Some Weekly Q-Tips

• M.I.A. has a new single "Born Free," off her June 29th album not yet titled. [download here]

• Department of Eagles are releasing an album on July 20th, Archive 2003-2006, which contains music that they didn't release between 2003 and 2006, as if you didn't get that from the title. the first glimpse into their past is "Brightest Minds."

• There was a review in Diversions this week of the debut album from Mandolin Orange. Quiet Little Room is under much of the world's radars but expect a post coming from them soon. A Great album, maybe you recognize the reviewer. ;)

• Brenton Duvall, ever heard of him. Check out his The XX vs. Snoop Dogg feat. Kid Cudi and Little Wayne vs. Passion Pit.

• MGMT's Congratulations debuted at #2 on the Billboard charts. Their new sound isn't losing them any money. Too bad Justin Beiber took #1.

• John Lennon stashed acid in his garden at home and his maybe 40-50 year stash has been unearthed. Aged acid, better than aged wine.

• Ben & Jerry's dedicated a flavor of ice cream to BONNAROO. Dankness in a frozen-creamy form. It tastes like "light coffee & malt ice cream with whiskey caramel swirls & English toffee pieces." Sounds good to me. Try it out at your local store on May 4th.

• Joanna Newsome and My Morning Jacket's Jim James are contributing artists on The Roots June release, How I Got Over.

• Vampire Weekend has loosely promised an EP for later this year...
