  Les Savy Fav Score Deluxx Fluxx Arcade 

  Les Savy Fav are known for their rambunctious live show but their recorded music isn’t bad either.  Now, the New York based band is lending  that recorded music for an unconventional purpose, scoring an art exhibit. Records by the group will serve as the sound track for Deluxx Fluxx Arcade, an arcade themed installation by artist collective Faile.  The arcade, or artcade as I call it, features fully functional games with imagery created by Faile. Deluxx Fluxx Arcade will be open until May 27th at 158 Allen Street.  More on the story at Gothamist here.

  NYC Venue Market Hotel Goes Non-Profit 

  Market Hotel is one of the most influential, and best, venues in New York’s burgeoning DIY scene, hosting acts such as Japanther and Sleigh Bells amongst thousands of others. The clandestine and cavernous Bushwick show space has operated in a legal grey area since it’s induction, unlicensed but never seriously threatened by law enforcement. However, earlier this month Market Hotel was shut down mid show by the NYPD. Now the venue hopes to remain in business by making that business a non profit. More info here.

  Facebook and Pandora To Integrate 

  Facebook is the webs most popular social networking site. While Myspace has done little to update their cluttered platform Facebook has continued to innovate, gaining momentum in the process. Still, despite Facebook’s soaring popularity Myspace still is the #1 name in the music game. Facebook apps like iLike have thus far done little to erode Myspace’s grasp on the music market, but Facebooks new music move could be its most effective yet. Facebook announced today that it is integrating its system with Pandora to create a more social version of the streaming giant. More info here.

  The National Stream New Album Via New York Times 

  When an album gets leaked bands and labels often try to downplay the leak. When The National’s forthcoming album, High Violet, leaked the band took a different approach. Instead of sweeping the leak under the rug the Brooklyn based band decided to leak their own, high quality, version, streaming it on The New York Times website. You can check out High Violet starting Friday at The New York Times more info at the Nationals blog here.

  River to River Announces Partial Line-up 

  This blog is a resource for musicians. Every musician is also a music fan and most musicians are pretty broke. Keeping those things in mind, I thought it would make sense to let everyone know that the River to River festival in NYC (which is free) has announced part of its summer line-up. River to River usually has on point booking, and this summer is no exception. Scheduled for the summer heat: Bear in Heaven on July 9, Thee Oh Sees on July 16, Free Energy and Best Coast on July 23, Avi Buffalo on July 30, and YACHT on August 6. More to be announced soon. More info here. Plan on being there.

  Study: Twitter Piques Interest 

  Lots of people link to videos using their Twitter accounts. But how effective is Twitter as a video distributor? A new study of online video viewing habits by TubeMogul Brightcove has yielded some surprising results. Internet users who stumble upon videos via Twitter watch longer than users who find videos via search. The difference is nothing to sneeze at either; users who click through to videos on Twitter watch for an average of 2:30 in compared to the 1:30 users who find videos via search. For more info on the study check it out here.
