Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros perform during the second day of Bonnaroo 2010.

A Brooklyn band that are sort of obsessed with glam rock and the 1970s experimental tinkering and even a bit of European industrial remixing a tremendous song from Alex Ebert (Ima Robot) and his new large-personnel project? Why yes, yes it is. Here we have five-piece ArpLine, fresh off a greatly-received opening slot playing with [...]

To get a break from the Tennessee heat, Bonnaroo bands gathered in Jeremiah Weed's Backyard, a down-home hangout featuring lawn games, BBQ, and cocktails made with Jeremiah Weed's vodkas and bourbons. Check out video interviews below with L.A. collective Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros , who talked about the interaction that happens with fans during performances; London folk rockers Mumford & Sons , whose members cut off their jeans to withstand the Tennessee heat; singer/songwriter Simon">Harper Simon , who talked about his first Bonnaroo experience and the importance of the festival; and the Postelles , who were not only excited about playing the festival, but to see some of their favorite bands play as well. Also, be sure to check out even more videos from Jeremiah ...

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros are fast becoming the new Moby: Their songs have been used in Ford ads , HP ads, and now they're in an ad for the Palm webOS, which uses their whistling "Home." I guess that's cool for the band, since they can probably make more money doing this than selling records. But still, it's going to be weird to hear these songs removed from their commercials at a point. It's like how you can't hear Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" without thinking of Cadillacs.

Janglin – Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros The tune that brings this Ford Fiesta commercial to life is by the Road 2 Nowhere favourite, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, called Janlin. You should get their debut album, Up From Below, because it too, is a pretty big deal.

Next on my live music calendar is June 22nd for Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. I knew little about this group until I caught their set on the Coachella webcast. It was the highlight of my armchair weekend at Coachella. The group is the brainchild of Alex Ebert (aka Edward Sharpe). They definitely bring

The Besnard Lakes - Albatross   ( buy ) Playing Bowery Ballroom tonight . The textural guitars are mostly static and the winsome vocal is delivered at a single patient pace throughout its five minutes. Its calmness makes it build slowly so it feels like a time lapse video of spliced together nature films and urban quotidians (not unlike the actual video ). At it's cymbal-crashing climax you can easily imagine a budding flower or a baby walking; it's big because her voice isn't. Ezra Furman and The Harpoons - Take Off Your Sunglasses  ( buy ) Sometimes there's nothing as uplifting as a harmonica ...

Filed under: What's That Song? 'Home,' Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros Something about the feel-good folk of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros has put Alex Ebert's hippie collective squarely on the radar of the advertising world. The band's whimsical tunes have turned up on enough recent television commercials to ensure that even the most musically apathetic could still probably whistle along to a song or two. The latest ad to feature the Zeros comes from smartphone manufacturer Palm. In the 30-second spot, a man walks into an airport while the whistled melody and driving, four-on-the-floor ...
