BISHOP ALLEN: "Dimmer" is the latest video from their GRRR album.

SXSW: All Songs Considered rolls out a streaming preview of the big fest down in Austin, while Amazon has a free 11-track sampler for download.  But, wait! There's more! At iMeem!

THE RUMBLE STRIPS do the four free songs thing for Daytrotter, all previously unreleased.

THE JESUS & MARY CHAIN get a nifty historical essay at the newly-redesigned Pitchfork.

NEKO CASE talks to The A.V. Club about listening to herself, making the Middle Cyclone album, and more...

IRAN: It would be difficult to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and hard to tell which combination of carrots and sticks might convince Iran's leaders to abandon that goal, the US Director of National Intelligence, Dennis Blair, told the Senate Tuesday. Reminder: A nuclear Iran will likely set off an arms race in the Middle East.

AFGHANISTAN: Heavy layers of body armor  may be an impediment to winning the fight in Afghanistan, according to the AP. The proper balance between troop safety and mobility will be examined this week during a series of oversight hearings by the House Appropriations defense subcommittee.  The reality is that the same tradeoffs existed in Iraq, where some were bent on making body armor a political issue.  Apparently, it's now okay to have grown-up discussions about difficult choices.

IRAQ: A suicide bomber struck Sunni and Shiite tribal leaders and high-ranking security officials touring a market after a reconciliation meeting west of Baghdad on Tuesday. Baath party hardliners led by Iraq's executed president Saddam Hussein's number two on Tuesday spurned repeated calls for national reconciliation from the "traitors" of the new government.
