hold the phone! new facebook design!

As the Facebook crew prep a new design, the world crumbles beneath our feet.  After all, we are just pawns in the facebook game, marveling at every new application and eating it all up one piece at a time.  I mean, what else is there to do nowadays besides post on a friend’s wall and stalk a wall-to-wall between that friend and somebody you barely know (i wonder if they are dating).  No, the world is not coming to an end, facebook just has a new design, and you can look at it here. I can’t wait till google unleashes the new design! (that’s a joke).

Conor plays new tunes in Brazil, sells album

Conor Oberst recently performed in Brazil, debuting some of his new material of the album, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, which isn’t set to come out until the 4th of august.  He claimed that the record, however, was available in Brazil, having seen it at a record store earlier that evening.  The new stuff sounds great.  I don’t know who this chick in the “Eagle on a Pole” video thinks she is, but she won’t shut up and, unfortunately for us, she already knows all the words and wants to show it.  Here are videos of the songs “Get-Well-Card” and “Eagle on a Pole” (with a reworked “Falling Out of Love at this Volume”).

Dear Science,

After two years since the release of Return to Cookie Mountain, TV on the Radio are back with a comma.  Their newest, Dear Science, (comma intended) hits the US on the 23rd of September.  Exciting stuff, if it’s as good as Cookie Mountain there’ll be no complaints here.
