It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another weekly dip into the pool of music news, interviews and videos that I like to call This Week In Music! Yes, in addition to the normal Pick Your Poison mp3s and Soundcloud streams, I like to toss out links to a bunch of other music-related content that I’ve found interesting or worthwhile over the course of the week. I encourage you to check some, if not all of these things out, particularly if you’re looking to waste some time. There’s plenty to see, read and hear:
Music Video: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Higgs Boson Blues
Watch a short documentary about Daft Punk’s helmets
Watch 77 minutes of Nine Inch Nails performing live at the Staples Center in L.A. from Nov. 8, 2013

Watch Lana Del Rey’s 27-minute short film “Tropico”
Music Video: Speedy Ortiz – No Below
Music Video: Angel Olsen – Forgiven/Forgotten

Cashe, Hillary Barleaux, Milagres, PT Walkley, Ryan VanDordrecht, Tim Mahoney and Vance Joy. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream cuts from Beat Culture (ft.
