[VID] Patterson Hood | The Thanksgiving Filter

        Here's a video of Patterson Hood performing "The Thanksgiving Filter" at an acoustic session somewhere at some point, there isn't any information about the video. Hood is the usual lead singer of The Drive-By Truckers, he splits time with Mike Cooley and sometimes Shonna Tucker.

       "The Thanksgiving Filter" is going to be on a Black Friday limited 10" release along with "Used to be a Cop." And presumably the song will be added onto their upcoming album, Go-Go Boots, out Feburary 15, 2011.
 
       This is going to be a DBT classic, the strong emotional appeal and is about the deep seated familial problems that arise around the end of November. I can't wait to hear a full version of the song.

Go-Go Boots

Here's the cover to the upcoming Drive-By Truckers album, Go-Go Boots, due out February 15th, 2011.

[MP3] The National | Fake Empire [Ryan Lewis BONUS]

The National - Fake Empire [Ryan Lewis BONUS]

One of the more popular songs in The National's catalog gets a remix by Ryan Lewis, who made a name for himself working with the West Coast rapper Macklemore. This cut is from the Vs. [REDUX] where they remixed their entire EP they released in 2009. Not only does a remix of The National seem unorthodox, it seems downright impossible considering the multitude of layers they meld their music with. Lewis keeps the songs diginity intact with an emphasis on the strings that compose the song, breaking them down and stretching them out for an ear-pleasing, aesthetic remix that will make you want press replay, then listen to the original.

[VID] CuDi plays Letterman w/ Roots, St. Vincent, & Cage

Here is a live performance of one of the more bizarre songs off Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. The final product features the likes of indie goddess St. Vincent and underground whitey/oldie Cage. As most artist usually want to include the in-house band, The Roots, into their routine, CuDi does the same but quite minimally. Please don't tell me that CuDi is going all Weezy on us by whipping out the guitar, I wonder if it is even plugged in, I don't recognize it. I hope he plans a tour in the near future, I'd like to catch him live at some point.
