A couple of mini news items for your Tuesday morning:
- Spoon has moved up the release date of their new record Transference to January 19. They also announced the first single, “Written in Reverse,” which will be released December 1 digitally and January 5 as a 7″ single. The vinyl-only B-side is awesomely titled “Mean Read Spider.”
- Today on iTunes you can get The Bridge School Collection, Vol. 4, the latest installment of compilations from Neil Young’s annual Bridge School benefit concert to raise awareness and money for children with severe physical impairments and challenging communication needs. Vol. 4 features live tracks from Death Cab for Cutie, My Morning Jacket, Band of Horses, Tegan and Sara, and Trent Reznor among others. It’s for a good cause and the previous volumes are great, so be sure to check it out.
- Speaking of My Morning Jacket, they were on American Dad, which is sort of amazing. Too bad they weren’t on a good show. You can watch it here.
- Lastly, the collaboration of the year has finally happened, as the Roots joined Dirty Projectors on stage Sunday night to play “Stillness is the Move.” Check out the video below.
