The great thing about being the building with a TV station is that we know when cool stuff is going to air.  Season 4 of Live From The Artists Den starts in February!  From their about page:

“The Artists Den presents extraordinary artists in extraordinary settings. Since its launch on U.S. public television in 2009, “Live from the Artists Den” has become a three-time NY Emmy-nominated series and has expanded to air across the globe.

Previous artists include Ben Harper, Regina Spektor, Ringo Starr, Ani DiFranco, Raphael Saadiq, Aimee Mann, David Gray, Corinne Bailey Rae, The Black Crowes, Alanis Morissette, Tori Amos, and Elvis Costello.

Past Artists Den venues include the first art museum in America, a Masonic temple, a former Archdiocese cathedral, a 1930s silent movie theater, the worlds oldest merchant sailing vessel, The New York Public Library, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In 2012 Artists Den Entertainment will launch the fourth season of its television series “Live from the Artists Den.” Supporting our belief that great music deserves a great audience, the series allows an unlimited number of guests admittance to our intimate, once-in-a-lifetime shows.”

Check out other interesting covers at The A.V. Club

Iron and Wine - “Tree By The River”

This song, from Iron and Wine’s latest Kiss Each Other Clean, takes Sam Beam’s signature gentle vocals and places them atop a throwback sound — a little doo-wop and hints of Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound. By evolving his sound throughout his four records, Beam has created a tradition of experimentation, but based around simple songs, harmonies, and themes of the Gothic South and childhood memory. With this latest offering, the Dripping Springs resident expands on his sound, throwing in bits of Fela Kuti, soul, and seventies Krautrock, all wrapped up in a sound that continues to entertain and surprise. Read Amanda Petrusich’s great article on Beam here. 

Calexico - “Alone Again Or”

This cover of the classic Love song gives it the signature Calexico treatment - taking listeners on a trip through the American Southwest. Though they impose their sound on this 60’s psychedelic rock tune rom their EP Convict Pool, it keeps the spirit of the Arthur Lee-penned original. Also worth checking out is In The Reins, Calexico’s collaboration with Sam Beam of Iron & Wine.
