Sigur Rós have just released “Gobbledigook,” the first single from their forthcoming fifth studio album, Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust (a title, which ironically, sounds like gobbledegook to my non-Icelandic ears). The video for the song is also available to view on the band’s website.
In recognition of the 25th anniversary of Andy Kaufman’s departure, Comic Relief is presenting “The Return of Tony Clifton.” Along with with his Katrina Kiss My Ass Orchestra (ten cutting edge Gulf Coast musicians) and the Cliftonettes (three sexy, talented backup singers/ dancers), Clifton is set to kick off a national tour to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina on June 27th 2008 at the Georgia Theatre in Athens, GA. Could there be better timing for the triumphant return of this “international singing sensation”?
I can’t think of a better time than the weekend to suggest checking out the new awesomely-titled single from The Hold Steady - “Sequestered In Memphis.” It’s a song so good, don’t be surprised if a kegger doesn’t break out in your bedroom or wherever you choose to listen to it. High five!
Leave Weezer alone!!! Weezer’s new video for “Pork and Beans” is so jam-packed with YouTube celebrities (but sadly no swearing Winnebago salesman), it is guaranteed to turn River Cuomo’s mustache into the next hot YouTube sensation. So, why not throw on your gem sweater and watch it now before it goes crazy viral causing your friends to forward it to you no less than a thousand times!

With Winehouse dropping out of recording the Quantum of Solace theme (again), it’s being reported that Beyoncé is in talks with Bond producers about performing a new track written by Amanda Ghost and collaborating with legendary Bond composer John Barry. No stranger to the soundtrack game, Beyoncé has previously recorded songs for such flicks as Austin Powers in Goldmember and The Fighting Temptations.
