Just talkin' about what they read and heard on Mixtape Muse Photo courtesy of Library of Congress' Flickr We all lead busy lives and, sometimes, we miss things. So, in case you missed some of the posts from last week here at Mixtape Muse, this'll catch you up. Below you'll find a list of everything that was posted for the week of May 16th to May 20th (Mixtape Muse typically doesn't post on the weekends). MONDAY [...]

Unfortunately, this week was dominated by the very sad news of Jay Bennett's passing . So while we spoke to Maria Taylor , Ladytron , Mastodon, Landmine Marathon and Torche , and premiered the video for These United States' "Honor Amongst Thieves" , this week our thoughts are on Jay and his family. Here is The Tripwire week in review. FEATURES Lady Luck: An Interview With Maria Taylor Five Questions For Ladytron Bombshell - [...]

Morning Becomes Eclectic 's interview with Sly Stone-which aired yesterday, and was apparently recorded a few days ahead so the show's producers would ensure that it made it to broadcast-is streaming from KCRW's site right now; his description of what happened when he first heard Sam Cooke is worth the bandwidth. ("Towards the end of the song, people starting running down the aisle and I didn't know what was going on," he said. "I didn't know what was going on. I didn't know they were just happy. So, I turned around and ran, and I've been running ever since.") [ [...]

This seemed to be a week of a lot of big names getting involved in various acts of celebration and controversy. We spoke to Chris Cornell and celebrated the reunions of The Libertines and The Strokes , while sadly celebrating Joey Ramones Birthday . Radiohead entered the studio again , Jack White and Alison Mosshart were part of a rumored scrummage , Trash Talk e-mailed Us , Gonzales broke records at masturbatory speed , and of course we premiered new music . Sharon Van Etten also [...]

Also performing at the T-Mobile party that hosted the first concert in four years by blink-182 : Weezer, who had a tweaked lineup (with Josh Freese on drums; wonder if Rivers Cuomo got a copy of his solo album when the hire went through?) and a cover of MGMT's highly bloggable "Kids" that interpolated a bit of Lady Gaga for good measure / extra viral impact. The two songs mesh pretty well, although I do wish they'd thrown a bit of an old folk tune in there for good measure. [ YouTube ]

So, how many times can we get updated on the Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse, David Lynch Collab album Dark Night Of The Soul on one week? Not once , not twice , but three times . Wilco was also on the non-humble tip this week, Brian Williams padded his indie cred with Deer Tick and we just might have found the next Wavves before he even hits puberty. All that, while we premiered a ton of great music , chilling with Trash [...]

Swine flu wasn't nearly as big a topic this week, but it still reared it's ugly head to make sure we didn't forget about it. Still, we were able to step outside to speak with M. Ward , Antlers and Local Natives as well as release some exclusive music . But probably the biggest highlight was getting to see David Byrne, Sharon Jones, Feist, Bon Iver, The National, Dirty Projectors, My Brightest Diamond and more at the Dark Was The Night event. To see what else you may have missed, here's [...]

SWINE FLU , SWINE FLU , SWINE FLU , SWINE FLU , SWINE FLU , SWINE FLU . We also spoke to the Suckers and William Fitzsimmons and premiered music from Kevin Devin and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros this week. But SWINE FLU , SWINE FLU , SWINE FLU , SWINE FLU , SWINE FLU , SWINE FLU . Here is The Tripwire week in review. FEATURES Don't [...]

It got increasingly more difficult to pay attention to our work this week. The weather is finally starting to get better in New York, so bowling field trips and songs that make us think about summer have been filling our time. This after we spoke to Jon Hopkins , went to Coachella and celebrated Record Store Day . Here is The Tripwire week in review. Now, let's go have a beer and enjoy this sunshine. FEATURES For The Record - [...]

Crystal Castles [Photos by Gabriel Kuo] Wrapping up another week of posts while it's so sunny and nice outside is a laborious task, but it's well worth it when you look over everything we've covered in five short days. We spoke to TV On The Radio frontman Tunde Adebimpe , La Roux and the Eulogies and premiered tracks from the Radical Sons and Damian Lazarus all in the same week, but it was five days ruled by controversies involving Crystal Castles and the [...]

These were posted in the comments of our original news item on the Ben Shepherd/Matt Cameron/Kim Thayil/Tad Doyle collaboration that went down in Seattle the other night, but in case you're having a problem keeping up with your fellow readers' bloviatings, I decided to pull them out and let them shine. "Hunted Down," the leadoff track from Soundgarden's Screaming Life EP, is above; "Nothing To Say" and "Spoonman" after the jump. The band still slays; Doyle's vocals are certainly different than original Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell's, but I think it all fits, in some sort of [...]
