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: FKA twigs – Video Girl
YouTube Audio Stream: She & Him – Time After Time (Frank Sinatra cover)

Watch The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne tell a Halloween story on Comedy Bang! Bang!

YouTube Audio Stream: Belle & Sebastian – The Party Line
Once you’re done with that set of distractions, let me offer up another set via some song downloads and streams. Don’t miss songs from Ankathie Koi, Arandel, Cara Mitchell, Gabriel Conti, Gwyneth Moreland and The Landing. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream cuts from 1,2,3, AJ Davila y Terror Amor, Angel Olsen, Jordan Klassen (covering Haim), Tigerclub and Wedding Dress, among others.
