Saw Sufjan Stevens at Southpaw Sat night; I got there so early, I caught the end of the early show (Robyn Hitchcock) — thank you stranger who gave me the free ticket. More on Sufjan here, and Robyn love here.

Following up on last week’s David Byrne post, we finally get to hear Arcade Fire’s version of Talking Head’s popular favorite:

Link via Bradley’s Almanac, who’s got more MP3s from the show (and photos).

Random links:

  • This movie looks good. (Cool trailer tunes too: Franz Ferdinand, David Byrne, and Peter Gabriel.)
  • ODB Meets Posh Spice. (Dirty: “I like your music.” Posh: “I like your teeth.”)
  • Britney enrolls in college? To study physics presumably.

    RIP ODB

      I heard there was a big fued with Jay-Z and Dame Dash over the signing of ODB… Jay-Z didn’t want him… this is why Dame Dash is a smart CEO… right now he’s sitting on a goldmine with ODB’s mostly complete next album…now he just has to get Jay-Z to make a tribute track for him (like Jay did for Aaliyah)…

      i thought you needed a high school diploma to go to “real” university? or at the very least, some sort of personal quality (or vision) that reccomends you for higher education? or, as it turns out, just a really big bank account? all that hard work for nothing. silly me.

      I bet she presented them with that brilliant poem and they accepted her on the spot.
