Battles:Atlas
From their 2007 release Mirrored. Bravo album. They will be playing with !!! at Terminal 5 on Friday night. !!! is pronounced Chk Chk Chk. Like little chickens. And for more about taking it to the countryside: Escape to River Cottage is only the beginning.

The best radio. Period'd.
RadioLab. They're nerds. Like They Might Be Giants nerds. But good to know and good to have on your side. In case anything needs literated... or explained why a goat would stand on a cow.
The hosts:
Jad Abumrad's ~ recent father ~ WNYC blog
Robert Krulwich ~ with the more extensive wiki-page ~ here
Funny thing. They both went to Oberlin College in Ohio, decades apart, and met in NYC. I think their combined energies, knowledge and on-air banter is unmatched. Since Harry Caray died anyway. He knew how to address the issues. Big-Corporation style.
Harry Caray. Rest. In. Peace. 1914-1998. Go Cubs. Go.

NPR'd
Chairlift was on Sound Check with John Schaefer today. Take a listen. He kinda, well, gives them a grilling on selling out. Both musically and fashionably. Perhaps a faux pas on John's behalf... Jesus boss, NPR much?
But I have to say, I've seen the dude that plays the computer in a damn Mets T-shirt. Woah; two things wrong with that. Uno, they're from Boulder, CO ~ act like it. And dos, since when is a laptop an instrument. Oh, yeah. Ghostland Observatory! Okay. That's cool. But at least wear a Rockies uni, they've at least made the playoffs this decade.
Here's a link to Evident Utensil. It's a pencil by the way. Pretty cool video. Although they confuse the medium by using oil-based paint.
The topic of the interview is the i-pod song of yester...day, month, year. Who knows anymore in this mac-world. I'm just a mac girl and I live in a mac-terial world.
It is a damn-fine song. But, erm, obviously that video was brought to you by industry-pods. Hopefully you have a MAC and can go to another tab whilst listening.
Chairlift is playing NYC Saturday night at Bowery Ballroom. And I believe all their original videos are no longer embeddable for blogs because of their contract with MAC. Just saying, but it's true.
