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: Volcano Choir – Tiderays
Help fund a documentary about the Elephant 6 Recording Co.
Watch Tyler, the Creator throw a birthday party on KTLA
Read an interview between Karen O and Julian Casablancas
Urban Outfitters is now the world’s biggest vinyl retailer
Stream Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ Gone Girl soundtrack
Watch Ty Segall perform a medley of David Bowie covers live in Chicago (on David Bowie Day)
Here are details on Pink Floyd’s forthcoming album The Endless River
Watch Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo give a TED Talk on “The Myth of the Auteur”
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 Alloise, DWNTWN (covering Vance Joy), His Name Is Alive, Jungle Doctors, Ladada and LA Font. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream cuts from Baths, Cherry Glazerr, Common, Hudson Mohawke, Loveskills (covering The Smashing Pumpkins), Raspberry Bulbs and TALA.
