Starting this week, The Tripwire is going to be gathering its personal belongings and moving to a new, much more plush web address: TheFader.com . Kinda awesome, right? The TW content and commentary you've come to love, hate and possibly lust after will be living there from now on, a transition that starts today and will be complete by the end of the week. To check out the rest of this post, head here . A taste you'll find below: Remember all those half-lazy / half-right pieces last year about Brooklyn music having a [...]

Just before this clip dropped last week, we stumbled across a fantastic, Venezuelan-born cover of "Weird Feelings," our favorite Male Bonding jam. With the exception of that weak, totally unprovoked shove in the first few seconds, this is gooey fire. Their tear continues.

Ty Segall played alone in the Cake Shop bathroom. There is nothing more to say, really. Oh, besides that this is a brand new, frustratingly good song you wouldn't have heard anywhere else, unless of course you happen to sit outside Ty's apartment window late at night, in a tree, hoping for a glimpse of him in his undies or snippets of new songs. We admit to neither. Feel free to download his electro-acoustified version of "Goodbye Bread" after the bang bong bump. Ty Segall, "Goodbye Bread" [...]

Best punk rock flipbook ever.

"Take a whispering class!" The Brutalist Bricks is out now.

It snuck right by us when the Internet spit it out a month ago, so we apologize for not posting earlier. Monsieur Vincent Moon shot Madame Van Etten around Brooklyn last February, footage that proves again that she outgrew the chanteuse tag the moment she began to lay songs to tape. She's hitting the road this Fall, see where and when you can find her after the jump. 09.08 Washington, DC @ DC9 w/ Marissa Nadler 09.09 Charlottesville, VA @ Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar w/ Marissa Nadler 09.10 Raleigh, [...]

He fronts and motors Wax Fang, a three-piece, Louisville-based guitarmy that we (and My Morning Jacket's Jim James) count as one of our favorite rock bands right now. He's playing "Avant Guardian Angel," an instrumental highlight from 2008's La La Land , at WRFL, the student-run station at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. Check out two more La La Land cuts after the jump. Please.

Happy Friday.

Before Esben and the Witc h was Matador -labeled and scaring the shit out of us, it was a Danish fairy tale that, we have no doubt, has likely scarred (and scared) generations of Danish children. "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" might have something to do with the gradual decaying of the faces in this music video, a music video which begins as harmless singing close-ups, like Alanis Morissette's "Head Over Feet," before taking the expressway to bloodsville and coming out-cracked glasses, busted eye-looking like Manson clan mug shots. Haunted, funereal, held together by the [...]

Perhaps that headline is more confusing than illuminating. Let's try again: San Franciso psychlords Thee Oh Sees have a new music video. Please watch it above. Their brilliantly titled new LP, Warm Slime , is out now on In The Red .

No joke: we had a nightmare EXACTLY like this Jason Miller-directed clip about a year ago. It was not soundtracked by of Montreal, but it was just as upsetting.

Once upon a time, the lovely, lovely Lissie came all the way from Ojai, CA to serenade us in our living room . We considered ourselves lucky enough for that experience, but we wanted more. Sooo Lissie came back for round two, and this time, in our backyard. Being the hippie that she is, she took her shoes off, petted our dogs, and started watering the garden (just kidding on that last part). Watch a Lissie-fied cover of Lionel Richie's "Hello," above! Also check out "Bully" and "In Sleep" after the bump, two brainbusters from Lissie's sweet [...]

It's going to be awfully tough for the "official" video to top it.

Does it seem like cats don't care all that much for kids? Like they're a bother? Because the more we think about it, the more it seems as though that's the reason why the older we get, the less creepy cats become and vice versa. Babies freak cats out. Also, Ra Ra Riot's Wes Miles sounds more like Ted Leo every day! Age!

Back in June, part of the Tripwire staff was roaming the streets of Johannesburg, South Africa, fumbling around with a camera whilst shooting this . That particular member of the staff has also been known to dutifully cover and share every bit of Pearl Jam-related news or non-news that comes down any pipeline, a job he couldn't manage when "Better Days", the Eddie Vedder-penned song for the Eat, Prey, Love OST hit the Internet like it was owed a large stack of cash two months ago. So now that the movie is finally out, this week seemed [...]

Blast! Tricked by Stuart Murdoch again! Check a cool teaser for Belle and Sebastian Write About Love after the jump. It's out October 12 in the States and just about everywhere else the day before.

Backed by Jonathan Donahue and Grasshopper of Mercury Rev, Dean and Britta played some songs on Mystery Spot Antique's porch in Phoenicia, NY this past weekend as part of a Music For Front Porches series. Just like that cyclone of a headline says. Above you can see them doing George Harrison's "Isn't It a Pity" and after the bump is Bob Dylan's "I'll Keep It With Mine." Like Dean and Britta and Jonathan and Grasshopper, those songs could also be considered antiques. Yeah, sorry. That was a bad joke. Shit. (Via Ashbees' Fragments )

They never left! Like another Australian band we love, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Melbourne's The Drones have hauled in hardware at home but made little noise here in the States. It makes no sense. Above is an unusually light, acoustic take on "Shark Fin Blues", an older song that was voted last year as the Greatest Australian Song Ever through a Jmag -conducted poll of the country's "70 best songwriters." After the jump you'll find the sturm and drang in which they specialize.

This song continues to feel like one of the most exhilarating rock songs of this year. Its new, boob-bolstered video gives it even more juice. We thought it wasn't possible! We were wrong!
