This is the best Tumblr I’ve seen in weeks, thanks to Matt Price at Nerdage for the heads-up. I think subconsciously I always thought there was a level at which both Kanye West and Wes Anderson could be appreciated simultaneously, but the operator of this Tumblr boiled it down. Nice work — you are a champion in... Read More

Video of the Day: Morrissey covers Frankie Valli’s “To Give (The Reason I Live)” on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”
October 04, 2012
Morrissey, our contentious and prickly leader, has been covering this 1967 Frankie Valli chestnut for some time, a Mancunian finding his inner Jersey Boy.

Klara and Johanna Söderberg of First Aid Kit get run through the kaleidoscopic filters and chased by Wicker Man-style pagan wolf priests or something in this clip for the excellent new single — not included on the duo’s second album, “The Lion’s Roar.” All highly recommended.

Music Review: Cat Power, “Sun” (Matador)

Rating: 80
