Watch Jarvis Cocker's New Video "Further Complications"

Jarvis Cocker is in a white studio that's very very narrow in his video for "Further Complications." They have him in all kinds of different sized rooms, shapes and sizes. Good luck on the claustrophobia. 

Watch Monsters Of Folk and The Roots Jam Together On Jimmy Fallon

Even though I think it was too much talent on one stage, and The Roots were underutilized, on paper, this had the makings to be something outstanding. Monsters of Folk with The Roots performing on Jimmy Fallon. That's not to say that it was bad. At least The Roots went the subtle route rather than the other way. 

Watch below as they do "Dear God (Sincerely M.O.F.)"

Amazon Releases Their Best Albums Of 2009 List

I remember last year, people were doing their Best Of lists in July. Thankfully, that trend has stopped. Amazon has their Best Albums of 2009 list, which is fairly, solid, but with a few headscratchers, and a few that are a little too high for my taste.

Here is the Top 10, including Neko at #1, which also might be a stretch.

Get the rest here.

10 Camera Obscura - My Maudlin Career

Stream New Julian Casablancas-"I Wish It Was Christmas Today"

 
The new Julian Casablancas record is out now, and fantastic by the way. It's good to hear a new direction from the Strokes frontman.

That song that they did on SNL, "I Wish It Was Christmas Today" is now streaming on his Myspace. Enjoy.

Stream the New Spoon Track-"Mystery Zone"

The return of Spoon will happen in the next couple of months with a brand new album Transference on January 26th (U.S.), and here comes the inevitable leak called "Mystery Zone." This is actually the third track that has shown up from the forthcoming album. 

The song has a mid tempo feel with a bump-bump guitar riff that sticks throughout the track. 

Not bad. Check it out. 

Foo Fighters Promote Greatest Hits-Do "Times Like These" For Jools Holland

Dave Grohl told NME that this Greatest Hits package was something they agreed to do a long time ago, but really didn't want to do. He also remarked that they are still a functioning band, so it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Despite all of that, and the fact that he's off doing Them Crooked Vultures, he's still on a short promotional tour for the Foo Fighters. The other night they dropped by Jools Holland for "Times Like These."

Beatles Remasters Coming To A USB Drive

The wait continues with the Beatles catalog being released on iTunes, but the next best thing will be out soon. Apple Corps and EMI Music will release a limited-edition USB drive featuring the entire Beatles in Stereo remastered set in high quality mp3's on December 8th. That's a total of 14 albums and 13 mini-documentaries on the 16GB USB drive, which will be shaped like the iconic Apple logo. This is sure to be a collectors item too with only 30,000 produced. More at the Beatles Website.
