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:
YouTube Audio Stream: Autre Ne Veut + Fennesz – Alive
A kitchen table once owned by former Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis’ is up for auction
Read Annie Clark’s (St. Vincent) smart & funny “review” of the new Arcade Fire album
Watch Washed Out perform the song “Paracosm” and talk about the new album
Music Video: These New Puritans – V (Island Song)
Watch The National perform “Sea of Love” on “Later…With Jools Holland
Music Video: Destroyer – Bye Bye
YouTube Audio Stream: Andrew Bird – Pulaski at Night
Watch Arcade Fire perform Devo’s “Uncontrollable Urge” live in concert
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 Ballerina Black, The Black and White Years, BNLX, Message to Bears, The Pharmacy, Tei Shi, Van Anders and Vikesh Kapoor. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream cuts from Bombay Bicycle Club, A Lily, The National and Sonny & the Sunsets.
