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:
Music Video: Sisyphus – Take Me
YouTube Audio Stream: Parquet Courts – Black and White
Music Video: The Black Keys – Fever
Watch Girl Talk answer questions from teen girls as part of Rookie’s “Ask A Grown Man” series
Watch a teaser for Heaven Adores You, a documentary about Elliott Smith
Watch Arcade Fire perform Reflektor outtake “Get Right” live in concert
YouTube Audio Stream: Coldplay – A Sky Full of Stars (ft. Avicii)
Watch the trailer for The Past is a Grotesque Animal, a documentary about of Montreal
Watch Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen perform Gene Clark’s “No Other” at a tribute show
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 Be Calm Honcho, Bipolar Sunshine (covering Lorde), Gold Spectacles, Skaters (covering The Smiths) and So Many Animal Calls. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream cuts from Basement Jaxx, Christopher Owens, Jon Hopkins, Stagnant Pools and Wildest Dreams.
