News: Planes Mistaken For Stars Re-Release and Summer Tour
Last month, Deathwish, Inc. along with Brann Dailor, drummer of Mastodon, released a rather ominous and vague video that provided little insight other than the fact that it was regarding legendary early post-hardcore band, Planes Mistaken for Stars. There were rumors of a new project featuring members of the band, but nobody was really certain what was going on. Until today, that is.

News: John Mayer Covers “American Pie” on Letterman
Earlier this week, John Mayer covered the iconic song, “American Pie”, for the Late Show with Dave Letterman, and quite frankly, he did a fantastic job with it. It’s been a long while since we’ve heard any new music from John Mayer, and while it is apparently on the way, we still have to wait a bit longer. So in the meantime, this will have to hold us over, but I think it’ll do the job just fine. This is a monumental song from any aspect, it is a hugely significant piece of music to Americana in general, and Mayer really does it justice.
Check out the video of the performance after the jump.
