She Wants Revenge live at KCRW

Coolfer understands both sides of the debate on the band She Wants Revenge. The con side loathes the Interpol coattailing and Johnny-come-lately opportunism. The pro side loves the unadorned hooks and the dry, dark tales of relationships. Both sides will affirm their opinions when viewing these video clips of She Wants Revenge performing in the KCRW studio. The station is on the pro side of the debate, as is Los Angeles -- a huge chunk of the bands sales are from its home market. Coming up: a U.S. tour opening for Depeche Mode.

• The Times Online (UK) has podcasts with bands that mix interviews with song clips. Currently the offerings include the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kanye West, Graham Coxon, Corrinne Baily Ray, Ryan Adams, Editors and others. Go to the Times' podcast page for a full list. To be honest, Coolfer can't make it through most podcasts. Too boring. These, though, are well done.

• AOL Music's Full CD Listening Party has the usual selection of new releases. Up right now are Tim McGraw's Greatest Hits Vol. 2, Yeah Yeah Yeah's Show Your Bones, Rob Zombie's Educated Horses, Matt Costa's Songs We Sings, Ghostface's Fishscale and one that sounds like a peppy, Midwestern Death Cab, The Dust of Retreat by Margot and the Nuclear So and So's
