WatchThe National - Terrible Love
The National went on Jimmy Fallon this week to perform the first ever listen of a new track from their upcoming album, High Violet, being released on May 11th. The song is a bit of a slow-build, like many tracks from the band, but once it kicks into gear your patience is infinitely rewarded.

We are all in agreement that Ben Gibbard is the luckiest man in the world, right?

Early Bird Special: Andy Samberg drops by the set of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon “unannounced” for an “impromptu” performance of classic nerdcore hip hip joint “Lazy Sunday” with guest Chris Parnell and LNwJF house band, The Roots.

WatchThe Thermals - Canada
I’m a sucker for power-pop and the Thermals are some of the best in the business. This is a complete throwaway track from the trio, but all it takes to get me on board are a few power cords and a “whoa-oa-oa-oa” singalong chorus. Read the full story behind the song dedicated to America’s hat over at Stereogum.

Watchperpetua:
St. Vincent “Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood” Nevermind Fred Armisen, I’m just thrilled to see Carrie Brownstein and Annie Clark working together.
Even though it’s not nearly as memorable as her last video, I love that St. Vincent injected this video with such a strong dose of humor. Maybe I should host an in-store when St. Vincent comes to Wellington…
