This week is crazy. That new Family Guy was freakin' amazing. I swear I have some cool stuff coming up, some new bands and events and shit. Stay tuned.
Watch LCD Soundsystem perform "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House" on Letterman.
Download "Twin Cinema" from the forthcoming New Pornographers LP.
Spoon in comic form: "The Two Sides Of Monsieur Valentine". Interview with Spoon at Popmatters.
New material coming from the Secret Machines.
Stereogum posts Chuck Klosterman's list of "21 High-Quality Albums From The Past Three Years". I don't think I get some of his explanations.
White Stripes single details.
Chicago garage rockers The Ponys release their second LP, Celebration Castle, produced by Steve Albini, today. Download "Glass Conversation" from their site [once it gets back up]. Pitchfork review here.
The Hold Steady's second LP, Separation Sunday, is also out today. There are two articles on them in the Village Voice.
Enon and Thunderbirds Are Now! are on tour.
A bunch of reviews of Kompakt releases at Pitchfork.
Two interesting remixes at The Big Ticket today - a Diplo remix of "Maps" and a Soulwax mash-up of their "Daft Punk..." remix and something else.
Reunited Cream show.
Coachella review in NY Times.
Albert Hammond, Jr., of the Strokes, was a child rollerskating prodigy.
The Raveonettes' Pretty In Black is yet another sophomore album out today. I've only given it cursory listens, but so far I really, really don't like it. That might be because I love their huge, bombastic tracks the best.
Good article on Annie in the Times.
Times' guide to festivals. Nine Inch Nails and Eels make the Times' Critic's Choice. Steve Jones has a playlist. A ton of good bands in last week's Rock/Pop listings.
