WNHUs Playlist Adds For This Week + Exclusive Ben Folds Interview! Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan, Karen O, Chiddy Bang, Deerhunter, Jack Johnson

Another week, another set of great new releases in the music world!

Before the playlist, a word. It’s 2010. Right. That’s a new decade actually. So all of this music that’s been happening ALL FREAKIN’ YEAR I’ve been tagging 00’s….WRONG. That decade is so over and done with. Let the great re-tagging begin! Well, not now, but I did do it for this entry and I will probably get to it some time in November! Now that’s progress for you!

Enjoy these new adds! The Karen O song is from the Jackass 3D soundtrack….I feel like that’s a really weird collaboration, but I support it. I’m also happy to see that Jack Johnson hasn’t changed…I mean, he’s got his thing, and he does it well. You go, boy! And I’ve been singing “Ras Trent” all week, so I like singing Andy Samberg in his video, though I think it got in the way of the music waayyyy too much.

Also, Kristen Bayusik had the joy and privilege of interviewing Benny McFolderstein [read: Ben Folds] about his new collaborative album with Nick Hornby. I will be writing more about this album soon because Nick Hornby is my all-time favorite author of life—maybe even one of my all-time Top 10 desert island favorite people—and because Ben Folds earned serious respect from me for being insightful and intelligent despite sitting next to Nicole Scherzinger on The Sing Off last Christmas—I feel like sitting next to her may have an FDA warning for killing off brain cells, but he survived! Nay, thrived! JK guys, I like Ben Folds’ for his great musicality and unique sound.

ANYHOW, Kristen gave me the MP3 for the exclusive interview, and I’ve got it for you! Right down there!!
