  • 5 Great Tracks from Phil Lesh on The Grateful Dead Bassist: 'Box of Rain,' 'New Potato Caboose' and More

    The biggest concert of the year, by this reporter's reckoning, has to be the "Fare Thee Well" concert series announced by the Grateful Dead to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the band's legendary shows at Soldier Field in Chicago.

  • Axwell Λ Ingrosso Share Part 2 of "On My Way" Film With Techno Viking-Inspired "Can't Hold Us Down"

    Axwell / Ingrosso have released Part 2 of their music video/film series. The new video for the previously released single "Can't Hold Us Down" follows up "On My Way," which introduced the story of Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso as fighters pitted against each other in a rural, beat-down manufacturing town in Romania. Just like a TV show, the video starts off with scenes from the previous video, giving viewers a recap of what happened in "On My Way" before launching right into the second part of the video. "Cant Hold Us Down" kicks off right where "On My Way" ended, as Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso run away from Hedford's angry financial backers, who are unhappy to see that they lost their money and the two had conspired against everyone. A car blows up rather unnecessarily and then a scene inspired by Techno Viking occurs with the burly enforcer taking off his shirt and laying down some awesome dance moves.
