The blogosphere is all a-twitter with activity today. So here are some of the things that actually caught my interest (via Sterogum and P4K):

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah debuted a new song last night on the new Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. They have made it available as a free download from their website (email required), so I will not be posting it here as that would be uncouth. The performance, however is available on YouTube:

Grizzly Bear’s upcoming release Veckatimest has leaked. You can read what they have to say about it on their blog. I have not listened to it yet, but I’m sure if I did it would only convince me to buy it immediately once it’s released on vinyl. You should do the same. Read our previous post about their live show in Brooklyn.

Zooey Deschannel, the one woman I would leave any other woman for, is starring in an upcoming film (500) Days of Summer, that seems to be something like Nick and Norah for twenty-somethings. Anyway, here is the preview, it looks pretty cutesy, but what has Zooey in it that isn’t. Also if you haven’t heard M. Ward’s latest Hold Time with Zooey, among others, guesting, you should.

Finally, it’s the battle of indie rockers with similar first names. Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips, whose “Do You Realize? was recently voted Oklahoma’s official rock song, has trash-talked Win Butler of Arcade Fire in a Rolling Stone interview, saying, “they treat everybody in their vicinity like shit.” Butler responds on Arcade Fire’s website saying something to the effect of, “you don’t even knoooow me.”
