...being a late bloomer when it came to Pink Floyd. "I ignored them completely at first," he says. "When Dark Side of the Moon came out, a friend of mine, a photographer, came over with the record and said, 'Please, listen to this. There's a play in this album.' I put it on top of this big wooden filing cabinet, and it stayed there for a year...
...limited success. Juanes, who has recorded only in Spanish, has achieved the international acclaim that these Latin American artists strove for. Non-Spanish speakers have enjoyed Juanes’s music—no translation necessary. “La Vida...Es Un Ratico,” his first album in three years, happily proves no different.

...reliable frontman and primary songwriter A.C. Newman (and his niece!) brave the oozing to provide lilting piano, acoustic guitar, and backing harmonies, all while standing robotically. It’s really quite impressive. This is the first time Neko has appeared in a New Pornographers video since their first album (Newman has even said they sometimes forget she’s a part of the band), so it’s nice to see her return to the spotlight. Though mellower fare than their usual power-pop, the song is gorgeous, which compensates for the video’s slightly...
