No the above art is not the cover of the next Jimmy Buffet Greatest Hits disc (that will surely be released again this summer for all you middle aged Orange County Coconuts). That colorful island flavor will wrap the next Animal Collective single Summertime Clothes 12". "Summertime Clothes" will be Animal Collective's second single off of hyclaimed (see what I did there hyped and acclaimed together...) Merriweather Post Pavilion. With June 21st slowly but surely approaching the single will be just in time for us to all put on some "Summertime Clothes." The 12" will release on July 7 via Domino Records and will also include three remixes of the track from Zombie, Dam-Funk, and L.D. A video will also be made by director Danny Perez (responsible for "Who Could Win a Rabbit" video).

According to Pitchfork, Jack White's involvement in the Memphis community is expanding beyond his cash only Third Man Records. White will be giving Nashville Mayor, Karl Deacon, advice on how to keep the Music City, musically relevant.
The Associate Press reports, Jack has become a member of Nashville's 46-member Music Business Council. The Council's goal is to further the town's reputation as a music town (what Los Angeles is to film, New York is to fashion, Nashville must be to music). The Nashville MBC is "expected to advise on initiatives including the construction of a downtown amphitheater, the expansion of the CMA Music Festival, the creation of a new, non-country festival and the enhancement of music education." Any arts initiative is worth getting input from one of the leading creative minds in the "biz." (musically or otherwise)
