The song is from his really terrific new album.

Divorced

Congratulations to Amanda Palmer who is finally free of her Roadrunner Records contract. I will be interested to observe the ways she sells her music from here on out (right now she is using Bandcamp alongside more conventional outlets like iTunes). If anyone is built to be a modern indie artist on the Internet, it’s Amanda Palmer.

Yet More Hotness

I’ve been checking out the iTunes store now that iPad apps are publicly available. The biggest surprise so far is this:

KORG iELECTRIBE (iTunes link)

Hotness Continued

Nice rundown of upcoming music apps for the iPad from Create Digital Music. I’m particularly excited for the universal (runs natively on both iPhone and iPad) bleep!Box.

Music Software Hotness for iPad

The midipad is a MIDI controller for iPad/iPhone. Very pretty. Will network MIDI be responsive enough?

Devolympics

I somehow missed Devo performing at the Olympics last night (because when you think of international athletic competition Devo is the first thing that comes to mind), but you can grab the song they premiered for free at Club Devo (email address required). Though it’s not quite as good as “Watch Us Work It, ” I consider it worth the download.

Dirty Single

A free mp3 from The New Pornographers’ upcoming album Together is available on the Matador blog. I’ve only listened to “Your Hands (Together)” a couple of times, but it’s growing on me as TNP songs tend to do.

Memory Protect

Here’s a rare online video of the legendary Boston band Think Tree. It’s hard to find any footage of those guys, though rumor has it they made videos for one or two of their songs.

These days every band has hours of cellphone video documenting everything they do. Meanwhile, there is absolutely no movie or video footage of the adult Nick Drake.
