The debut album by Philly retro rockers Free Energy, Stuck on Nothing, is a fun-loving soundtrack to summertime—so they were a fitting performer at the latest installment of SPINhouse Live, our in-house concert series, which was also streamed live on SPIN.com. See three videos from the gig below!

The most striking thing about Free Energy -- besides their pitch-perfect power pop -- is that they do it all without a hint of irony. It might be tempting to rough up all those Day-Glo riffs, harmonized guitar solos and sing-along choruses with a wink and a nod -- just to let the hipsters know that there's a Pavement record under all those hooks.

Tori Amos' recent set in SPIN's NYC office was a great way to kick off a new year of our SPINhouse Live concert series, which has been running since 2005.

It was also a festive way to ring in the holiday season, as Amos played several selections from Midwinter Graces, her first ever "seasonal" album, in addition to two songs from the rest of her catalog.

It was a sight to behold. Just a couple months ago, Tori Amos could be found playing packed houses at Radio City Music Hall, and wowing audiences in London, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Rome. And yet here she was in front of a piano at SPIN's offices in Lower Manhattan playing to no more than 100 people, her legs, as always, straddling the piano bench -- a cowgirl in high heels.
