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 Arcade Fire’s album Reflektor in full
Stream Cut Copy’s new album Free Your Mind in full

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 Adrian Krygowski, The Black Watch, Fort Frances (covering Sufjan Stevens), Kallisti, Ki: Theory and TOTEM. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream tracks from Billie Joe Armstrong (of Green Day) with Norah Jones, Cut Copy, CYMBALS, Four Tet and White Lung.
