Spoon Debuts New Single "Written In Reverse"

The good folks over at The Audio Perv have the new single from Spoon, "Written In Reverse," up. You can check it out HERE. I'm really diggin' this one. It's rather catchy. I think this makes what, the third or forth Spoon song that gets more than an "it's okay" rating from me? I dare say it has made me look forward to checking out the album when it comes out.

CareFusion New York Jazz Festival To Take Place June 17 – 26, 2010

While New York isn't a city that is short on jazz, we are a city that gets used to having certain things. So when we didn't get our annual George Wein produced jazz festival this past summer, for the first time in 37 years I might add, we missed it! Well, suffer no more New York, it's back.

Wein and his New Festival Productions will produce the 10-day CareFusion New York Jazz Festival which will take place June 17 - 26, 2010. Events will take place at several of the cities venues including Carnegie Hall, Central Park SummerStage, Crotona Park in the Bronx, City Winery, Harlem Stage Gatehouse, The Jazz Gallery, Jazz Standard, (Le) Poisson Rouge, Louis Armstrong House Museum, Music Hall of Williamsburg, Peter Norton Symphony Space, Prospect Park Bandshell: Celebrate Brooklyn, Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Studio Museum in Harlem and The Town Hall.

And, you won't even have to wreck your budget getting your jazz on. That's always a good thing, isn't it? Most shows at partner venues will be priced between $15 – 20, making it possible for more music lovers to participate in festival events.

Artists and additional venue information will be announced at a later date.

Lisa Hannigan Releases New Live Record

Irish musician Lisa Hannigan has a new record out. The six track album, Live At Fingerprints is, for now, exclusively at thinkindie.com but will be available everywhere else on December 15. For those who watch Last Call with Carson Daly, set your recording device of choice to NBC (1:35 AM Eastern time, check your local listings for when it airs in your time zone). She and her band will perform on the show Friday, November 20. So check her out on that. And for your viewing and listening pleasure, check out this clip of Hannigan covering Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus.” Okay, am I the only one who thinks that the record should have had seven tracks? Why isn't a version of that cover not on the disc?

Track Listing

• Sea Song
• Splishy Splashy
• Ocean And A Rock
• Venn Diagram
• I Don't Know
• Lille
