tour. Only this time it's not a farewell tour

We are officially part of the Love Beck 4Ever blog.
Seriously, this guy keeps pumping out videos for his
new album The Information like a Catholic
more fertile than the Nile. The guy keeps
adding tour dates as well, albeit sporadically, so
keep an eye out. He's in Philly this upcoming
week on the 23rd at Tower Theatre. But if you can't
catch the flesh-n-blood thing, at least you have a
digital version of each of the songs off this
masterpiece.
Bet you guys never thought we'd get our Podcast
off the ground. Neither did we so, all is
forgiven. But we are finally taking off and
what better maiden voyage than an interview with
Cold War Kids and a sampling off their new album
Robbers and Cowards.
For the full 411 on the album, you can check out
our review section or
click here. To get to
know the band a bit more and hear some sampling,
check out the podcast by
clicking here.
Fat Jon & Styrofoam have released their new
collaborative work entitled The Same Channel
this week. While you'll have to read our
thoughts in the full review [click
here], we did want to give you a sample
of what the Cincinnati underground hip-hop sensation
and Belgium mix master sounded like.
Visually, it's like Python meets Mel Brooks.
Lyrically, it's just fresh and fits the mood of
'Space Gansta'.
Sure it's the worst name a band has thought up
since The Monkeys but you can't hold that against
them. They may not think their name is silly but
they definitely have something to say about music
today. We recently spoke with the band and
frontman Jason Bell who recalled most of the music
he heard on the radio today 'crap' and satellite was
the way to go. He's probably in bed with Bob
Lefitz and his iconoclastic ways to turn the world
all things Sirrus. But, you can't blame the band -
especially, when they sound this good. To prove it,
the band is hitting the road with The Twilight
singers around the US and making a stop at the CMJ
Music Festival in New York as well.

The Walkmen, full of much adored press as of
late, have taken a project under their wings.
Instead of heading back to the studio to lay down
new stuff, they instead took a 180 and are releasing
a cover album of John Lennon. Pussy Cats
was originally recorded by Lennon back in 1974
during a 'lost weekend' in which the artist
separated from Yoko. Nilsson, Keith Moon and Ringo
Star all lent a hand originally.
Now the Walkmen are taking their interpretation
of the album. Pussy Cat by The Walkmen
will be available on October 24th in a CD/DVD format
that not only includes the reworked entire album but
a short about the original stint called 'In Loving
Recollection'.
Legendary guitarist
Peter Walker is hitting the road to support his
upcoming release A Raga for Peter Walker.
Those unsure of the artist - he release an album
called Rainy Day Raga back in 1969 and then
just disappeared, despite the admiration the album
received. The album will include four new
songs from Walker as well as tracks inspired by
Walker from many of those who look to his work for
their own including James Blackshaw, Greg Davis,
Jack Rose, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, Steffen
Basho-Junghans and Shawn David McMillen.
Catch the man on tour
starting next month. The album will be released days
before the tour on November 7th.

Don't fuck with the DJ. Juan Maclean apparently
lept out during a show at the DFA gig on Friday
October 13th in Atlanta's The Earl. He
proceeded to beat the life out of a drunk fan who
reportedly was messing with his gear.
Note to fans: don't touch Juan's shit.
Not to be outdone by word of mouth, the DJ went
to his boards to report the incident first hand:
"What really happened is this: I was in the
middle of mixing two records, and this drunken yahoo
walks up to the stage, picks up a microphone stand,
and starts beating the table that the decks were on
with it, which of course sends the mix into total
trainwreck. I yelled at him and he laughed at me.
From there, I don't know what to say except that he
fucked with the wrong person. I walked up to him and
short story is I, as was said, 'beat him down.' It
totally bummed everyone out. HE got thrown out, I
went back and finished, but all the girls had left,
the vibe was horrible."
Bring the brass knuckles if you plan to see him
live.

The beautifully haunting vocals of Amy Annelle
under the mantra The Places is hitting the road to
support her recently released Songs For Creeps
this week. If you are a fan of advent folk
music - you need to buy this album:
"Folk is a trick pony that can be altered to so
many fits that it often is played free of confusion
and altered paths just for the name sake. Amy
Annelle – better known for her label The Places,
strays free of these seemingly deep planted
formulaic roots on her sixth such effort Songs
for Creeps that is bewilderingly copasetic yet
anxiety ridden throughout its eccentric ways."

