Morning Buzz: Vin Diesel, Modest Mouse, Tig Notaro

:: I’m not sure what’s weirder, that Vin Diesel was a rapper or that someone thought it would be a good idea to pair him with Arthur Russell.

:: Speaking of strange collaborations, Big Boi will be producing the new Modest Mouse album.

:: And speaking of strange in general, Of Montreal’s art director (yeah, they have an art director) David Barnes revealed his next book project: the story of a pregnant male football player and the inner workings of his fetus’ mind.

:: Secretly Canadian is putting out its first comedy album after signing the inimitable Tig Notaro.

:: Music sales are up, just not in the way many record labels would prefer.

:: I’ve got some good news and some bad news. Radiohead is playing The King of Limbs in its entirety on the BBC, but it’s the only performance scheduled for the foreseeable future. I’ll let you decide which part is good and which is bad…

:: Manchester Orchestra is hoping to release an album of b-sides later this year.

:: Random tracks that don’t suck:

The Sea and Cake – Up on the North Shore
Hunting Club – The Coast
Explosions in the Sky – Trembling Hands

    this is why we should be friends in real life. not buzzgrinder life. our sarcasm runs rampant, like our chronic back pains.
