Monday Music Junkie: New Pornographers, Cake, Foo, Brian Wilson & More
Download column author Andy Vihstadt trolls the Internet for new music like a junkie with a $200-a-day habit, so we figured since he’s doing it anyway, we’ll try and convince him to share his findings. He agreed. The man’s a true public servant. Enjoy.
Porn Challenge
Canada’s answer to the supergroup returns on Tuesday with Challengers, marking the fourth notch on the New Pornographers’ collective bedpost. If you’re a superfan, go here to order “The Executive Edition” which comes as a box set, including three extra discs of bonus material. Or, if you’re a cheapskate, head over to Chromewaves to download Neko Case doing Stevie Nicks.
Shame on you. Alright, here’s the link.

Scratch ‘n sniff technology is grossly underused these days, so kudos to Cake for incorporating it into its limited-edition pressings of B-Sides and Rarities. Due in October and available in five scents (none of which will actually resemble cake), the compilation will deliver covers of songs by Barry White, Kenny Rogers and Black Sabbath.
Cake — “War Pigs”
Fix continues after the jump.
