From All Over

As the title suggests, here's a bunch of interesting stuff I've found over the last few days around the internet. Enjoy:

• RBally, on the verge of internet retirement, posts the first of at least four farewell posts. This one features The Smiths' Troy Tate sessions.
  
  
• Said The Gramophone has an ancient live track from Pavement, "Secret Knowledge of Back Roads", live from the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill in 1992.
  
  
• I've heard a lot of good things about Division Day, who are apparently pretty good friends with Birdmonster. Haven't had a chance to hear anything from them yet, though. Luckily, Largehearted Boy links to the band's song, "Tigers", and it's pretty damn good.
  
  
• Bradley's Almanac has audio from Broken Social Scene's recent show at Brandeis University on October 16th. I'm not a big fan, but it would be a shame if all the rumors swirling around of a breakup are true.
  
  
• The Hold Steady's website is streaming a live version of "Stuck Between Stations", from their excellent new album, Boys and Girls in America.
  
  
• Stereogum has a live track of The Twilight Singers, together with Mark Lanegan, covering Massive Attack's "Live With Me".
  
  
• Speaking of Greg Dulli, Berkeley Place has an awesome collection of Dulli/Twilight Singers/Afghan Whigs rarities.
  
  
• An Aquarium Drunkard has a live set from My Morning Jacket live from 2000.
  
  
• You Ain't No Picasso profiles an interesting new band called Middle Distance Runner.
  
  
• Pound for Pound has a link to The Arcade Fire covering New Order's "Age of Consent". When did everyone in the world start covering this song?
  
  
• Finally, Captain's Dead has a collection of great (and not-so-great) late 80's hair metal, including a couple songs to remind you how good Cinderella actually was ("Shake Me" and "Coming Home"). I could've done without the Winger, though.
