In this Josh Franer-directed clip for William Fitzsimmons' "If You Would Come Back Home", the troubadour gets strung-out in a dilapidated house. Maybe if he didn't spend so much time in dilapidated houses, he wouldn't be so down. Just a thought.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah appeared on "Late Night" last night (some guy named Jimmy Fallon is running that show now) and played a new song called "Statues". They're also making an mp3 of demo version of the track available on their website with a note saying, "It's a song that we might work on some more in the future."

U2 got a little crazy on Letterman last night, which means that they won't go crazy (that makes no sense). The song with the goofy title is from No Line on the Horizon.

This travelogue video for Telekinesis' "Tokyo", from their forthcoming Merge debut, is an ode to the famed Asian capital and features Japanese candy, alcohol, and fish. Directed by Dianna Potter.

"Prom Queen", a track from Lil Wayne's upcoming rock-rap album, Rebirth, now has a video. It's a revenge fantasy of sorts, starting with Wayne as a bespectacled high school student being rejected by a popular girl and then following him as he conquers the world and makes all the haters sorry.

Jess Harvell described Audion as the alias songwriter and producer Matthew Dear uses for "raw, sawtooth techno." Dear has a bunch of new Audion material coming up. The plan is to release new tracks online via his Audion website and then bundle them together as 12"s and, eventually, an album, to be released through Ghostly International's Spectral Sound imprint. "I Am the Car" is the first in the series, and it's a dark, muted, and atmospheric affair that gradually builds over its almost 10-minute length. You can get the mp3 with an email sign-up here.

The new Crooked Fingers EP, Your Control, is a bit of an indie rock all-star session. There are two covers of Eric Bachman tunes by other artists (Spoon's Britt Daniel covers "Run, Lieutenant, Run", Lambchop's Kurt Wagner's covers "Sweet Marie", and then the Mae Shi turn in a remix of the title track. Speaking of which, "Your Control" is streaming now on the Crooked Fingers MySpace, and it's a duet between Eric Bachmann and Neko Case.
