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 Veruca Salt perform “Seether” together on stage for the first time since 1996
Read a conversation between Lorde and Conor Oberst in The New York Times
Watch The Both (Ted Leo + Aimee Mann) perform a TV theme song medley
Music Video: The Knife – Without You My Life Would Be Boring
Watch Slowdive perform “When the Sun Hits” at their first show in 20 years
Music Video: Mutual Benefit – “Let’s Play” / Statue of a Man
Watch a Michael Jackson hologram performance of “Slave to the Rhythm”
Music Video: Royksopp & Robyn – Sayit
Watch St. Vincent perform “Digital Witness” on Saturday Night Live
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 Circulatory System, Magicicada, Megan Bonnell, Owls of the Swamp and Unicycle Loves You. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream cuts from Big Deal, Eternal Death, Parquet Courts, Taylor McFerrin, and Zeds Dead & Twin Shadow, among others.
