New Stereolab Live Video - "Valley Hi!"
During the early days of June we posted photos from Sterelab's "secret" fan-only show at the Windmill in Brixton, where they premiered new songs from the forthcoming Chemical Chords. We've already seen and heard brassy "Three Women," but the propulsive "Valley Hi!" -- which isn't a Xiu Xiu song by the way -- is newer to our eyes and ears. While you absorb it, keep watch for some of the whitest dancing ever captured on tape. If you miss him the first time, no worries: The camera person noticed dude's moves as well. - Source

Grizzly Bear Frontman Chats Radiohead Tour With Vindy
Here's what Ed Droste had to say in this week's interview: *It's always been kind of a joke with our band like 'Yeah, we're going to go on tour with Radiohead someday'. And everyone would laugh, like that's the most unrealistic thing ever. And then they released In Rainbows and our booking agent submitted us for it. We didn't hear anything for a long time. Then the next thing we heard they chose us. I guess they don't even take submissions and they pick whomever they want. I still can't believe it. Like I have a weird fear and there's going to be a last minute cancellation. It's surreal.*Read the full piece here.Ed recently shared his summer playlist. - Source

Gnarls Barkley Cover Radiohead
There aren't many voices that can do justice to a Thom Yorke melody. (We saw a bunch of our favorite bands take on the OK Computer movements with OKX to varying results.) But it just so happens Gnarls Barkley have one of the better singers in the game. Gnarls have been covering In Rainbows' "Reckoner" in their live sets lately, and we finally found a YouTube clip -- from their set in San Diego three nights ago (right during Comic Con, no less) -- that does some audio and visual justice to Cee-Lo's take. Not even those introductory cigarette drags can get in the way. - Source