Psychadelica proven Midnight Movies are readying
their new album Lion the Girl, due out in
early next year. In the interim, the band has
plans to drop their first single, 'Patient Eye' on
iTunes on October 24th. The single will be
accompanied by a Syd Barrett cover 'Golden Hair'.
Guitarist Larry Schemel noted his affection for
Syd as an influence for the cover:
"We've always loved the way Syd Barrett adapted
this James Joyce poem into a very ominous yet
delicate kind of hymn."
You can catch a glimpse of the song below.
And if you are in the LA area, you can catch the act
on the road before they take the long trek across
the land in Spring of '07.

El Presidente may be dropping their self titled
album this week but Pensatos is dropping the bomb of
all music bombs in honor of its release. Sure
the review is coming but we can't rightfully leave
you hanging thru the week, can we?
Check out four (yes
4!) tracks from the album here to get your glam
groove on with these cheeky chic five piece outfit.
Four tracks - that's a third of the album you stingy
mathematicians!
Sean Lennon has some shoes to fill - or avoid
being trampled on by. As the son of legendary
Beatles and solo artist John Lennon, Sean has seen
his fair share of talent. And while his recent
effort Friendly Fire is much less
authoritative than Into the Sun, Lennon is
out to prove he is his own persona on the road.
Sean will be touring the US over the next two months
as part of his push for Friendly Fire.

The
historical music video piece for his first single
'Dead Meat' is below for your visual orgasmic
pleasures. Its just something we never thought
we'd say: Sean Lennon and Orgasmic. Goo.
It's like slowing down to see a wreck - you can't
help but look and hate yourself for doing so later.
Pete Doherty appeared in court today for an
evaluation on his rehab process and drug treatments.
The Babyshambles frontman recently moved from the
shady East End in which he occupied a small flat
that served as his den of iniquity for some time.
This time, though, district judge Jane Mclvor was
less than enthusiastic about the singers
improvements stating he still needs to make his
weekly appointments under the order - even though
counsel insisted he is seeing a separate narcotics
anonymous source other than his regular work with
The Priory - a high profile rehab clinic.
All of this will be revaluated once again in
January where we will - if all goes well - possibly
close this chapter of Doherty's uphill battle.
The Gorillaz group will be busy this fall and
autumn as the band plans to release several EPs, a
DVD of live performances and a book. On
November 2nd, the band will release Rise of the
Ogres in hardback print. The book, a
biography of the band will also feature numerous
visuals from creator Jamie Hewlett.
EP's 'Dare', 'Dirty Harry', 'Feel Good Inc.' and
'El Manan' will be released exculsively with iTunes
on October 24th, November 7th, December 2nd and 5th
- respectively - each containing both video and live
cuts of the songs along with new unreleased
material.
Finally, the DVD mentioned, Phase Two -
Slowboat to Hades will be released on October
31st and as stated will feature live cuts and short
films of the bands work.
As if that wasn't enough for any band-aid.
The troupe is currently flirting with studio work to
record a follow up to their massively successful
Demon Days. Of course, we'll keep you in the
know.
Impatiently waiting for the Nirvana remastered
documentary 'Live! Tonight! Sold Out! on DVD to be released
on November 13th? We understand.
That's why we have an excerpt for you from the
upcoming disc that will also feature live cuts from
their 91', 92' tour.
EMO folk fantastic group Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly
are currently making grand plans for the new year
when they will tour the UK. Lead Sam Duckworth
and his crew will play an eleven show stint that
will also celebrate his birthday on January 18th -
just a day after our HNIC's b-day. Send
presents please and we will totally re-gift in your
honor.

October 31st is less trick than treat this year
as we are getting a new album from The Residents
that day! Tweedles, the new full length
offered by the band under Mute Records is reportedly
a new direction for the band - if not local.
The band recorded the album in Romania (of
Transylvania fame), and features impromptu
recordings of street musicians, local ambient sounds
like church bells and traveling circuses.
Not impressed? The band has a trump card.
They had The Film Orchestra of Bucharest interpret
selections off their album as well. The cuts
were then layered to the electronic compositions for
a unique and moving sound - or so we're told.
Look for a review of the Tweedles in the
coming weeks.
Bonnie Prince is coming back around for a second
helping of entertainment. Cold & Wet -
the new 12" from the man will have a live version of
'The Way' as well as a BBC take of Kenny Loggins'
'Buried Treasure'.
No release date is set but it will be out in time
for your favorite post turkey stuffing or under your
Christmas tree or in place of a dradel.
Pete Doherty and his Babyshambles are getting
back to their old habits. No, not the needle
and the bottle. Well, maybe the bottle.
But my play on words is in reference to the fact
that the band is heading back onto the road.
Earlier this month, the act took a hiatous to
give lead singer Pete Doherty time to take off
for rehab assignments as he attempts to once again
kick his drug addictions.

