• – The Roots, “Dear God 2.0”

  They didn’t need the plug, but The Roots‘ nightly gig with Jimmy Fallon definitely hasn’t hurt their fan base. Their latest masterpiece, How I Got Over, shows off some new collabos (Joanna Newsom) as well longtime friends (John Legend). The hipster-friendly “Dear God 2.0″ is the standout track, which features Jim James of My Morning Jacket and Monsters of Folk.

• – Weezer, “Memories”

  Seeing the latest Weezer band photo is almost as surprising as hearing their new single. So, now that you’ve seen the goofy image above, take a listen to “Memories” below. This distortion-heavy track is off their upcoming album Hurley (from Lost?), which drops on September 14th (pre-order here). This date is notable since it’s less than a year from their previous effort, Raditude.

• – Band of Horses, “No One’s Gonna Love You”

  FROM THE MP3 ARCHIVES: In 2007, after ten years together in the dark orchestral-pop band Carissa’s Weird, Ben Bridwell and Matt Brooke keep their proven and fruitful partnership alive with Band of Horses. With a sound so big and wide-open it could bounce off of mountains, Band of Horses is a noticeable departure and progression.

• – The Smashing Pumpkins, “Spangled”

  After years of playing musical chairs with his band members, Billy Corgan might as well be known as “The Smashing Pumpkin” (singular). While he goes his own way, his unwavering series of web-only singles continues with “Spangled,” which is heavier on harpsichord than it is on guitar. Thanks to Corgan and the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund you can listen and download this wonderful song for free.
