Two Laura Marling numbers from Tuesday evening's live broadcast of Later with Jools Holland.

And a great tune by recent Sub Pop signings Still Corners.

Just stumbled upon this magnificent solo track from Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij. Very Darjeeling Limited.

Another where that came from...

And another performance from the same broadcast, which I'm posting partly as a curiosity and partly because I quite liked it. File under 'really shouldn't work but kinda does'.

^Interesting

Watching The Polyphonic Spree do that song live is one of the most euphoric experiences I've ever had

Another impressive line-up on this week's Jools show. Especially love the brass section on the opening Feist number.

Especially for Mr. Pierre...

And especially for Mr. Matt...

^(Y)

Anyone fussed about the Stone Roses' impending comeback? Though I've always been something of a reunion sceptic, I'm actually quite happy about this one - the idea of them getting back together just for a few big gigs didn't really appeal because Ian's voice is pretty awful live - but since they're promising new material, my interest is officially piqued.

How come none of you female musician lovers posted anything about the new St. Vincent album? I really like it! I might see them/her in a couple weeks as well.

I cant wait for the new Florence & the Machine Album! "Shake it out" is a very solid single I think. Love her.

So what do you guys think of Lana del Rey?

I love her song "Video Games" but after learning a little bit more about her past and this whole Lizzy Grant thing / the surgery I just really hate that she had to do all this just to get famous.

Neverthless - her voice is still the same.

I guess we've all heard the rumblings about her surgeries, her authenticity and whatnot. Still, the music is the only thing I really concern myself with and judging by what little I've heard so far (i.e. that one song) it's really rather good. But how exactly does one go about whistling someone's name?

Another new Best Coast tune, which may or may not feature Johnny Marr.

New tune from the Black Keys, and the latest to follow in the time-honoured tradition of 'crap dancing' videos.

Wow, just read about the whole Lizzy Grant thing. Oh well, if you like the music who cares.

In other news M83 have released the best double album I've heard in years. Also the song of the year in my opinion

Victoria's Secret has it in one of their commercials now

^I once saw M83 support Kings of Leon and found them most impressive - wasn't familiar with any of the recent stuff though. Must investigate further!
