Psapp, the group best known for licensing the theme song to the television show "Gray's Anatomy", is beginning to blow-up. That would be the London duo you've come to love by way of their ultracool album "The Only Thing I Ever Wanted." But pay attention here, and get ready to program your TiVo: Just yesterday, the band let it slip on their blog that they'll be featured on MTV2's "Subterranean" this coming Sunday. Special bonus: The show will be hosted by the New Pornographers. And if you find yourself with still more time to burn at work, in the libe, or at the coffee shop—have you played the Psapp video game yet?

Earlier: Psapp stop by The Current and lay down a few tunes.

Uh, we're pretty sure we never wondered that... but we think we understand the point you're trying to make. Readers, do you concur? (Hint: Give a listen to this week's Weekly Download!)

When it rains it pours. Just to make sure their worldwide domination is more than a flash-flood warning, Tapes 'N Tapes have officially released "Cowbell," along with a video. To which we can only say: "More Cowbell!" Or maybe: "I gotta have more Cowbell." Or maybe: "I got a fever. And the only presecription is--more Cowbell!"
