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:
Weezer has announced a new album via a cryptic video
Amazon will be launching Prime Music streaming service
Watch Janelle Monae cover David Bowie’s “Heroes” on Letterman
Music Video: JJ – All White Everything
Watch SNL’s Vanessa Bayer give Drake some “Sound Advice”

Watch the “unofficial” music video for Spoon’s new single “Rent I Pay”
