TODAY'S PICKS

DAILY TRACK: Band of Horses - "Marry Song" "Marry Song" is a harmonized slo-mo ballad begging to be used in a pensive end-of-episode sequence on some sappy TV drama. Click HERE for more.

DAILY VIDEO: Rolling Stone Breaking Artist - Holy F*ck

DAILY REVIEW: Beirut - The Flying Club Cup The raucous Gypsy brass that gave Beirut's debut album and especially the Lon Gisland EP some jam, always tame in Condon's hands, is now muted or gone, with accordion, strings and various keyboards up front --only not as far front as Condon, who leaves little doubt that the singer he most admires in the world is fellow Europhile Rufus Wainwright. Click HERE for more on the album.
