The Weekly Feed x The Wallflowers -
Just when I thought my bands and record labels had permanently checked out for the winter freeze, we get a week like this! The National doing a song from the 20s, Interpol leaking out early demos, Public Enemy collaborating with Tom Morello, and the return of Yo La Tengo.
There’s also a nice sample of our upcoming interview with Jakob Dylan about the new Wallflowers disc, so as you see, more than enough to entertain you for the next hour. Dig in.

We’ve got a special guest this week, one of the greatest bartenders in the USofA, Jared Schubert. Along with Erin Keane, we talk about the tragic, tragic breakup as INXS – who were apparently still together. Also, Morgan Spurlock is doing a new documentary. It’s for One Direction. Yeah, the boy band thing. Bruce Springsteen is also getting his own documentary, but this one is fan generated, which is to say that it’s basically going to be Boss Porn. And if all of that weren’t enough, Mellencamp is teaming up with Stephen King for a musical, which should be… nice?
The Weekly Feed x Grizzly Bear -
I learned one important thing about Ed Droste and Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear — they’re both superb Tuvan throat singers. In fact, I might just team up with those dudes and Shelby Cinca to record some new age Tuvan barbershop rag. Oh yeah, and we talked about their new record, Shields. Lots of good vibes.

The Weekly Feed x Ben Folds Five -
Looking for some new music, from new artists, to get you back into gear after the mind-numbing barrage of political warfare? Settle in and let me re-introduce you to the folks who use to be in Girls. Lead Man and Drummer Man have no bands and we’ve got ‘em both, as well as new Thao, a reunion of Kyle Minogue and Nick Cave, and The Roots take on Yo Gagga Gabba. Plus, I talk with Ben Folds Five. Dig in.
