Hooray Friday!

- Band of Horses played the Accelerator Festival this week in Stockholm and let loose on an unreleased song. Check out the video at P-fork.

- All reports from Bonnaroo are that MMJ killed with a 3+ hour set. I've been back and forth on seeing them when they swing through DC for their "An Evening with..." tour and I think this sealed the deal for me. Have a listen for yourself at You Ain't No Picasso.

- If you're looking for some new music to check out, head over to Sixeyes who has the list of nominees for the Polaris Music Prize which is given to the best Canadian album released in the last year.

- Not sure if I've already posted this, but Radiohead's April concert at the BBC Radio Theatre is available for download on Sixeyes.

- And the trifecta for Sixeyes! Some Shins live tracks from a concert last year are up and available for your listening/downloading pleasure.

- Spoon recorded a Daytrotter session which includes a cover of Paul Simon's "Peace Like a River" and three other songs.

- The Editors cover Calvin Harris' "Acceptable in the 80s". Thanks to Lets Sexy Fighting for the love.

- More covers from Lets Sexy Fighting. Grizzly Bear takes a crack at "Owner of a Lonely Heart" - can't wait to hear to this one.

- Take a listen to Blitz Trappen's title track off of their upcoming release Furr, due out in September. Thanks to You Ain't No Picasso.

- Another Peel Session from Aquarium Drunkard, this one courtesy of Fugazi from 1988.

- Aaaand the first of the 1/2 year lists are out.

Hooray Friday!

- Scarlett Johansson is incredibly hot. That's a fact. Tom Waits songs are quality stuff. Another fact. I'm not sure that the two smashed together will be so good though. I guess we'll find out on May 6th, when her album of Tom Waits covers is released.

- Check out the interesting piece on mtv.com about the Brooklyn music scene with comments from Yeasayer, Grizzly Bear and more.

- Did you miss Radiohead's gig on radiohead.tv Wednesday night? If so, NME has the videos posted.

- Butter Team discusses the Walkmen's new album with frontman, Hamilton Leithauser and posted some tracks from it as well.

- Coachella may be putting together a festival for the east coast to enjoy this year. Possibly NY or NJ in August as reported by Perezhilton.com... my fingers won't let me link that trashy site, so I'll link the release on NME.
