Dave Matthews Band saxophonist LeRoi Moore, who played with the group since its inception in 1991, died today. He was 46. The musician was recently readmitted to the hospital for injuries stemming from a June 30th ATV accident on his farm outside Charlottesville. The band is still scheduled to play the Staples Center in Los Angeles tonight (Bela Fleck saxophonist Jeff Coffin has been filling in) according to TMZ, which has a statement from the band.

There’s also a performance of “On The Water,” and despite how much we love You & Me, it’s the awesomely awkward banter that’s worth the click. Also it’s a nice guide of things not to try and small talk about with Ham: inspiration, buses, Paul Shaffer, anything at all. Watch it at Fox 5.

This week’s Drop comes from Texas indie rockers Centro-matic. The previously unreleased wintry tune was produced by the band and Matt Pence during sessions for double-LP Dual Hawks, which is composed of half Centro-matic songs and half South San Gabriel songs. Both bands are led by songwriter Will Johnson, who answered our questions about wrapping gifts and donning gay apparel while giving us a listen to Centro-matic’s “Christmas 83 (Make Fun Of My Sweaters).” Put your ears on it here.

Also … got a valid passport? Interested in beautiful music and people? This week we’re giving one entrant (and a guest of their choosing) a flight and tickets to the annual Iceland Airwaves festival.

A slab of Ssion is always a great way to the end the day, so let’s get into it. Ssion man Cody Critcheloe remains busy: He took a director’s credit on Tilly & The Wall’s Beat Control,” gave his mom a punk makeover in “Ah-Ma,” and later hit us with the trashy radness of “Day Job.” And yet none of that prepared me for Cody’s latest directorial effort, this time for Fools Gold track “A Wolves Eye,” which he describes as “David Lynch-meets-Jean Paul Gaultier with a little big of Gregg Araki and the scent of Jean Paul Gaultier (that’s the cologne I wear).” Incredibly, after watching it that all makes sense! The video is set to a version of the song that’s slowed, compliments of J.A.M., which makes for icy synths and dark beats that fit the fireside ritualism and druid sleaze sorta perfectly. I wouldn’t say this is NSFW, but we posted it late because, maybe you’ll just get less questions if you watch it from home.
