It’s Thursday (and Halloween!), 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: A$AP Rocky – Angels
Read Laurie Anderson’s obituary of her husband, Lou Reed
Music Video: MGMT – Alien Days
Watch “Little Duck,” a short film by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem
James Blake has won the 2013 Barclaycard Mercury Prize
Watch Julianna Barwick perform new song “Ash Day” with the help of some kids in Iceland
Music Video: Best Coast – I Don’t Know How
Watch Broken Bells’ short film “After the Disco,” starring Kate Mara and Anton Yelchin
Music Video: Savages – Marshall Dear
Once you’re done with that set of distractions, let me offer up another set via some spooooky song downloads and streams. Don’t miss tracks from The Appleseed Collective, The Fratellis, Killing Fields of Ontario, My Darling Fury, perth and Stanton Warriors. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream cuts from Grizzly Bear, Katy B, LIZ, Magic Trick, Mutual Benefit and Painted Palms.
