"Rollin' (and smokin') with my homies" - These guys

It’s Monday and we finally have something worth putting up here for the Monday Music Stream feature! NPR is streaming the new album from Guided By Voices! Awesome right? Right! This is a good holiday present. Unless you don’t like Guided By Voices. If you don’t like Guided By Voices I guess you’ll just have to check back later for something that you find to be a more appropriate holiday gift.

but for all you people with good taste in music, you can click here to stream the new Guided By Voices album Let’s Go Eat The Factory.

Good way to start a week.

"This is how we roll" - These guys

I hope no one else in the world needs snow because my little mountain town has it all. All of it. We got it all. There is no more snow for anyone else anywhere. It’s all here. And while we dig our selves out of all the snow, here are some new songs that you can listen to.

“Polish The Broken Glass,” a new track from Matt Pryor’s new solo album, May Day, is streaming over at Spin.

You can listen to the new Guided By Voices song “Doughnut for a Snowman” over at Rolling Stone.

A new track from Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa is streaming here.

A couple new (and live) The National songs are streaming on Stereogum.

Stereogum also has new tracks from Choir Of Young Believers and R.E.M..

A new track from Imperial Teen is streaming here.

And a new Cranberries song is streaming right here.

That should hold you over for a little while.

"My money is on blue" - The guy on the right

Wanna hear a new song from Guided By Voices that sounds like an old song from Guided By Voices? You’re in luck!

So the classic (whatever that means), lineup of Guided By Voices got back together for the Matador 21st birthday party earlier this year and they enjoyed themselves so much (I guess) that they decided to make a new record together. Cool. Guided By Voices are pretty dope (as the kids say), so why not? The album is “in the can” now and lead singer Robert Pollard has posted a new song from that album on his website. Cool.

The track is called “The Unsinkable Fats Domino” and you can listen to it on Pollard’s website .

The new album, _ Let’s Go Eat The Factory_, comes out on the first day of the new year.

Monday. Blah. You kn ow what I mean? You totally know what I mean.

But there is some good news this morning. I haven’t posted very many tour dates on this site for a while. Not sure why… just haven’t. But my inbox is flooded (not literally – that would suck) with people letting me know band’s are heading out on tour. So rather than posting each of these individually, here is a big ass list of bands that are going on tour this fall and a link to their tour dates. This obviously isn’t a full list of EVERY band that is going on tour… because that would be a stupid long list. Anywho, here you go:

James
Eels
Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos
Jonsi
Foals
The National
Frightened Rabbit
Owen Pallett
U2
Stars
Guided By Voices

Like I said… there are a ton more, that’s just the ones I had in my inbox.

"I can play the violin better than you" - This guy

We’ve posted a couple of the A.V. Club’s videos of bands covering other bands because it’s a cool series that’s happening and today we have another one for you. A couple weeks ago Owen Pallett stopped by the A.V. Club’s studio and recorded a sweet-ass version of Guided by Voices’ “Game Of Pricks.”

Check it out:

Awesome.

Click here to check out the full series. I highly recommend the Ben Folds covering Elliott Smith and The Antlers covering Pink Floyd.
