAPS/Akron, WERS/Boston, WEVL/Memphis, WFHB/Bloomington, WNRN/Charlottesville, WRLT/Nashville, WXPN/Philadelphia and WYMS/Milwaukee for being named by Paste amongst the best little radio stations in the country! (Little, for the purposes of this article, meant that they broadcast at 5000 watts or less.)

Arcade Fire will release their new full length CD via Merge on Tuesday. The Suburbs is a remarkable collection of songs that demand to be heard as a whole. In the New York Times, Jon Pareles says “the album doesn’t resolve its own questions; it expands their mystery.” Read more about the band in his article today.

When copies of Arcade Fire‘s forthcoming record, The Suburbs, become available in stores, they will feature 8 different album covers. Paste revealed all 8 yesterday. The differences are quite subtle, and identify well with the themes of the new songs. Here’s my favorite:

A wonderful unreleased Pearl Jam song called “Better Days” was recently unearthed and leaked. Suspected to be from the sessions for 2002′s Riot Act, the song is rumored to appear on the forthcoming soundtrack for Eat, Pray, Love.
