I didn't catch it until I saw it on Videogum today, but apparently Sonic Youth appeared doing an acoustic set on Gossip Girl last night. You can watch the clip above (they start about 1:15 in) and catch the full episode recap by clicking the via Videogum link.

Unreleased Bob Dylan Song on NCIS

via Pitchfork

In the past Bob Dylan had been outspoken against lending his music/likeness to the entertainment industry, but he's noticeably changed his stance in the last decade. He's appeared, along with his music, in Victoria's Secret commercials. Cool to find out that his next venture into the entertainment industry will have his music being used in the CBS show NCIS. The show will actually premier an unreleased track called "California", from the Bringing It All Back Home era. As an added promotional tie-in, the song will also be featured on the second volume release of the show's soundtrack.

Saw this Levis ad this Sunday and finally found it on The Playlist blog. It uses music by Final Fantasy and gives off a really great vibe. Definitely would like to see more commercials like this.

This is the Cleveland Show

Last night marked the Fall season's premier of the FOX Sunday Animation Domination lineup. With new episodes of The Simpsons and Family Guy came a spin-off of the latter, called The Cleveland Show. I'll reserve judgment for a few more episodes to see how it turns out, but I enjoyed what I saw. Particularly the show's theme song, which complements the cool '70s-style animation with a '70s sitcom inspired sound. The theme song (and remainder of the episode) are embedded above, and you can also watch the full thing at Hulu.

Mos Def and Damon Dash to Produce Documentary on Punk Band Death

via The Playlist

Mos Def and former Rocafella exec. Damon Dash will be collaborating as producers of a documentary on the recently rediscovered proto-punk band Death. The band underwent a revival earlier this year when Drag City released their lost album ...For the Whole World to See. I'm pretty hyped to see the results when this movie is released as I'm a big fan of both Mos Def and Death. Should be interesting to see what his unique vision brings to the project. Music video directors Coodie & Chike are set to direct the doc.

Death's release For the Whole World to See was released earlier this year on Drag City. You can buy it here.
