The video for Spoon's "The Ghost of You Lingers" is floating around (even if it's probably unofficial) now, have a look:

It's a blue, bleeding piano, y'all.

• Incidentally, we found it amusing to watch this guy read his poetry in one tab while the Spoon song plays in another ... be sure to start them at the same time, it's a sort of Wizard of Oz / The Wall accident that worked out smashingly well.

• If you missed Animal Collective at Antone's on Sunday night, you might want to live vicariously through Gorilla vs Bear's account of the Dallas show, complete with gorgeous photography.

• Dan Deacon will be in Austin June 12, and would like you to be in his choir:

A vision came to Dan one night of being joined by an angelic choir at the end of his set each night for a rousing, spiritual version of his anthem "Wham City" from his recently released Spiderman of the Rings - a musical tribute to his place of dwelling and to the Baltimore music community he is a part of. This is where YOU come in - Dan Deacon is inviting you to come and be his choir. Dan envisioned a co-ed choir, so all you have to do is be one of the first four males or first four females in your city to e-mail dandeaconchoir@gmail.com and YOU will become a member of the Dan Deacon Wham City choir! (please put the name of your city and your gender in the subject line of the e-mail to make things easier for Dan). If you want to practice and prepare, the song "Wham City" is posted on Dan's MySpace page so you can start singing along.
