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:
LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy is working to turn data from U.S. Open tennis matches into music
Music Video: The Weeknd – King of the Fall
Will Martin Scorsese be directing a film about The Ramones?
Music Video: Zola Jesus – Dangerous Days
Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo is developing a sitcom with Fox based around his life
Music Video: Broken Bells – Control
Neil Young is reportedly divorcing his wife of 36 years
YouTube Audio Stream: QT – Hey QT
Music Video: J Mascis – Every Morning
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 Abbie Barrett and The Last Date, Lonesome Leash, Los Angeles Police Department, Soonbe, Teach Me Equals and We Are The Willows. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream cuts from Cass McCombs, Meat Puppets, Minus the Bear, School, Semi Precious, Slow Magic and Spray Paint.
