Tom Morello at the Croc.

-- NPR Music: Hear I Heart California, the new album from Admiral Radley, featuring the folks from Earlimart and Grandaddy.

-- NY Times: Compliment or not? "Most of the time Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel, the married couple who make up Mates of State, sing insistent, almost nagging chants propelled by quick-pulse organ and drums."

-- NME: Tom Morello's Street Sweeper Social Club releases a new EP, The Ghetto Blaster, next month, featuring covers of MIA's "Paper Planes" and LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out."

-- SPIN: Check out the video for She & Him's Thieves. This is Zooey Deschanel in her element.

-- Rolling Stone: Wilco has ditched Nonesuch and is considering self-releasing its next album, due in early 2011.
