I had the pleasure of seeing Carina Round at Hotel Cafe in Hollywood last year and she was vacillating between winsome plinkiness and PJ Harvey demonology within the course of her 40 minute set. This terrific video is so fresh it only has 250 views at YouTube as of this posting. It’s weird recognizing some personal friends in it lip-syncing to her lead vocal.

Check out this exclusive podcast interview with elusive MusicZeitgeist.com writer Truffle Jones during his exhaustive Week of Shows.

They cover such an exhaustive range of topics and bands from how indies should design their merch to why My Bloody Valentine still sounds more modern than ever, the hottest new indie bands you’ve never read or heard about anywhere (yet), mr. Gnome, Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s, Dandy Warhols, the downtown LA Weekly Detour festival featuring Mars Volta, the new Kings of Leon album and what it will take for MGMT to be truly ready for the big time.  There’s too much to list – you’ll just have to hear this one hour action packed special for yourself.

You can also hear it/subscribe to the podcast in iTunes.
