You have to hand it to Spinner. Their performances are pristine, both visually and audio wise.

Interpol sounds great as they blow through four tracks-"The Heinrich Maneuver," "Mammoth," "Evil," and "Obstacle 1."

For the full performance go here, otherwise watch The Heinrich Maneuver below.

New Video Of Montreal "Suffer for Fashion"

MTV's Subterranean Blog brings us the latest Of Montreal Video, "Suffer For Fashion."

All I can tell you is there's a kid who stares into a camera, several collages, and a really bad shirt.

Jarvis Cocker Talks About Pulp/Solo Career and That Michael Jackson Brit Awards Thing

Filter-How do you feel looking back at that moment at the Brit Awards? (He rushed the stage in protest of Michael Jackson's performance. In the melee, three kids with MJ's camp were injured-Cocker was almost booked on assault charges.

Cocker: I can regret it for personal reasons, because it gave me a certain amount of celebrity that I was uncomfortable with. You have to realize that it was just as much a reaction to the event itself as it was to Michael Jackson’s performance. The Brits are the big industry deal. They were prepared to allow him to do anything and the feeling in the room when he was performing and doing all this Jesus-like healing of people was that it was in really bad taste and quite wrong. But they allowed it to happen because it made their event look good. I thought that was very hypocritical. The protest was as much at that hypocrisy as it was about what was happening on stage.

Art Brut New Video "Direct Hit"

Toga! Toga! Toga!

It's toga madness in the brand new Art Brut video for "Direct Hit."

It's not quite Animal House, and there's no underage girls at this party (I think), but seeing Eddie Argos get in people's faces with this wardrobe choice, is almost comical.

Oh, and the song is pretty strong too.

New Unbelievable British Supergroup Rumors Involving Lily Allen/Arctic Monkeys Frontman

I'm not usually one to go with rumors, but this one is so good, it's worth throwing out there.

How about a British supergroup that consists of Lily Allen, Dizzie Rascal, Alex Turner (above), who fronts Arctic Monkeys, and James Rightman, lead singer for Klaxons.

This makes complete sense, especially given the fact that Rascal has worked with both Allen and Turner.

There's no timetable for the release, although Turner, according to Soulshine says-

"It will be out before you know it."

You think this wouldn't explode all over the blogs? How incredible could this be?

A Look At The Evens

Ian MacKaye (Fugazi) and Amy Farina

"Both of us love to tour; we're quite comfortable on the road," MacKaye says. "And I can't tell you how much easier it is to tour with your partner and nobody else. Fugazi, it was the six of us, with a pretty big back line, and it was much more of a production. Amy and I are traveling in a minivan with our own P.A. [system] and our own lights. We don't play rock clubs, we don't even play with other bands, so everything is much more simple."

Variety Looks At Paul McCartney's 'Secret' Show In L.A.

Variety says-Those who got in were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime performance: a relaxed and gregarious McCartney in a setting intimate enough for him to interact with fans (including regaling one woman with a couple of lines of “Happy Birthday,” although he also had to admonish another fan with a wagged finger and a curt “shut up ... that’s so rude” when she screamed song requests over one of his many stories). He performed 11 Beatles songs, including a few that haven’t been played before such a small aud since his days at the Cavern club.

If you want to hear how good Ryan Adams can sound, check out this video from Adams and his band the Cardinals. They did the single "Two" on Letterman last night off of Easy Tiger, which came out on Tuesday.

New John Vanderslice "White Dove"

Starting out with a raucous "duh duh duh duh" riff, the new John Vanderslice track "White Dove" immediately rises with tension, as we learn of the demise of a new neighbors child, as he sits on her porch, welcoming her into the neighborhood.

His new album Emerald City on Barsuk, apparently is filled with piss and vinegar, as Vanderslice wrote the bulk of his new album, while trying to score a visa for his girlfriend- a French woman he met in Paris. She was later denied by US Immigration-that's when the gloves came off.

If the record sounds as good as this new track, it's going to be one of the better albums of the year.

Check it out.

John Vanderslice-White Dove mp3 from Emerald City due July 24th

New Ryan Adams Video "These Girls"

Spinner got a hold of some nice Ryan Adams footage at New York's Avatar Studios. It's a track off the new record, Easy Tiger called, "These Girls," normally a hell of a lot more twangier.

In this perfomance though, Adams and the Cardinals rearrange it to rock. Check it out.
