CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) - Paul Tanner, a trombonist with the Glenn Miller Orchestra who later played a space-age instrument on the Beach Boys hit "Good Vibrations," has died at 95.

His stepson, Douglas Darnell, of Youngstown, Ohio, says Tanner died of pneumonia Tuesday morning at an assisted living center in Carlsbad, Calif.

In 2011, some humourless journalist misinterpreted a quip by Bad Religion singer Greg Graffin, and reported that the band's newly released record, True North, would be its last. The news was retweeted, reposted, and regurgitated all over the Internet.

But when the band took the stage for an intimate show at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern recently, Bad Religion looked nothing like a band that was ready to pull the plug.

Leaning heavily on tracks from True North, its recently released 16th studio album, the So-Cal punks legends delivered a fierce set of up-tempo and hook-heavy punk rock for lucky contest winners and their plus ones.

Black Prairie is less a side project and more an exercise in compartmentalization. Multi-instrumentalist Chris Funk got antsy in between tours with the Decemberists and figured it was high time he took up the dobro. (For the uninitiated, the dobro looks a like an acoustic guitar with a steel belly, and sounds more or less the same.)

Funk recruited two of his Decemberists bandmates, bassist Nate Query and accordion player Jenny Conlee, and two Portland musicians, violinist-vocalist Annalisa Tornfelt and guitarist Jon Neufeld. The resulting two albums of bluegrass-inspired genius -- 2010's Feast of the Hunter's Moon and their latest, A Tear in the Eyes Is a Wound in the Heart -- prove once and for all that how the rest of us laze away our downtime is downright disgraceful.

And now you can watch Black Prairie's take on field recording in this exclusive video for the totally real blog Up in the Branches. While several bands have created some musical magic out in the open air for some other blogs, things don't go quite as well for the quintet.

A new Las Vegas nightclub called LIGHT will provide an interesting new musical/theatrical collaboration when it opens in the Mandalay Bay hotel this spring; the club will pair several of EDM's biggest artists with performance troupe Cirque du Soleil.

Skrillex, Swedish House Mafia member Sebastian Ingrosso, Zedd and newcomer Baauer have all signed residency deals with the club, and in a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the artists appeared cautiously optimistic about the collaboration.

"It's not about having acrobats for my set," Skrillex explains. "For me, personally, the objective is to have something based around your music and something you want to dance to, not something you want to stare at the whole time. But how do you make the environment completely immersive? I think that's the goal for my show, at least."

Video: 'Keep In Touch'
Highlight: "The video was inspired by an article in Italian that my friend Wendy Morgan sent me about a young man with cerebral palsy and his relationship with his mom and a prostitute,"  Sam Spiegel tells Spinner. "The story felt closely related to 'Keep in Touch' in the sense of yearning for intimacy without the ability to express it with touch. After formulating the idea, I reached out to my cousin Chris Neil to co-direct the video with me because he is f---ing awesome and so well versed in film, and I wanted it to feel like a short film more than a video. Shooting this film was a great experience in getting to know Javier (our lead actor who has cerebral palsy) and his family who are amazing (Javier has 62 adopted brothers all with disabilities as well). I hope we were able to show some of the beautiful as well as lonely moments of living with CP."
