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: Foxygen – How Can You Really

Watch Arcade Fire cover Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Hey Tonight” live in concert

Once you’re done with that set of distractions, let me offer up another set via some song downloads and streams.
