As previously mentioned, after a spate of final shows Trent Reznor is putting NIN on "indefinite hiatus." Today he announced the exact dates and sites of the ten "Wave Goodbye" outings: They begin at the end of August with four nights in New York City before stops in Chicago and Los Angeles, and you'll find them at the bottom of this post. But before he goes off into the sunset or whatever, Trent decided to impart some wisdom to all the younger acts who've yet to amass hundreds of thousands of Twitter followers. Pay attention, class.

In addition to speaking in sexy French accents, here Phoenix perform "Lisztomania," "1901," and the older "One Time Too Many." You've likely already seen performances of those tracks, but things get stripped down in the Spinner studios -- acoustic, no drums -- which adds a janglier feel to the Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and It's Never Been Like That songs. If you stick around for the interview, you'll see them talk about why they chose bands like Passion Pit and Chairlift to open for them, what they like about Fleet Foxes and Grizzly Bear, and the best thing about being in a band.

"First Train Home," the opening song on Ellipse, Imogen Heap's forthcoming third studio album, is also its first single. It's a driving, electro-tinged track about getting home ASAP, among other things. The English singer-songwriter recently made a bit of a racket when an unopened watermarked copy of Ellipse belonging to a London journalist showed up on eBay. As the Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy Blog reports, she requested (via Twitter) that her fans jokingly bid on it. They responded, getting it into the millions before eBay decided to stop the auction. Not sure if there are any lessons to take home there -- it's not quite as dramatic as this -- but here's your chance to see if it was worth the trouble.

Indie Rockers Promote It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia • There's a new viral promo for the FX series featuring fans singing "Dayman." Videogum calls it the "Single Ladies" of bored middle class white children with great taste in low budget cable market comedy programming! Ted Leo and of Montreal are in it!

After Sally Shapiro's overcast "Miracle" and subsequent extended Bogdan Irkük remix, its seemed like a positive sign that she'd found "Love In July," but turns out this new track's not without its own tears, regrets, melancholic longing, and sad spoken words. For the Paul Leeny and David Loom-created clip, the unrepentant Swedish italo-disco romantic takes the backseat to the story of a lonesome fishbowl-bound goldfish and an iceberg-bound whale.

We last checked in on Fox's So You Think You Can Dance when a couple of contestants moved their feet to Junior Boys' "In the Morning." That felt like more than enough, but the show's returned to our radar because this time a dozen folks dressed appropriately in red and black faux-military garb got theatrical to the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army." It was choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon (he loves war) and it's sort of like Les Mis meets "Rhythm Nation."
