Whenever the blog Rollo & Grady posts a letter from Bob Lefsetz, I try to read the whole thing. Â His latest article raves about a new music service/website called Turntable.fm. It is somewhat like a mix of those old AOL chat rooms and Pandora, where users enter a room (or create one) and then whoever takes turns adding songs to the playlist. Â Watch the video below or just go straight there.

Jack White continues to be the coolness over at Third Man Records.  The other day I linked to the Black Milk songs that Jack guests on, Seasick Steve did a single, Chris Thile just did a single, The Strange Boys are putting out a live record, and  Pokey LaFarge is a good listen.  In the  latest record club release, the Vault, Wanda Jackson is putting out a live record, and there are songs from Andre Williams and Jack’s old collaboration, 2 Star Tabernacle.
Coolest/strangest/most-appropriate-for-this-blog is that Stephen Colbert is releasing a single via Third Man Records. Â See all the videos of Stephen at playing the new song live and Jack White on the Colbert Report at The Modern Age. Â Thanks to K$ for the heads up.
