The best of blogworld, April 2

While I put the finishing touches on some lengthy upcoming posts, a few highlights from elsewhere in the blogosphere...

> Captain Obvious delivers another quality covers mixtape. This one features Stereophonics covering Sinead O'Connor and Wilco doing Big Star.

> Beth at A Cup of Coffey, a massive R.E.M. fan, posted clips of the band performing on the Today Show and her review of the new album. I haven't heard the record yet, but it's getting crazy-good press so I gotta get around to that soon...

>The Yellow Stereo is always a great place to find mp3s from the latest releases. The latest Daily Graboid features the Black Keys, Moby, and Astrid Williamson.

>Under the Rotunda posted a cool interview with Dan Snaith of Caribou. Forget transcribing - he just uploaded the audio of the chat. I have great respect for those who do on-air interviews, since my artist interviews are sometimes not that smooth (thank goodness for editing!)
