- BWE’s own Nick Kroll guest hosts the public radio show Fair Game, discussing everything from international prescription drugs to Google Satellite culture to the veins on Dustin Diamond’s enormous schlong. Wait, that last topic actually might have been Best Week Ever, I can’t remember.
- The Avett Brothers dress in 19th century garb and play monumentally uplifting banjo music, but I’m just not sure I can keep listening to them unless another Coen Brothers movie comes out to make bluegrass trendy again. (Nine Bullets)
- Art Brut’s second album isn’t completely dominating my iPod the way their first one did, but they still put pretty much every other indie band to shame in the “actually having a point to their songs” department. What an insulting concept. (Song, By Toad)
- Ever wonder who did the female vocals on Peter Bjorn & John’s indie hit “Young Folks”? Why, it’s Victoria Bergsman, whose new project Taken By Trees has an mp3 available at The Sky Was Candy. The search for the whistling dude’s solo project, however, goes on.
- Finally, The Punk Guy wraps up the ABCs of Live Music by zooming through V-Z, although he doesn’t include “YYZ” by Rush, the theme song to the X-Men cartoon, or a video of zebras somehow playing instruments.
