Another week, another Mercury music section to ignore while you bump Matisyahu's new Hanukkah song. Because it's not like the Jews have suffered enough.

This is simply the best Leonard Cohen article you will read today. It also contains the phrase "dapper old Jew," which is just a shout out to our homie Matisyahu.
LISTEN:

Leonard Cohen - "Chelsea Hotel #2" (Live at the Casino De Montreux)

A talk with Les Savy Fav about punk rock, day jobs, and Matisyahu. Okay, well, two out of three. (No more Matisyahu references, I promise.)

Les Savy Fav - "Sleepless in Silverlake"

All Archers, no loaf. The energetic local act releases one hell of a seven-inch that captures the attention of UK label, Heavenly Recordings.
LISTEN:

Archers - "Brussels Truffles"

Despite what my better half says, Bedouin Soundclash don't sound a damn thing like Sublime. This includes offshoot band Sublime with Rome as well.
LISTEN:

Bedouin Soundclash - "Brutal Hearts"

Local female emcee trio Rose Bent hold it down for all the ladies.
WATCH:
Rose Bent - "Let Me Entertain"
