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:
Stream two new Franz Ferdinand songs, “Love Illumination” and “Right Action”
Music Video: Smith Westerns – Idol
Watch the trailer for Morrissey’s upcoming concert film
Music Video: M.I.A. – Bring the Noize (Gold Edition)
Watch Soko’s short film Monster Love feat. Ariel Pink
Download the Run the Jewels (Killer Mike + El-P) self-titled debut album in exchange for your email
YouTube Audio Stream: Zola Jesus – Avalanche (Slow)
Music Video: The Weeknd – Kiss Land (NSFW)
Stream the new Blondes record Swisher in full
YouTube Audio Stream: Willis Earl Beal – Everything unwinds.
Once you’re done with those distractions, there’s a whole bunch of mp3 downloads for you to enjoy and distract you further should you like. In the set today, I’m pleased to recommend tracks from The Anatomy of Frank, The Blank Tapes, Dawn of Midi, Fur Trade, Moska and The Petticoat Tearoom. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream new stuff from The Dodos, Fort Romeau, Glasvegas, Metz and Twin Lakes.
