Say you’re starting a band and can pick any living frontwoman to lead it. Who’s it gonna be? Emily Haines fits in my top three, easy.

The New York City Ballerina Project is a beautiful, ongoing series began in 2002 by photographer Dane Shitagi. There is now a book & over 200 prints available for purchase. Some of these are just astounding.

It’s been a long time since a television series has knocked me out like HBO’s Treme did this year. Filmed on location in New Orleans, and beginning 3 months after Katrina, the tales of hope & defeat will hit you in the heart. Here’s a cut written for the finale by Steve Earle — who also has a small, recurring role as a local musician. It’s called ‘This City’.

The finest cover performances are tributes not jokes, right? Ambitious and earnest. Lou Barlow really does love the La Roux song ‘Bulletproof’ — and it shows in this beautiful rendition.

As you’d expect from guys that first met in film school, the L.A. band Saint Motel concept & produce their own music videos. Here is my favorite cut — ’Butch’ from their 2009 EP ForPlay.
