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:
Watch a trailer for Kanye West’s forthcoming Yeezus concert film
Music Video: Damon Albarn – Lonely Press Play
Watch a trailer for Lykke Li’s forthcoming album I Never Learn
Watch Sky Ferreira perform “You’re Not the One” on “Kimmel”
Watch David Byrne perform a cover of Biz Markie’s “Just A Friend”
Watch Haim cover Beyonce’s “XO” live for BBC Radio 1
Music Video: Coldplay – Midnight
Once you’re done with that set of distractions, let me offer up another set via some song downloads and streams. Don’t miss tracks from Cajita, Federal Lights, Mise En Scene, Monster Rally, The Noise FM, Royal Canoe and Saint Pepsi’s Tei Shi remix. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream cuts from Evian Christ, Four Tet and Terror Danjah, Frameworks, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Pia Mia (ft. Chance the Rapper), Screaming Females and Sky Ferreira.
