It’s a Tuesday night at 2Kolegas, a squat, rundown bar at the edge of an anachronistic drive-in movie theater. In a joint packed with local denizens and cigarette smoke, it’s a crush to find standing room, much less a deep breath. Tonight’s bill includes Islaja, a Finnish electronic loopmaker, recently off of her tour opening for Animal Collective; a red-draped Japanese-Korean duo named 10, which deploys a laptop and a bevy of toys for its sound; and Knyfe Hyts, a mask-wearing sludge-rock trio from Brooklyn. A Chinese saxophonist named Li Tieqiao joins the latter band on stage, the resulting sound not unlike something off The Stooges’ Funhouse: raucous, noisy and full-bore. The crowd goes nuts. Just another night in Beijing.

It's like Christmas in April for Björk fans. No, she didn’t demand independence for another national liberation movement. Instead, she released a jaw-dropping music video for "Wanderlust." Although we’ll still have to wait a week for the 3-D version, you can feast your eyes on the 2-D premiere over at Yahoo Music. You can also hop on over to Bjork’s website and watch the The Making of "Wanderlust" video or pick up a pair of free 3-D glasses courtesy of your favorite Icelandic pop star.
Elsewhere on the web, our buddies over at Stereogum also recently released Enjoyed: A Tribute to Björk’s Post. The record is the music blog’s latest addition to the "Stereogum Presents…" compilation series, and boy howdy is it a good one. Check out the stellar tracklisting below:
1. Liars - "Army Of Me"
2. Dirty Projectors - "Hyperballad"
3. High Places - "Modern Things"
4. Bell - "It's Oh So Quiet"
5. Pattern Is Movement - "Enjoy"
6. Evangelicals - "You've Been Flirting Again"
7. Xiu Xiu - "Isobel"
8. Final Fantasy & Ed Droste - "Possibly Maybe"
9. White Hinterland - "I Miss You"
10. El Guincho - "Cover Me"
11. Atlas Sound - "Headphones"
Sterogum previously released covers compilations for R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People and Radiohead's Ok Computer. And if anyone is taking requests over there, how about a little "Stereogum Presents Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted," huh? Do it!
