While stopping in at Seattle radio station KEXP, The Walkmen did a bunch of Johnny Cash covers. They included “Darlin’ Companion”, “Wanted Man” (Cash’s version of Dylan’s), “Mr. Lonesome”, and “The Auld Triangle”. The Walkmen are so good, they take these songs and make it seem like they’re their very own.
Take a listen to them below via the always attentive fellas over at One Thirty BPM:
“Blue Jeans” is the b-side on Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games” single (my favorite song of ’11 so far).
“Blue Jeans” is right up there in terms of another powerful song from the beautiful woman who I keep falling further in love with. She released it’s music video today. If Lana Del Rey is not a sure thing for the next big thing, I owe you one.

The music video for for Beirut’s “Santa Fe” is an interesting take on the light highlight from his new album, The Rip Tide. Check it out below via The Guardian:
Last night Pearl Jam performed new song “Olé” live for Jimmy Fallon’s late night show. It’s a new song that is pairing up with the release of the Cameron Crowe directed documentary about the bands 20th year: Pearl Jam Twenty.

Soft Pipes is the solo project of Low Vs. Diamond member, Anthony Polcino. “Sleeper” is a track taken from his new EP, Stay Pretty. He’s currently nominated for Deli Magazine’s LA’s Artist of the Month. After listening to “Sleeper” he definitely earned the nomination.
It’s a lovely track that is settling my mind after a pretty chaotic week. Download it below via PacSun:

“Written On My Hand” is the latest demo from New York City Cops, a young British act who already wowed me with their first demo, “Summer Sun”.
It’s another fantastic entry to their young but ever so promising career. The song starts out in a calm haze but eagerly arrives to a shoe-gazy breakout that is hypnotic, chaotic, and strangely calming.
The future is looking a lot brighter with these lads.

Tuesday night Fleet Foxes played Seattle’s Paramount Theater. For the encore Robin Pecknold performed a solo rendiition of a never before played song called “I Let You”. 107.7 The End has a stream of it that you can listen to below.
I don’t think that Robin knows how to write a bad song.
