I don’t really know who Lenka is, but thanks to the wonders of Hypem.com I discovered her cover of Modest Mouse’s “Gravity Rides Everything.” It’s a girly folk interpretation of the Moon & Antarctica classic. Listen here. Also her website is cool lookin’. Happy Monday.

Can You Tell, Ra Ra Riot
Tonight, Syracuse bred Ra Ra Riot take the stage for a sold-out Webster Hall performance. Their debut full length is out now on Barsuk, and the lovelorn Can You Tell is their latest offering. I can’t get enough of this album and am very glad to finally see these guys in concert. I’ve missed them an ashamedly large number of times. No more. Tonight I’m playing catch up.

All Points West NY
The line-up has been announced and tickets are on sale. All Points West NY is on. Last year at the inaugural APW I witnessed Radiohead captivate and destroy Liberty State Park. It was one of the most incredible shows of my life. Radiohead has a history of life-altering shows on the Jersey side. I was in attendance for their August 17th, 2001 epic set. On the heels of Amnesiac and Kid A, with the landscape of the full NYC skyline behind them, Thom and the boys delivered an unforgettable performance.
I digress. Point being – Liberty State Park, Jersey City gives good show.
This year’s APW NY includes The Beasties, Tool, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Silversun Pickups (love ‘em), Elbow, Gaslight Anthem, and many, many more.
My 3-day pass has been acquired. Rock will be had. Though most likely I’ll skip out on the Coldplay.

Post April Fool’s Wrap Up
Trent Reznor offered us the finest of April Fool’s delights – an entire NIN album produced by Timbaland! I can’t wait to hear “Everybody’s Doing It (Featuring Chris Martin, Jay-Z AND Bono).” And don’t forget about that $10 digital service fee on your purchase.
In real NIN news – the guys are touring this summer with a re-formed Jane’s Addiction. I’ll be hitting up Jones Beach. Check the dates: ninja2009.com/tour. Hh and there is a real free EP you can get here: ninja2009.com.
Not to be outdone, Google offered us “Gmail Autopilot“. One of my favorites – “Conclusion: Terminate Relationship.” Ah Goog, you still got it. Merry April.
