TODAY'S PICKS

DAILY TRACK: Devendra Banhart - "Sea Horse" An extended hippie jam complete with guitar noodling, flutes and a vision of being "high and happy and free." Click HERE for more.

DAILY VIDEO: Rolling Stone Breaking Artist - Santogold

DAILY REVIEW: Beirut - The Flying Club Cup In retrospect, it's obvious. Attracted though Santa Fe, New Mexico, prodigy Zach Condon may have been to the hyper-emotional voices of the Balkan Roma, he's not intense enough to share a style with Macedonian diva Esma Redzepova or Serbian outlaw Saban Bajramovic, whom he knows even if his alt-rock admirers don't. So here he moves his Beirut project west, to the tamer turf of Parisian chanson. Click HERE for more on the album.

ARTIST OF THE DAY: U2 The complete ROLLINGSTONE.COM archive includes videos, photos, interviews, reviews, and more.
