“Lord Huron’s music is somehow able to combine the desert aesthetic of the American West, with the wide-open forever feeling of standing on the shores of Michigan’s Great Lakes.”
This high-speed video shows a liquid crystal fluid vibrating on a tuning fork. As the surface moves, tiny jets shoot upward, sometimes with sufficient energy that the fluid column is stretched beyond surface tension’s ability to keep it intact, resulting in droplet ejection. The jets and surface waves create a mesmerizing pattern of fluid motion. (Video credit: J. Savage)
Science and stuff.
Being at SXSW is getting us so excited for the Folk Festival this summer. And we can’t wait for Beth Orton to cross the pond to be there with us! Please welcome her to our 2013 lineup.
Can’t think of a better way to kick off SXSW week than by announcing that Austin’s own Wheeler Brothers are joining our 2013 lineup.
All my friends got crooked tales. That’s the way I like it, that’s the company I keep.

“Langhorne Slim. Where to begin. The epitome of extraordinary. The king of cool. A true entertainer.”
“Tift has an uncommonly infectious spirit and deep soul. When I play music with her she lifts me up and reminds me to be present. Tift also reminds us that folk music isn’t about acoustic guitars and fiddles (though those happen to be at arm’s reach). It’s about connecting with your fellow human. This is why I’m happy to introduce Tift Merritt to the 2013 Newport Folk Line-up.”
