Bon Iver And Karmin To Perform On ‘Saturday Night Live’ In February

Wed Jan 11 2012 by Becky Bain
A few weeks before they take on the Grammys, Bon Iver will be the musical guest on Saturday Night Live's February 4 episode, which will be hosted by Step Up and 21 Jump Street star Channing Tatum. The next week, retro pop-rap duo Karmin will hopefully bust out another flashy hip-hop cover on the February 11 episode, which will be hosted by Zooey Deschanel. Hey, since we were jilted out of a New Girl parody when Katy Perry stopped by SNL, how about Zooey playing Perry in a sketch? Jimmy Fallon could easily stop by to reprise his spot-on Russell Brand impression!

Sat Apr 17 2010 by Becky Bain
Greetings from the desert, folks—Idolator's out here in Indio, California, for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this weekend.

Mamma Mia, This Article On “The Decline Of The Soundtrack” Has Some Major Problems

Tue Aug 11 2009 by Maura

Today the fancypants Hollywood site The Wrap ran a lengthy piece on what author Dominic Patten saw as the demise of the soundtrack, using as evidence the weak performance of the Linkin Park-led tie-in album for Transformers 2; lousy sales for the 500 Days Of Summer soundtrack compared to Zach Braff’s Garden State juggernaut; the lack of soundtracks Bruno and Obsessed (the latter of which starred Beyoncé); and the generally crummy atmosphere for album sales this year. But despite having a bit of reportage and a few statistics sprinkled into its stew of bad news, the whole article felt kind of off to me. I asked Courtney Smith, a sometime music supervisor and writer for the music-in-movies blog The Playlist, what she thought of the piece. Our back-and-forth, after the jump. More »
