Video: Grizzly Bear's "Yet Again" Performance On 'Ellen' Finally Airs
Better late than never, right? Last month, Grizzly Bear filmed a performance of Shields single "Yet Again" for The Ellen DeGeneres Show which was apparently shelved until today's episode. Apparently, they're one of Ellen's all-time favorite bands… so I'm guessing she was simply enjoying the clip in the comfort of her home for a month before finally deciding to air it.

Arctic Monkeys performed a brand-new song titled "Do I Wanna Know?" last night at the Majestic Ventura Theater in Ventura, CA, the lead date of their 2013 tour and first show since the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony last July. A slow-burning, tightly wound bit of business, the song will presumably show up on their still super secretive fifth album, expected out later this year.

Cat Power Vows To "Leave America" In Bizarre Instagram Rant
No judgments or thoughts, really, but yes, Cat Power's Chan Marshall did post a truly bizarre rant on the official Cat Power Instagram account yesterday, promising to "leave America" due to the "powers that be" "[raping] this earth with its lies, protection of wealth, and vicious slayings."

Lee Ranaldo Teases Upcoming Sonic Youth Reissues, Archival Releases

As the future of Sonic Youth remains atop the proverbial fence following Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon's divorce announcement, second guitarist Lee Ranaldo has become something of a mouthpiece for the legendary indie rockers (currently on indefinite hiatus) while also touring behind and promoting his new fantastic new solo album Between The Times & The Tides (listen here). Relations are still understandably "tender" between the four long-time band mates, but in the meantime, Ranaldo confirms that there are plenty of new projects in the works to keep Sonic Youth fans busy until the group's hopeful return.

| Related… Lee Ranaldo: Sonic Youth Are Done "For A While" |

As discussed in a new interview with BBC Radio 5's Sam Huxley, Ranaldo revealed that the band is working on compiling and mixing unused demos from their 1987 classic Sister for a possible deluxe edition reissue while also editing a 1986 tour video and working on a handful of different concert recordings for a planned series of live album releases.

"Sometimes we'll listen back to [this stuff] and barely recognize the songs... because they've taken on a new character live," explains Ranaldo. "So we thought it would be really cool to find representative recordings from every period in our career, and make new releases that loosely correspond to different records, and let the audience see how the songs shifted or grew or expanded in a live context."

You can listen to the entirety of Ranaldo's interview right here. In the meantime, though, let us know what you think of Sonic Youth's tumultuous "long-term hold" and what archival materials you'd love to see released (or re-released) by hitting up our comments section below.
