We’ve discovered that you can apply lyrics from Beatles tunes to just about any situation, and we think we’ve found the perfect one for the current economic and political climate: “Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!…”

And so does music.

Artists with new music out (and acts you should meet) on the schedule this week include Joshua Radin, The Virgins, Jazmine Sullivan, Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip, Demi Lovato, Darius Rucker, Nikka Costa, Justin Tranter (Semi Precious Weapons), Ben Folds, Cut Copy, Jennifer Hudson, Robin Thicke and Amy Macdonald.
