Knoxville Tennessee was the happening place to be this weekend, with the second annual Big Ears Music Festival. Truly, this was an amazing festival with an awesome lineup. My favorites include the poetic Joanna Newsom, the elegant DJ rupture, the drunken Matt Berninger (The National), the motherly Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamonds), and the stunning XX. Grayson Currin and Tim Kiernan, with Pitchfork, do a great job documenting this festival (link).
Composer Nico Muhly has a great insider review of the festival. http://nicomuhly.com/news/
