And now for a few links that caught my eye today…
- Jack White’s Third Man Records gets an intriguing, lengthy profile by Nashville Scene, complete with interviews and interesting bits about their live venue (“I think at the first couple shows we did people felt like they were in an art museum or something.”)
- First Aid Kit’s TMR single “It Hurts Me Too” is now streaming at All Songs Considered.
- Nick Cave has been offered driving lessons in lieu of prosecution for crashing his Jaguar into a speed camera last month. The Grinderman frontman should be done with driver’s ed. in time to promote John Hillcoat’s The Wettest Country in the World, a once-shelved film starring Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy that features a Cave-penned script. Hear him mention the film among many other topics in an interview with Triple R.
- John Vanderslice covered Atlas Sound’s “Walkabout” as a bonus track in an exclusive bundle for his new LP, White Wilderness.
- Best Coast have been performing Loretta Lynn’s 1968 song “Fist City” on tour with Wavves recently. Enjoy some audience-shot footage of the cover here or below.
