Ask me who the greatest artist to come out of the past decade and I’ll tell you St. Vincent without a doubt.  She’s not only produced some of the most exciting and unique music, but you should also count her as one of the best guitar players in the game, comparable to Prince.  And to talk to?  She’s top of that game as well, which is what makes this interview so much fun.

Have you  heard the new Iggy Pop album, Post Pop Depression? Not only is it one of the best records of the year, it’s also one of his greatest albums ever, no easy feat for a guy that helped start punk rock, wrote some of the greatest songs of the 70s, and eventually found himself in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It also doesn’t hurt that the new record was produced and co-written by Josh Homme, the Queens of the Stone Age frontman with his own lifetime worth of accolades. And me? I’ve got both of them sitting down together.

When Jamie Hince lost the use of his finger for a while a few years back, it definitely put up a few question marks for how The Kills would proceed. He is a guitarist afterall. Luckily, some time was being bought thanks to Alison Mosshart’s involvement in The Dead Weather, giving Jamie some time to heal, and eventually work on what would become their new record, Ash & Ice

As the story goes, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James had been working on scoring a soundtrack when the studio fired him for being too weird. The jams wouldn’t go completely unheard though thanks to some unfortunately inspiration due to the political climate and world happenings. Still, the resulting solo album, Eternally Even, isn’t a completely dark record, thanks to an unflinching optimism in humanity that Jim carries.
