If It's Friday, It's Time for Hookers and Blow

Completely unbeknownst to me, the iTunes store has the new Secret Machines disc, "Ten Silver Drops" available for $7.92. It doesn't come out in physical form in the U.S. until April 25th. I hadn't heard they were doing this. It's an interesting stab at breaking the mold of how album releases are done, and I wish them luck. That said, I'm hesitant to buy it, given that I didn't like a single song off their last EP, and I don't care much for the lead single, Alone Jealous and Stoned.

Also on iTunes, got get your grunge-lovin' ass a free download of Nirvana's, err Silverchair's, err Nine Black Alps' new song, "Cosmopolitan."

And, because I know you want 'em, here's four more songs off the new Calexico album, Garden Ruin, due out on April 11th. (All via OneLounder via Neileslife.)
