TV ON THE RADIO releases Dear Science today; the new video is "Golden Age."

NEW RELEASES: The Raveonettes, Blitzen Trapper, Golden Smog, Old Crow Medicine Show and Cold War Kids are among those with albums streaming this week via Spinner.

CONOR OBERST talks to Tulsa World about recording, songwriting and why his latest album is not Bright Eyes.

DAVID BYRNE talks to Pitchfork about subjects from music to bike racks.

ANI DI FRANCO did the four free songs thing for Daytrotter.

THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME nominees are announced.  The Stooges and Wanda Jackson should have gotten in last year!  Future Rock Hall has all the eligibles who have been snubbed.  It's a good excuse to link to the classic Stooges video of "TV Eye" and "1970" from the Cincinnati Pop Festival for your Twofer Tuesday.  BONUS: Wanda Jackson belts out "Hard-Headed Woman" on the old Town Hall Party.

BASIA BULAT is humble about her multi-instrumentalism in the Boston Globe.

NICO: Former Velvet Underground bandmate John Cale is curating a tribute to the late chanteuse, with singers including Peter Murphy and Mark Lanegan.

LINDSAY LOHAN is buying a £2.5 million love-nest in NYC's famous Dakota building for her and galpal Samantha Ronson, according to the uber-reliable News of the World.

THE EMMYS hit an all-time ratings low.  I'm not surprised.  If Mad Men had not been nominated, I would have bailed on that stinker of a show about 5 minutes in.  But I think it also reflects that critically acclaimed like Mad Men, 30 Rock and John Adams did not have big audiences in the first instance.

MAD MEN: Executive producer Matthew Weiner and actors Jon Hamm and John Slattery discuss the madness of Madison Avenue circa 1960 on NPR's Fresh Air (Season One spoilers).  Hamm is hosting SNL on October 25.

IRAN could be hiding a secret nuclear program, according to UN watchdogs. Shocka.
