BEAT COMMUNICATION

I've got to make this the last post for the week. Don't forget, Radio 4 and the Libertines are at Fineline Friday night.

Everyone loves Swedish bands, right? Check out The Legends' new single, "Call It Ours" (mp3) (windows media video) (real broadband) (real 56k) [thanks Chip at Cornerstone].

Sasha Frefe-Jones at The New Yorker examines Kanye West's "Jesus Walks". I didn't know that Kanye is "developing a retail line of gold-and-diamond Jesus pendants." Fun stuff.

BRMC's new album is taking a new direction; some songs sound like early Dylan, some are more layered than the previous record. The band has lucked out after leaving Virgin, and now is deciding between several interested labels. Why is Billboard so intent on reporting on BRMC?

The Black Keys beat up the elderly in their new video for "10 a.m. Automatic" (56k) (Broadband).
