And just cuz we gotta one-up the scoop on Stereogum, we have confirmed that a video is being shot for this song next week.

Listen to "Coffee (Aesop Rock f. John Darnielle)" on Hypem.

Hop on over to our listen page where you’ll find some brand-newish mp3s from the upcoming albums by Taken By Trees and the Super Furry Animals.  Unfortunately, Gruff wasn’t unavailable for comment.  But Victoria hooked us up with this nice quote about her beautiful song "Lost And Found":

This song was given to me by a close friend.
She wrote it especially for me to sing.
The song is in itself feels very sad but still yearning.
I like the rhytm in it very much, it is not too obvious.
The song is written by Tracyanne Campbell.

For any of you uncultured Yanks not familiar with the NME, it’s the only thing that gets young UK publicists more excited than Stereogum.  This past week, our boy Jack Penate graces the cover for the first time.  Even with a careless whisper dome, we think he looks right at home next to his supposed squeeze, Kate Nash.  Stay tuned for more Jack as we’re trying to get him over to here for a few shows in the very near future.  Don’t worry Mrs. Penate, we’ll be sure to take away his Sharpies^(tm) before he hits the Studio B after-party.

Scott looking happy with his choice of entree & Bryce wishing he hadn’t ordered the chicken!!

Holy Cannoli!

We had a great time watching this with the band at a super fab restaurant in the West Village last night. We are super proud of the job they did and we bet you will be too!
