PETER GABRIEL
Peter Gabriel has long been a monster in the music biz, immortalizing himself with hits like "Solsbury Hill," "Sledgehammer," and "In Your Eyes". It's the former Genesis lead singer's place in the classic rock canon that makes his most recent album so surprising: a cover album. And among the classic rock hits he reinvents (Bowie, The Kinks, Paul Simon, Lou Reed, Neil Young), Gabriel also pays homage to the present indie scene. The list includes Bon Iver, Regina Spektor, The Magnetic Fields, and Arcade Fire. There's also some Radiohead in there, too - something I never thought I'd hear from Mr. Gabriel.

The boys from England seem to be extremely busy these days, Thom Yorke recently announced on the band's blog Dead Air Space that he will performing a "low key solo thing at the Cambridge Corn Exchange on the 25th of Feb." Mr. Yorke explained the significance of this intimate concert, "It's because a friend of mine Tony Juniper (who used to be head of Friends of the Earth and who I went to the Copenhagen Summit with) is hoping to become one of the first Green Members of Parliament in the UK. And I wanted to help him out somehow."
