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: OFF! – Meet Your God (ft. Jack Black)
Listen to two new Wild Beasts songs via a “GIF Novel” by whiskey maker Jameson
Music Video: Death Grips – Inanimate Sensation
Watch Pharmakon’s 16 minute short film “Bestial Burden”
Music Video: Belle & Sebastian – Nobody’s Empire
Stream a clip of an unreleased Lorde song “Lost Boys”
Music Video: Twin Shadow – Turn Me Up
Jack White has launched a “Third-D” virtual reality app
Music Video: Perfume Genius – Fool
Once you’re done with that set of distractions, let me offer up another set via some song downloads and streams. Don’t miss songs from Basic Shapes, The Blank Tapes, HAWK, Katie Buchanan, Maps and Steel Trees. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream cuts from Dick Diver, Genevieve, Girlpool, I’m Not A Band, Lydia Ainsworth (covering Chris Isaak), QUARTERBACKS and Shlohmo.
