• NME Releases Full List of Best Albums of 2014: St. Vincent, Mac DeMarco and The War on Drugs Lead The Way

    Earlier this week we passed along the news that NME had released its choice for the best album of 2014. In its esteemed opinion, St. Vincent and her self-titled album took top prize this year, marking the first time in six years that a performer from outside of the "commonwealth" topped the British publication's list. The magazine published its full Top 50 on Thursday. You can check out the full thing here, or scroll down to see at least the Top 10.

  • Reading and Leeds Gives Taste of 2015 Lineup: Metallica, Jamie T and Run The Jewels Scheduled to Perform

    The UK got its first lineup announcement, of sorts, for the 2015 festival season as the organizers for the Reading and Leeds Festivals provided at least a small morsel of what to expect from the twin events during 2015: Metallica, Jamie T and Run The Jewels will be among the acts appearing at the events, which will take place between August 28-30, making this a rather early announcement. Glastonbury hasn't so much as played with our minds, although that event will take place nearly two months earlier than the Reading event. Get tickets while they're hot.

  • St. Vincent and Future Islands Take Top Honors for NME's Best of 2014 End-of-Year Awards

    The good news for those based in New York is that UK music publications have all released their biggest stories for the day by the time we wake up, giving us something to do as soon as we get to the office, thanks to a five-hour time difference. As coincidence would have it, NME also released its "best of" 2014 lists more than a month ahead of Christmas (which, unfortunately, may have hurt Britain's own One Direction down the stretch). St. Vincent took the top prize for Album of The Year with her self-titled release. Future Islands earned Track of The Year for "Seasons (Waiting On You)."
