Beck’s Record Club is nothing new at this point. Previous guests have included MGMT, Devendra Banhart, Nigel Goodrich, Jamie Lidell and many others. For the club’s latest effort, Beck brings together Wilco and Feist to cover Skip Spence’s album, Oar. Check out the video of “Little Hands” below.

It’s a very special Bon Iver week here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Justin Vernon and crew played the legendary Fillmore this past Tuesday, September 22nd (where he announced the band’s upcoming hiatus, apparently), and tonight, September 24th, they’ll be taking the stage at the newly-renovated Fox Theater.
In celebration of such beautiful music here [...]

Welcome back to Video Round-Up, where the SD crew picks through the flurry of videos circulating this particular week and posts the highlights.

I have a love/hate relationship with Christmas music. I genuinely love it, but there are rules. First, I’m a big Grinch about playing Christmas music early. I’m stricter than most people on this issue, but can’t we all agree that Thanksgiving is the absolute earliest date to break out the sleigh bells?
There is also too [...]

It’s that time of year again — the turkey leftovers are long gone and we’re hearing Christmas music in every store in town, so it must be time for best-albums-of-year lists.
After screaming matches, insults and a fist fight or two, the dust has settled and the Stranger Dance staff stands before you united with our [...]

Maybe it’s the death of Isaac Hayes (not to mention Bernie Mac, wtf?!), or maybe it’s the fog that keeps destroying San Francisco’s summer nights, but I’m feeling a little down and out. So I apologize if these picks aren’t as upbeat as normal. At least Outside Lands is almost here…

This is probably the most excited I’ve been since I started doing this four weeks ago. One track that deserves special attention is Jon Lucien’s “Search for the Inner Self,” another sickening piece of the flawless Gilles Peterson Digs America collection of Jazz & Soul. Also, I had to give Deerhunter two tracks on this [...]

Feist delivered a stunning performance of “I Feel it All” on the Colbert Report last night. OK, so the VP has a slight crush.
