New music, new videos, goofy contests…let’s get this week started.
Spoon decided to hit the ground running as they kicked off their week. They released a great (almost) one-shot video for “Do You”, which sees Britt Daniel slowly driving away from what seems to be the wreckage of the night before, until a surprising reveal at the end. They also released a new song, “Inside Out”, which while not a full-fledged video, does include some trippy visuals. And the band did a live chat with fans over at Consequence of Sound this afternoon, and you can find the complete transcript here.
Hamilton Leithauser stopped by NPR today and performed one of their Tiny Desk Concerts, which you can catch right here on the NPR website.
The recent death of Tommy Ramone means that there are no surviving members of the original group. While this is a bummer, the folks at Funny or Die decided to look on the bright side of the situation, and imagine what the reunion in heaven would be like. And it’s always good to see Dave Foley.
After that, you should probably go yell at The AV Club for saying unkind words about Next’s classic “Too Close”. Yes, it’s about a boner, but it’s the best song about dancing with a boner ever.
BBC Radio 2 is having a poll to determine the greatest guitar riff of all time, and though those of us in the States are unable to vote, we can at least take a look at the possible selections. Honestly, there are some pretty good choices on the list.
And finally, the Soundgarden/Nine Inch Nails joint tour kicked off this weekend in Vegas, and Rolling Stone has a rave review of the show. I’m definitely excited to see these guys soon.
