The Dave Matthews Band has been forced to postpone the second and third days of the DMB Caravan festival at Governors Island in New York City after the threat of a hurricane has pushed the governor of New York to issue a state emergency. As of now, the first day of the festival will go on today as planned. New dates for the second and third days have not been confirmed.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
