New Hold Steady; National; El Madmo - All Out Today

The new single from the forthcoming Stay Positive is out today on Itunes but you can hear it on the Hold Steady's MySpace page right now. SAXOPHONE!

The National's film - A Skin, A Night - is out on DVD today.

El Madmo - the new Norah Jones project - are out with their debut record today.

El Madmo...the Band..Officially Launches

Just one post after needlessly referring to Norah Jones as El Madmo, the "punk" (but not really) outfit she's playfully in - actually called El Madmo - is going to have its first record released by Conor Oberst. This is not a joke. It seems like a lot of jokes are happening lately (the Flaming Lips' movie finally being shown, 81 dollars for a hamburger in New York) but these are just crazy times.

And who called it back in 2003 when he wanted and got Norah covering AC/DC? Pennypacker, that's who.
