Her new album, The Idler Wheel is wiser than the Driver of the Screw, and Whipping Cords will serve you more than Ropes will ever do, comes out June 19.

Listen: She & Him “Christmas Day”
I love Christmas music. For one month it dominates my playlists to the point of unhealthy obsession. Luckily, bands like She and Him continue to put out new recodings, and this year they’ve done a full LP of holiday tunes. Stream the song above and check out the complete tracklisting after the jump.
Bargain shoppers take note! The album is currently onsale for just $5 on Amazon MP3.
Stream TNV’s ‘Dancer Equired” + win a prize pack
NPR is streaming Times New Viking’s new album, Dancer Equired, out a week from Tuesday (4/26) on Merge Records. Give it a listen, and if you like what you hear (I say it’s TNV’s crowning achievement), email contestdonewaiting@gmail.com with the subject line “TNV Tats” to win a Dancer Equired LP & CD, a poster of the cover art and a Ohio/TNV tattoo. (The poster & tattoo also come with every preorder at the Merge store).
MP3: Kurt Vile – “Jesus Fever” + NPR album stream
Kurt Vile aka Philly’s constant hitmaker never goes too long without releasing some new music. Matador released his last batch of songs, the Square Shells EP, for free (for a day), and next week the label will release the psych/folk-rocker’s latest full-length, Smoke Ring for My Halo. Matt Horseshit once said Vile’s music was like “shaving your face off… but pretty.” This new one leans more toward pretty than face-scraping, but it’s still easy to cobble together his divergent influences — Dylan, the Swell Maps and classic-rock radio (try to listen to “Puppet to the Man” without thinking of Deep Purple or Blue Oyster Cult).
NPR and Spinner pretty much have a monopoly on full album streams these days. The former nabbed the full stream of Smoke Ring for My Halo. Listen here.
Listen: New TV on the Radio Song “Will Do”
Time to wind down the solo projects, everyone. TV on the Radio are releasing a new album in April along with a tour. Listen to a new song to get you in the mood:
True story: I was in a meeting at my day job one day and I mentioned “Wolf Life Me.” A respectable gent who could be my grandfather said, “TV on the Radio?” He knows what is up.
Streaming interview/performance by The Posies – 6:30pm (EST)
Not sure if this will work but we’re going to try a little experiment in a few hours.
We’ll also be recording in hi-def and we’ll post the “official” Posies interview/performance in the next couple of weeks.
UPDATE: Didn’t quite work out, but if at first you don’t succeed..
