>> On(c)e and Done: Watch the new St. Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks video for track eleven off Wig Out at Jagbags, “St. Stephen”Cinnamon and Lesbians.” Literal video is literal. Now watch Kentuckians Cage the Elephant do Melophobia tune “Come a Little Closer” (not to be confused with “Closer”) and bonus song “Take It Or Leave It” (not to be confused with “Take It Or Leave It” or “Take It Or Leave It”) on Kimmel. Lastly, in late night, Oscar Isaac and Jimmy Fallon covered Katy Perry’s “Roar.” Justin Timberwho? #TeamOscar

>> “You can’t pretend to be something. You listen to Nas’ first album Illmatic. It’s street stories. As he got more rich, he wrote songs like ‘You Can Hold My Ice.’ He wrote different kinds of songs, and that’s just who he became at that point. And that’s what the art form of hip hop is. It’s about your experiences.” ~ Jensen Karp, on Chet Haze

>> Gawker’s (Rich Juzwiak’s) super duper exclusive and very real and not at all fake interview with Vegas automaton Britney Spears is perfect.

>> A.V. Club talks to Darryl “DMC” McDaniels about the best Christmas song of them all, “Christmas In Hollis.” Sorry, The Kinks, it was a close one.

>> Dum Dum Girls tour dates, y’all.


>> Philthy Mag talks to Canadian rockers Magneta Lane about Witchrock, playing live, and inspiring youth generations to question the norms of society that they’re so arbitrarily flung into.

>> Hey, Dirty, the official Ol’ Dirty Bastard biography film is now available to watch online, so CHOOSE YOUR PACKAGE wisely.

>> Listen to The New Yorker music guy SFJ’s Best of 2013 Spotify Playlist. And his notes.

>> St. Nicki’s boob cake. Mmmm, chocolate nips. #chocolatenips #mmmm
