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:
YouTube Audio Stream: EMA – 3Jane

Music Video: Sisyphus – Booty Call

Read Owen Pallett’s essay on Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” and music theory
Music Video: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Simple and Sure
YouTube Audio Stream: The Black Keys – Fever
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 Blank Realm, Daisy Victoria, Malandros, Pacific Mean Time, Say Hi and The Wet Secrets. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream cuts from Blood Brothers, Chance the Rapper, Hot Chip, Lolawolf, Popstrangers, VEDAS and Woods.
