Song Premiere: 
Best Coast Performs Fleetwood Mac's 'Rhiannon'

Best Coast covers Fleetwood Mac's 1975 smash "Rhiannon" on a forthcoming tribute album — a task which clearly requires quite a bit of reverence, to the point where singer Bethany Cosentino even channels Stevie Nicks' warbling rasp. And, while the song's familiar guitar line is replaced with a dramatically simplified piano melody, the result captures the melancholic yearning of "Rhiannon" — its mystical side, its understanding of unattainable love — without losing the beach-bound giddiness of Best Coast's simple, shiny sound.

Mick Fleetwood to Skype to his Maui Restaurant while on Fleetwood Mac Tour

"News has it that Fleetwood Mac will be touring in 2013! Mick will still be at the restaurant often. How? We've set up a two way, multi-screen, high definition live camera system that will bring Mick right into our bar in real time. You talk with him while he's backstage at a concert venue and he talks with you in real time. Just tried the connections and this is way cool. Skype on steriods!"

Photos: Stevie Nicks Sighting... Leaving JFK Airport in NYC June 15th

Stevie Nicks was snapped at JFK Airport on June 15, 2012 hightailing it out of New York City.  This is the day after the Songwriters Hall of Fame Ceremony. Not sure where she was headed... Possibly back to California.  At this point it's still 2 weeks before the opening night of her tour at Jones Beach June 29th. Still plenty of time for her to head home, relax and grab her ribbons and bows and head back to the east coast.
