In Your Ears - 06.29.07



- First we're gonna pilfer Stereogum and pick through all the nonsense to find the good stuff.  You can start with J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. challenging David Cross to a game of Guitar Hero. Yeah, it's as awesome as it sounds.  Next watch Wayne Coyne in a bubble at Bonnaroo...just like he did last year, and the year before. So sick of the Flaming Lips.  To wrap it up check out Ryan Adams on Letterman, Ben Kweller covering the Smashing Pumpkins and new soundtrack music from M. Ward and Bright Eyes! [Stereogum]

- Head on over to My Kentucky Blog to check out the new Amy Winehouse video for "Tears Dry On Their Own." And while you're there check out some new tracks from Margot and The Nuclear So and So's. [MOKB]

- If you're like me it's never too early to start with the best of the year lists, and Filter just happens to agree!  They have a mini-list of their top 10 records of the first half of 2007.  There are some definite keepers here, but I can't get behind any list that doesn't include the hands down best record of the year. [Filter]

- Pitchfork has some good stuff this week, including new videos from Art Brut, Blitzen Trapper, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol and Kanye West! [Pitchfork]

- One of my favorite records of 2006 was 'Boys and Girls in America' from the Hold Steady.  While I haven't listened to it in a number of months now, these acoustic versions of two tracks from the album just reminded me of how good it was. [I Guess I'm Floating]

- And finally, what better way to start the weekend then with a little Michael Scott and a whole lotta Styx! [BWE]
