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: Kevin Drew – Mexican Aftershow Party
Watch Arcade Fire cover Blondie’s “Heart of Glass” live in Houston
The Smashing Pumpkins will reissue Adore with 3 discs of unreleased music plus a live DVD
Music Video: Lykke Li – No Rest for the Wicked
Watch Real Estate perform “Talking Backwards” on Letterman
Watch St. Vincent cover Nirvana’s “Lithium” live in Chicago

Music Video: Queens of the Stone Age – Smooth Sailing
YouTube Audio Stream: tUnE-yArDs – Wait for a Minute
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 Cajita, Francobollo, Gidge, The Hudson Branch, Owls of the Swamp and Yalls.
