IFC has just launched a new independent music blog they’re calling Indie Ear. Spearheaded by Jim Shearer, formerly of MTV’s 120 Minutes and Subterranean, the site looks very promising. We’re of course very honored that Indie Ear chose Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond to inaugurate its Q&A section, wherein Shearer grills Shara on cheerleading, stage costumes, and being mistaken for a hiphop DJ. You can visit Indie Ear here, and read the interview with Shara here.

Also, consider this a reminder to those of you that might have been lucky enough to buy tickets already: MBD is opening for The National at the Brooklyn Academy of Music to sold-out crowds on Friday and Saturday night. The National always put on a fantastic show, and Shara will be playing with string quad Osso, so it should be quite a round. For those that bought tickets of course.
