Tennessee's Bonnaroo Festival is obviously a big deal, and its organizers are probably better at scoring the biggest names than any other festival organizers in these United States. Last year, for instance, they landed Metallica and Kanye West and Pearl Jam among the usual hordes of jam-bands and indie types. But this year they've outdone thems...

The stream-a-day MySpace rollout of the Dessner brothers' Dark Was The Night charity compilation gets a bump today with a trio of tracks, courtesy of a cute little widget player and a smattering of heavy hitting contributors. There's the Decemberists' eight-minute cure for insomnia ironically titled "Sleepless," for starters, but after you get d...
