Product Shop NYC: Bonnaroo – Update #1: Sold Out, Thursday Reviews
Some news from the kickoff of the Bonnaroo festival. The highlight of this article for me yesterday was the link to the AT&T Blueroom live webcast from the fest. I think I had that on for about 6 or 7 hours yesterday while engaged in various projects around home. The webcast continues through the weekend.

gorilla vs bear: new marissa nadler: “mistress”
This demo version of a new Marissa Nadler (who I only heard of via this blog post) tune is pretty solid.

Brooklyn Vegan: stream SPOON’s ‘Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga’
Link to a stream of Spoon’s new album and upcoming tour dates.

Brooklyn Vegan: A Sunny Day in Glasgow – 2007 Tour Dates
The comparison to Asobi Seksu is pretty accurate. The downloadable “Best Summer Ever” tune is not your traditional pop summer song for sure.

Brooklyn Vegan: The Fratellis and Peter Bjorn & John to Roseland ++ 2007 Tour Dates
The Fratellis are playing the Pabst theatre in Milwaukee on Monday, July 30th for the ridiculously low price of $10 per ticket.
Pabst Theatre link (tickets go on sale at the Pabst on June 22)
The Pabst site says “no pre-sale”, but that’s not really true — you can pre-order tickets on the Fratellis’ website here (of course, with fees, this goes up to $14 per ticket, plus $2 for mail — still a great deal)

My Old Kentucky Blog: The Sheds: You’ve Got a Light
Three songs are available to download from this post, plus a link to their whole album on the band’s official website.

YouTube: Keren Ann – Lay Your Head Down
The video for Keren Ann’s beautiful new tune.

Brooklyn Vegan: A few more for the weekend
Two links to songs from Liars and the Shout Out Louds (who I really liked a year-ish ago when “Very Loud” was getting some routine indie rock airplay)

brooklynvegan: VIDEO: Flight of the Conchords on Letterman ++ stuff
This video clip/song is pretty funny (as long as you go in with the knowledge that these guys are about humor, not serious music). I’m looking forward to their HBO show too.

My Old Kentucky Blog: Arizona: Fameseeker and the Mono
I have never heard of this band before today. I like this song a bit though.

Product Shop NYC: Yeah Yeah Yeahs: “Is Is”, Ep & DVD drop on July 24
News on the upcoming 5-song EP from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

My Old Kentucky Blog: New Iron & Wine: Boy With a Coin
The first track from the new Iron & Wine album due out this fall

gorilla vs bear: Raise Your Ears and Hold Onto Your Heart
Apparently they make trailers for documentaries that are included in special edition CDs now. This one is for the “making of” doc to be included in the Polyphonic Spree’s new album (out next week!)

Yesterday was the first time I discovered that there were blogs associated with the Paste Magazine site! Some highlights in the articles I’ve seen thus far:
Andy Whitman’s Best Albums of the first 4.9 months of 2007
Andy Whitman: In search of the perfect playlist
Andy Whitman (one last time): 5-Star Albums of the New Millenium
Video Blog: Ryan Adams’ “Goodnight Rose”

…and in non-music news: Jeremy Happel was the first to blog about Justin Verlander’s no-hitter last night
