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:
Watch Win Butler of Arcade Fire perform “Reflektor” with a mariachi band
Music Video: A$AP Rocky – Phoenix
Watch Darkside perform a 36-minute set for Boiler Room
Music Video: David Bowie – Love Is Lost (James Murphy Remix) [NSFW]

Music Video: Shearwater – I Luv the Valley OH! (Xiu Xiu cover)
Music Video: Phoenix – Chloroform

Music Video: Lily Allen – Hard Out Here
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 Elim Bolt, Howe Gelb, Long Long Showers, Shy Boys, Smile and Tough Age.
