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:
Read Grimes’ essay on making music and being a boss
Watch Damon Albarn perform his song “Everyday Robots” for some androids
Music Video: Ty Segall – The Singer
Alice Glass has announced she’s leaving Crystal Castles
Skip to 22:25 to hear The War on Drugs perform a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Tangled Up in Blue”
Check out the trailer for “Everything Will Change,” a documentary about The Postal Service reunion
YouTube Audio Stream: Charli XCX – London Queen
YouTube Audio Stream: TV on the Radio – Careful You
Music Video: Caribou – Our Love
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 Alex Weston, Bad Cop, Danny L Harle, The Dead Ships, Glyphs and Sunbears!. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream cuts from Dream Police, Girlpool, Line & Circle and Tei Shi, along with tracks from Ben Frost, Hundred Waters and Say Lou Lou getting the remix treatment.
