    A couple of weeks ago we introduced you to a great new band from New York City called The Dig. As part of that introduction we posted an interview and an acoustic performance of their song “Penitentiary”. We are happy to now share with you the second two songs that these guys performed for us. The Dig’s first album, Electric Toys, is out now. if you like what you hear, you can buy the album here. For the time being, we hope you enjoy The Dig performing acoustic versions of “You’re Already Gone” and “Feel Like Somebody Else”. Thank you once again to Stout Irish Pub in San Diego for kindly allowing us access.

    Bob Dylan, who has been painting since the 1960s (he created the cover of the Band’s Music From Big Pink) will have new paintings and drawings on display at Denmark’s Statens Museum for Kunst September 4th through January 30th. “It was an honor to be asked and a thrilling challenge,” Dylan said in a statement about the collection, called “Brazil Series,” which he created exclusively for the museum. “I chose Brazil as a subject because I have been there many times and I like the atmosphere.” Inspired by early 20th century American realism and painters like Matisse, Dylan depicts politicians, gamblers, wine growers, and other denizens of Brazil. The exhibit will feature 40 acrylic paintings and eight drawings. See five “Brazil Series” paintings, plus earlier artwork by Dylan, in this gallery.

    By Katrina Nattress
    Yeasayer has teamed up with renowned artist and video director Andreas Nilsson (MGMT, Fever Ray, Moby, José González) to create a bizarre and poignant, humorous and heartfelt video for the bands newest single off Odd Blood, “Madder Red.”

    Kristen Bell, the cutesy star of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Veronica Mars, plays the lead, mourning over her beloved “pet,” which happens to be a throbbing, oozing sac of vestigial limbs with kind, blue eyes that you can’t help but love.

    While an official announcement about Tyler has yet to come from Fox and the producers of the top-rated show, the source told The Associated Press on Wednesday, “there is no reason to refute” Tyler’s account. The source spoke only on the condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to comment publicly on the matter.

    By Myles Crawley
    One of the many things that I absolutely love about working with Project Rhythm Seed is the free music. We receive new CD’s and album downloads quite regularly from the many PR/publicity firms that we work with. So many that quite honestly there are times when CD’s pile up for a bit before getting opened and listened to. In the same such manner I recently became aware of a new band from New York called The Dig. I received their new CD, Electric Toys, in a stack with about 10 others. It took me about a week to get down to listening to them, but oh what a pleasant surprise for me when I finally did.
