Independence day is a perfect time to reflect upon the independent-minded artists that the Interface has showcased. So far in 2008, the show has played host to soul queens on both sides of the pond with Brooklyn's Sharon Jones and England's Adele, all the way to the Southern sounds of the Drive-By Truckers.

We've compiled a special addition of the Interface with a special podcast, making the perfect soundtrack for your holiday. Next week the show will resume it's regularly scheduled programming with the World's greatest bar band, the Hold Steady.

It's 2008, but it sure sounds like '90s all over again with records dropping from the Lemonheads, Matthew Sweet and the Dandy Warhols in the coming months. Portland's psychedelic rock quartet are back in full swing with 'Earth to Dandy Warhols,' the bands sixth album. The record will surface on August 19, but you get a taste of the band's updated and untamed eclectic sound on 'The Legend of the Last of the Outlaw Truckers aka The Ballad of Sheriff Shorty.' Download the tune after the jump and check out tour dates.

Norwegian electronic dance duo Datarock -- Fredrik Saroea and Ketil Mosnes -- and their bright red tracktsuits recently stopped by the Interface, asserting first and foremost that the band is a combination of "the best parts of A-ha and the worst parts of Devo."

Amidst a bevy of jokes and jabs, the duo shoveled out performances of 'Fa Fa Fa' and 'Computer Camp Love' (replete with 'Grease' references), among others, off their self-titled album.

Catch all of the performances and the interview -- which finds Saroea and Mosnes discussing just what those tracksuits are made of (hint: it ain't all cotton), what influence 'ET' had on their career and why they make folks faint -- after the jump.

Nike tapped Kanye West's DMC winning DJ A-Trak for the latest installment of 'Nike + Original Run.' The 45-minute mix, dubbed 'Running Man,' intertwines dance floor-ready electro with hip-hop -- not straying too far from the whiz-kid's normal party-rockin' set. Grab an exclusive MP3 after the jump from the mix that drops today on iTunes.
