Jack White 'Love Interruption'

Since the White Stripes broke up not so long ago, there had been much speculation as to what the ever prolific Mr. White will do next. Well, besides concentrating on his label Third Man Records, producing everyone from Wanda Jackson to Black Milk and fighting for the value of music, he has also managed to put together a solo album. Titled Blunderbuss it will be released on April 23/24 of this year. Under twenty four hours in the stratosphere here is the first song to be released from it. Enjoy.

The War On Drugs "Baby Missiles"

Absolutely wonderful new song from The War On Drugs. This is just the kind of music that needs to be released right now. It's from their four years in the making album Ambient Slave. Maybe it's the echos of Bruce Springsteen, but I can't stop listening to it.

Rostam Batmanglij

I have been a fan of Vampire Weekend since their debut single way back in 2007. What always captivated me about this band was their ability to make pop music that had almost classical sensibility. It was intelligent music for the masses. Now the secret behind that classical sensibility is out. Rostam Batmanglij, the keyboard player and general multi-instrumentalist of the band, has released a song on his soundcloud page. I found it completely by accident this morning and have been listening to it almost none stop since.

The song is called Wood and has an almost Wes Anderson movie soundtrack feel. A good thing I reckon. So if you do one thing today follow the link at the end of this post. It will lead you to this wonderful song and also to Rotsam's Tumblr which is just charming. It makes me want to tour in the apparently genteel way that he does. Enjoy.
