Music Links of the Day

Here are some cool music related links that I found today:

The Arcade Fire were recently on the Morning Becomes Ecletic show in Santa Monica, CA. You can find the whole show available for download in MP3 format here. Highlights include a new song titled "Intervention" and a cover of The Magnetic Fields' "Born on a Train".

The Postal Service has just put out a video for their song "We Will Become Silhouettes". The video is directed by Jared Hess of Napoleon Dynamite fame. The video features Ben Gibbard singing karaoke while Jimmy Tamborello plays a keyboard. Also making an appearance in the video is Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley. You can watch the video here.

Last year DJ Dangermouse was the talk of the internet after he remixed the vocals from Jay-Z's Black Album with The Beatles' White Album to make his own creation aptly titled The Grey Album. Now there is a Jay-Z construction set available which allows anyone to easily create their own remix. One clever example that has already popped up is a mix of the Jay-Z album with Weezer's self-titled debut album (often called the Blue Album). The remix is being called Jay-Zeezer's Black and Blue Album, and is available for download on the Jay-Zeezer website.

Two Cow Garage is a new(ish) band from Columbus, Ohio. They remind me a lot of Drive-By Truckers and Slobberbone. I recently ordered their new album The Wall Against Our Back after hearing a couple of the songs. You can check them out yourself on their website, where they currently have about 10 MP3 tracks available for download.
