Another week, another Mercury music section to read while you file separation papers with Joy Division Divorce Attorneys. Wow, that is a great law firm name, way better than a swinger's club called Unknown Pleasures.

Evidently restraining orders don't apply to the phone lines because Ned Lannamann talked to Zooey Deschanel about She & Him, writing songs, and visiting Portland. To be fair, she had that restraining order coming. He's just not that into you, okay?
LISTEN:

She & Him - "Thieves"

Sample-by-sample we look at the finest work of DJ Shadow. If he wants to buy my LP copy of Pat Boone with the First Nashville Jesus Band he can, but that thing is near-mint, no way I am selling it for less than two bucks.
LISTEN:

DJ Shadow - "Midnight in a Perfect World"

Boom! relocate to Portland are taken in by the house show community. Oh, and SE 72nd and Woodstock is hella racist.
LISTEN:

Boom! - "Okkk"

End Hits: I think Boom! needs to play an all-Blazers set under the name Boom!shakalaka. They can cover "Bust a Bucket."
