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: Panda Bear – Boys Latin
Music Video: Pond – Sitting Up On Our Crane
Watch Wild Beasts perform “Wanderlust” on a giant pipe organ
Music Video: St. Vincent – Birth in Reverse
Watch the short documentary “Road Dawgs,” about Future Islands on tour
YouTube Audio Stream: The Decemberists – The Wrong Year
YouTube Audio Stream: Modest Mouse – Lampshades on Fire
Watch Kendrick Lamar perform an untitled new song on “The Colbert Report”
Listen to St. Vincent on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast
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 Alburn, Bent Denim (covering Taylor Swift), Corbin, Hot Casandra, Monsterheart and Solidisco. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream cuts from Band of Horses & Grandaddy, Busy Living, Janna Pelle, The Julie Ruin, Phil Beaudreau and Something Anorak.
