Listen: RZA & The Black Keys - "The Baddest Man Alive"

Listen: Teen Daze - "Discipleship"
Well, Teen Daze just keeps on delivering. Today he unveiled the sixth track to be taken from his upcoming second solo LP The Inner Mansions; "Discipleship", and there's no sign of him slacking off. If he keeps this "release-one-track-every-week"-thing up he will have unveiled every track on the LP right in time of the traditional full album stream the week prior to release, as the LP only contains nine tracks and it's due on November 6.

Watch: Sharon Van Etten - "Magic Chords" (official video)
Sharon Van Etten's Tramp was one of my early favourites this year but I've sort of lost touch with it, in large part due to my iPod dying and never having enough time to fill the new one properly. Today Van Etten's new video for the excellent Tramp track "Magic Chords", directed by Rick Alverson, premiered on Pitchfork so I've been reminded of just what a good album Tramp is. Revisiting time. Watch the video below, but it features naked bodies (or perhaps corpses) so it's a bit NSFW.
