Back To The Long, Strange Trip

Soundcheck | Sep 9, 2010

Not long ago, the term "jam band" was a dirty word in the indie rock world. Now, ultra-hip bands are name-dropping Phish and sampling the Grateful Dead. Today: indie rock takes a turn for the mellow. Later: as Fashion Week gets into full-swing, we hear a live performance from model and musician Karen Elson.
