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

A few links I would never have discovered without Sirius Left of Center’s Blog Radio:

Brooklyn Vegan – St Vincent 2007 Tour Dates

Brooklyn Vegan has some St Vincent links. I just listened to all four songs on her mySpace page and the one on the Brooklyn Vegan site – Great, mellow stuff. I like her classification as a “multi-instrumentalist.” The “Now Now” song is a keeper. Her album Marry Me drops on July 10.

gorilla vs bear: The Polyphonic Spree: “Running Away” video

gorilla vs bear has the new Polyphonic Spree video for “Running Away.” This is a great song and the video is pretty fun.