The Shins front has been teasing us aplenty over
the past several months. First it was oft
played new album songs in sparse events. Then
the band enlisted the help of the audience to film
their concert during the show from their camera
phones - later to be complied into a video for a
single. Now it's just getting tease-silly.
Today, The Shins announced that their highly
anticipated album, Wincing The Night Away is due out
January 23rd of 2007.
The album, which was recorded earlier this summer
in Oregon, was aided by the bands singer James
Mercer and Joe Chiccarelli - whose resume includes
work with Beck and U2.
Getting excited yet? There's more so get the
clean undies ready. The band plans to release it's
first single 'Phantom Limb' on November 14th via

How do you lose the media and confuse critics
while pretty much equally destroying your mainstream
audience? If you are Pavement, you release the
chaotic album Wowee Zowee. Hot off the
success of Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, the band
dropped an atom bomb proportioned experimental
effort that freaked pretty much everyone out -
including their fans. In retrospect, its seen
as genius. Equally and rightfully so, Matador
is releasing a two CD Reissue of the album under the
Sordid Sentinels Edition mantra that will include
tons of extras. The remastered compilation contains
an embossed slipcase with 64 pages book about the
band, some fifty tracks - eighteen of which were
unreleased, BBC Sessions, Live shows, and tons more.

Don't ever call Thom Yorke a slouch. The
leader of Radiohead not only released some solo work
called Eraser this year and toured with the
group. But now he's confessing that they are
in fact back in the studio and on work for the
band's seventh album. 'No Way' you say? 'They
just got out of that mess!' you detest? Don't
believe us?
"We've started the record properly now. Staring
to get somewhere I think," states Yorke on the bands
official site.
You just never believe us, do you. But the
strange post went further to describe much needed
supporter reaction to the
www.thebigask.com
campaign in which the artist is urging the
government to reduce emissions thru legislation.
No word though on any window of time for the
albums release but don't hold your breath; you're
looking at spring likely. This would be the
band's first album since 2003's Hail to the Theif.
The Danish princes of ambience, Mew, are hitting
the road once again for a second go-around in the
States. After completing their tour with
Kasabian, the group is back at it but solo to take
all the credit they rightfully deserve.
We had a chance to see them live when they swept
through Chicago last and must say, their music is
twice as sweet live as it is in the studio - which
is fant-fuckin'-tabulous to say the least.
Danish Rolled Tour:
10-16 Neumos - Seattle, WA
10-17 Berbati's Pan - Portland, OR
10-19 Popscene - San Francisco, CA
10-21 El Rey - Los Angeles, CA
10-23 Bluebird Theatre - Denver, CO
10-25 Fine Line - Minneapolis, MN
10-26 Double Door - Chicago, IL
10-30 The Earl - Atlanta, GA
As we reported
last week, PJ
Harvey is in the studios working on her upcoming
Peel Sessions album but that's all we knew - until
now. The PJ camp is reporting updated release info
including tracks and compilation notes.
"John loved the sessions and was thrilled to have
Polly record so many for his show. He considered her
a wonderful artist and they were great friends. It's
fantastic that they're coming out on CD. I think
he'd be very proud," states the producer of the John
Peel Show Louise Kattenhorn.
The album is still scheduled for release at the
end of October. In the meantime, you can check
out some streams of two new songs; 'Sheela-NA-Gig'
and 'You Come Through'.

Grab your Rastamericanized open minded love and
get ready for the long overdue release of Serious
Times. Compiled of artists such as Sizzla and Morgan
Heritage to name a few, the dancehall cuts have been
reworked by the likes of NYC's Federation Sound Max
Glazer giving it a new form of energy and seduction.
A Dubplate of sorts that is continuous thruought.
But that's just disc one. The second half of the
package will include all the original cuts
remastered from their original 7" singles.
“We wanted to do something different with the
music, give it framing, context and bring it to life
it in a different way.” explains Knox Robinson, the
Brooklyn-based writer and producer of the
compilation. “The idea was to give the listener the
feeling of being at a reggae club at 4am, gladly
having already heard your favorite songs two or
three times and still anxiously waiting for a singer
to get on stage and blaze a few tunes."
Serious Times is a general reflection of such as
the Jamaican music scene is in an amazing flux and
movement. Don't believe us? You will on November 7th
when the album hits stores and our review page with
the final word. Ya-man.
