Jason Isbell performs "Streetlights" Live at WTMD
Here's some nice Friday morning music -- a song called "Streelights" from Jason Isbell and the 400 unit. It's slow-cooked rock-and-roll with a southern, hickory flavor. The album never gets old.

Oh yeah, and Radiohead's new album, King of Limbs, can be downloaded Saturday!!
A true crouching tiger, hidden dragon move by Radiohead to announce their album a week before it's released (and then sneak it out a day earlier than the press was anticipating), but I'm all for it! This First-Listen, album preview nonsense takes all the excitement out of holding a new album in my hand and tearing it open when I get into my car -- love it or hate it. I would say that was the reason why I haven't gone out and bought the new Decemberist and Iron & Wine albums (although they are good).
More good news for your Tuesday:
This, on the Fruit Bats blog:
"Just starting work on the latest album, expect new Fruit Bats jams sometime this year! Also, I've composed the score to a couple of movies this year. The first of those is called Ceremony (in theaters April 8th!), directed by my buddy Max Winkler. You can check out the preview here - we even used an old Fruit Bats chestnut for the trailer as you'll hear! More to come very soon, friends... Much love, EDJ"
Check out said trailer for "Ceremony" here.

White Stripes Are Done
Bittersweet to hear that the White Stripes are officially done, as was reported on their website yesterday. The message addresses many of the questions that might linger, stating that the "break up" isn't due to personal or health issues, but rather to "preserve something beautiful." Those of us who never caught a WS show still have the opportunity to see Jack White and Meg perform in one of their other projects, Raconteurs or Dead Weather.
The White Stripes certainly made an impression on me and kept me busy during my "formidable years" learning songs like Seven Nation Army and Dead Leaves for guitar. A-dios White Stripes, off you ride into rock history and lore.

New Fleet Foxes ... Finally!
I was able to exhale this morning when I saw an article on RollingStone.com about Fleex Foxes long-awaited second album. None too soon, as I was openly begging for new Fleet Foxes here not long ago.
The new record will be called Helplessness Blues and is due out May 3. Word has it they recorded a good bit in upstate New York. From a band that calls the Pacific Northwest home, I can take a little more pride in my corner of the world.
Certainly has been a great source of inspiration for me.
