Video: Morrissey on Conan

Moz’s next album has been delayed due to a few record label snags, but that hasn’t stopped the ex-Smiths frontman from unleashing numerous new songs on the masses. Back in June, Morrissey debuted three fresh cuts on BBC Radio in the UK, including “Action Is My Middle Name,” “The Kid’s a Looker, and “People Are the Same Everywhere.” Now the latter track has been premiered Stateside, as Moz took to Conan O’Brien’s late-night show on TBS last night for a fired up take on the tune.

While Morrissey wasn’t there to promote the aforementioned album that’s currently shelved, forthcoming U.S. and Mexico tour dates are on the itinerary for the rest of 2012. Perhaps this won’t be a taste of what’s to come on the record, but it should definitely give you an idea of what to expect from one of those shows. Check out the video replay above.

Bon Iver, ‘Hinnom, TX’ Video

Bon Iver’s doubly self-titled sophomore LP, Bon Iver, Bon Iver, will be getting the deluxe treatment in a matter of hours, as iTunes is set to re-release the 10-track set along with music videos for each cut tomorrow. A preview of the collection arrived early today, though, when Time Magazine premiered this gorgeous treatment for “Hinnom, TX.” At first glance, it’s just a simple, color-treated clip capturing moments from somebody’s road trip via well-paced slow motion with a poignant effect. But three spins so far today and I must say this thing becomes more gut-wrenchingly beautiful with repetition — recalling my own trips across the country and all the fading yet glorious scenery I’ve passed through while moving forward into a still-unknown future. In short, let’s say it does the song justice quite well, while the longer version of my take just might require a chat amid 4 days of 12-hour drives.

Off we go:
