MLK Day

While most people had off from work for Martin Luther King Day, I was floating around the Internet finding some cool things. Here they are for you to enjoy.

-STEREOGUM finds a video that is even funnier now than I thought it was in 1994.




-I found a recording of the Guillemots covering Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand. If you are a fan of either band you should check it out for sure. Give it til 1:15 to kick in.

The Guillemots have another single coming out Annie, Lets not wait. I'm not too sure what I think of it, but if you like pop so sugary that your teeth may fall out then check it out.

///[MP3] Guillemots-Annie, Lets Not Wait


///[MP3] Guillemots-Take Me Out(Franz Ferdinand Cover)



-The other day I read about V2 records cutting 35 jobs and dropping its artists. That means bands like The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Moby, Blood Brothers, Whirlwind Heat, Burning Brides, The Greenhornes, and many others are free agents looking for a label. Could this mean Third Man will be getting a bit larger? Does Third Man Records still exist? Will Jack start a new label? I'm not sure, I guess we'll see. I do know that it would be pretty cool to see Jack White develop a roster of some pretty rockin bands.

Pearl Jam-Love Reign O'er Me

One side of this years Pearl Jam Ten Club single will be a cover of The Who's, Love Reign O'er Me. I know its been posted already over at I AM FUEL, WE ARE FRIENDS and Metro Distortion and probably a ton of other places but I'm gonna go ahead and do it again.

The song will end up being in the new Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle Movie, Love Reign Over Me. So look out for that, the preview looks pretty decent.

Arcade Fire-Black Mirror

I know this has been posted just about everywhere in the last few days, but if you haven't seen this yet, then you'll be happy to see it.

Arcade Fire have a new album, Neon Bible, coming out March 6th. They've got some big shoes to fill after the success of Funeral, so we'll see how that goes.

They've begun a pretty unique promomotion for the album that included a 1-888 number you could call to hear one of the songs, Intervention. Now they've released this insane video


JUNO Award Winning Guitarist-Richard Reed-Perry





Black Mirror appears to the first single, but you can hear Intervention and Black Wave/Bad Vibrations else where on the interwebs.

Kings of Leon-Because of the Times

Looks like we're one step closer to a 3rd Kings of Leon studio album, and according to Jenny on Sirius' Left of Center, advance copies have been given out. So that means the album is recorded and on its way! She also called it 'Brilliant", but you can be the judge of that. March can't come soon enough.


Check out some live recordings of some of the new songs. [via O-Dusty]

Linus Lowery-What's Up

[listen to:]

HI

I haven't been around a lot this week, so this is like one big update.

-I know that I rip on Jet, but who doesn't nowadays. That's what you get when you try to pawn off classic rock cover songs as your own, TAKE THAT! First Pitchfork, now real reporters.

-Google buys YouTube for $1.5 Billion

YouTube really lets people get their creativity out there. Online Video and digital music sites like MySpace[MUSIC], Napster-types, P2P, and blogs really help to spread the word about good music. Creativity is running wild and now it has the channels to hit the consumer. Its weird but the Internet is to present day rap and rock like the 'Underground' was the movement in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. Right? or not.

-Beck's new album was barred from the UK Charts because of the DVD and stickers included.
He actually made crazy lo-fi videos for all of the songs on the new album.

Beck-Nausea (Puppets Version)

-1000 BPM
-This Girl, 1000 BPM, No Complaints, Movie Theme (clips)

The Raconteurs-Broken Boy Soldiers



The Raconteurs-Hands (recorded at a school for Deaf Girls)


-STEREOGUM has a great little article on the state of terrestrial radio
-Tenacious D gets ready to hit the road
-Iggy and The Stooges record first album since 1973
-Pete Townshend and Eddie Vedder gonna Jam it Out
-Modest Mouse tour and album details
-Ten White Stripes songs have been arranged by an orchestra and will be released as "Aluminium"


I don't know if you've heard this one yet, but I think its off the upcoming Incubus album.
