Here are some music bits from the past couple days or so:

Cut Copy put an hour mix together that’s good mix of their influences:
A Tale of Two Journeys (Mixtape) by cutcopymusic

UPDATE: you can download the mix here.

Radiohead will be releasing their new album, King Of Limbs, digitally on saturday, which will surely bring the “indie” music worlds productivity levels to a halt for a good day or 20.  Seems like a nice way to recover from your post-grammy hangover.

LCD Soundsystem announced their farewell show to be held at Madison Square Garden, where they promise a 3 hour set including rarely played songs, epic dance-offs, and overall sweetness.  Then it promptly sold out in about 2 mins, magically to mostly scalpers (shocker), then Mr. Murphy promptly went justifiably crazy.

I myself was on ticketmaster right at 11AM and for the first 4 minutes was told by ticketmaster’s website that the tickets weren’t for sale yet.  Once they allowed me to try purchasing tickets at 11:04, i was told they were already sold out.  In an anger-induced attempt to get some miracle ticket, i filled in captchas for an hour to no avail.  *sigh*

PS – pitchfork lambasted Bright Eyes’ new record calling it “a wildly spiritual record without any spirit.”  OUCH.
