The Black Crowes on Letterman

"Good Morning Captain" from their just released Before the Frost...Until the Freeze. My job would be a lot cooler if I could show up to work wearing Chris Robinson's getup.

More new music

First things first - even if you're not a big fan of the Black Crowes, LISTEN TO THEIR NEW TRACK! Fucking dynamite... for rizz.

Not quite sure how I missed the first single from the Flaming Lips' upcoming Embryonic (Oct 13th), "Silver Trembling Hands." Now there's a second listen out that's wacky and wild... even for the Lips. Check out "See the Leaves" courtesy of P-fork.

Jack White's got to get a hobby or something because this mofo is cranking out music like no one's business. This time it's him solo in "Fly Farm Blues" out now. Thanks to Stereogum.

And another diddy from Radiohead - "These Are My Twisted Words." It's all over the web, but I saw it first on Ultra 8201.

Hooray Friday!

- The All Points West Festival lineup has been announced with Radiohead playing on Friday AND Saturday. Ah Jersey City, NJ… a beautiful area of the world. And let's not forget the fact that Jack Johnson has managed to score the trifecta in festival headlines this summer. Good on ya, Jack.

- I am fuel has a handful of Eddie Vedder/Bruce Springsteen collaborations posted for your listening pleasure.

- Same blog, different topic. This week’s music roundup had a new track from the Mountain Goats, a live one from Spoon, a White Stripes/Beck diddy and a Daft Punk cover.

- Apparently Maxim magazine reviewed the Black Crowes' upcoming album, Warpaint, without even hearing it. This reminds me of when I was in college and tried to write term papers without doing any research. Unlike Maxim though, I was never called on it (thankfully). Thanks to Product Shop NYC for the K.

- For those of you who have yet to discover Cloud Cult, you are missing out. The Meaning of 8 was a highlight of 2007 for me and they are following it up with the release of Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes) in April. MFKWCRG has a track from the album, "When Water Comes to Life", which does not disappoint.

- Rihanna and the Klaxons got together at the 2008 Brit Awards and made a little "Umbrella" and "Golden Skans" love. The Music Slut provides the links.

Hooray Friday!

- Interesting Beck interview from the late-90s on An Aquarium Drunkard. I go back and forth on Beck's music, but I've come to the conclusion that I really need to be in the mood to listen to his stuff. If I'm not, he annoys the shit out of me.

- Trent Reznor... some of the stuff that comes out of his mouth is clearly douche-esque. But he actually put out a sensible, well thought-out and most importantly, understandable post on his website about the music industry today. Thanks to Metro D for the K.

- Belle and Sebastian covered Dinosaur Jr.'s "Freak Scene" and You Ain't No Picaso provides the link as well as a video of their Van Halen "Jump" cover.

- I am fuel continues her Pearl Jam obsession with demos from Eddie Vedder's Into the Wild soundtrack.

- A double-shot from I am fuel. The Black Crowes new album Warpaint is out March 4th - their first single, "Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution" is out now.

- The first round of confirmations for this year's Coachella are out now and Ultra 8201 is on the case.

- Daytrotter has a 4-song live set from Rogue Wave with an unreleased track. Good stuff!
