Free download of “Skinny Little Bitch,” the lead single from Hole’s upcoming Nobody’s Daughter at http://www.nobodysdaughter.com/

I like it for a first single - it’s catchy and it’s got swagger and Courtney’s vocals sound great.

Y Kant Tori Read - The Big Picture

Now you know how to react if ever someone breaks into your car and steals your underwear.

It is its own literal video.

OH. MY. GOD. It so is. I’d never noticed before. Also I just laughed so loud I had my family ask me if I was okay.

it REALLY is. hilarious.

Courtney Love with the new incarnation of Hole on Jonathan Ross performing the new and improved “Samantha”..not too shabby, especially considering this is one of their first live appearances. I like the new parts they’ve added to the song since the original demo leaked.

“Never So Big” - David Byrne & Fatboy Slim ft. Sia

Here’s a track from the upcoming David Byrne & Fatboy Slim collaboration that features vocals from everyone from Cyndi Lauper and Tori Amos (on the same track no less) to Florence minus her Machine, Shara Worden, Natalie Merchant, St. Vincent and Roisin Murphy.

crumbler:

“I Am Trying to Break Your Heart,” JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound. Via Coop and the You Me Them Everybody Chicago music podcast comes this wonderfully original Wilco cover, which converts the spacey folk of the original into the swaggering funk of “Superstition”-era Stevie Wonder. What other Wilco tracks would be well served by this kind of arrangement? “Box Full of Letters” and “Forget the Flowers” come to mind. (download)

Wow, very cool and works surprisingly well. “Monday” and “I’ve Got You” seem like more obvious choices but I could definitley hear “War on War” or “She’s A Jar” working too.

Once you’ve played the song a thousand times, your life experiences affect the way you perform the song and the way the song actually grows and lives. The recording should actually come after - it just seems weird that you record the song and then play it afterwards. I don’t know how to feel good about recording. It’s strange - it’s like trapping ghosts. It’s like math. Or trapping the meaning of life. That doesn’t really feel right.
