hola! been listening to the new cat power covers record dark end of the street, due out 12.9, and to be honest i have never really been a fan of her covers, but her version of the title track is quit stunning. this one is much more listenable, me thinks, maybe its the songs which include tracks by aretha, the pogues and ccr, but i think cause its only 6 tracks. it doesnt seem to go on forever, cause lets be honest her covers tend to be very samey, no matter the song.
here be my other lady, joanna newsom, performing at the paradiso. all my info other than the place, is at the crib so i will update when i return home.
ok, here’s a novel idea instead of re-packaging a record, kill them with kindness, and an ep thats already 2-3 years old, why dont ya, the jealous sound that is, just come out with a new one? granted said record and ep are absolutely grand, still it pains me that its taking so freakin long. as it turns out and according to their wiki page they released an ep, got friends on 10.14.08 which is only available via itunes. can anyone confirm or deny this ep’s existance? i dont use itunes, so any help would be appreciated. anywho, back to this repackaging. for 20.99 plus shipping you get the ep and full length on your choice of either baby blue or white vinyl. here’s a pic of the baby blue vinyl… looks pretty sweet, and if my turntable was still operational, i would probably pick one up. for more info, clicky here to pick one up.
in other news, if you havent checked out scott ford radio yet, you probably should. for those that dont know scott, he is the bassist for the gutter twins and the twilight singers and is a lovely human being. his station has something like 29,000 songs and it broadcasts in cd quality. so, if you are looking for an internets station look no further. scott ford radio can be found here.
in more other news, the uglysuit were recently in the daytrotter studios and they laid down some tracks. check it out, here. here is the first single from their most excellent touch and go debut.
sup, kiddies? hey you a jay bennett fan? you know, the guy that made wilco awesome. well, you can download his new record, whatever happened i apologize, for free via rock proper. rock proper is a recently launched distributor who, for at least the moment, are offering up their records for free. sounds like an excellent concept, lets wait and see how this pans out. clicky here to be taken to the rock proper site and to get the bennett record.
For those in Boston, I’ll be DJing at River Gods tonight with Chris Marstall as part of his Tourfilter thang.
We’ll be spinning tunes by bands playing Boston during the next month or so — everything from Wilco, Delta Spirit and Passion Pit to Aimee Mann, Ted Leo and Marissa Nadler. We’ve also got a stash of tix to Mercury Rev, King Khan and The Slip to give away care of LiveNation.
I am on 9-11pm, then Chris comes on. River Gods is at 125 River St, Cambridge, just outside Central Square. They gots good food (til 10), good drink (til 1) and good peoples (always).
Not on Tourfilter yet? If you are a showgoer, TF will be your new best friend. Track your favorite bands, pop em into your iCal, etc.
hola amigos! hope everyone is just lovely. i, for one, am just fine. i suppose, all things considered, i could be worse…. just wanted to let everyone know that as of about a week, broadcasterhouse.com will no longer exist, so if you have been putting off grabbing off something from there i would do it before thanksgiving. sadly, i just dont have the extra funds to keep it going. it may get brought back at a later date, who knows.
btw, its fucking cold here in herndon, va. not diggin it….
i like when complete strangers close their emails with “love” cause i have a penchant for signing mine with “xoxo.” short story, shorter, i got an email from new york songbird johanna samuels and said email was closed as such. anyway, her new ep a little bit of both is quite lovely and i love her old timey vocals. she sounds like she should be singin in daper dan comercial from the 20’s or something like that…. either way, check her out! her ep can be purchased somewhere, i suppose. check out her myspace…
While I was at Bill Janovitz last night watching Tom Perrotta rock “Powderfinger” on the guitar (dude can type. dude can rock), I was missing this: Wilco on The Colbert Report.
“Wilco is on the show tonight,” Colbert introduced earlier. “Their real fans will listen to the interview on vinyl.”
THE INTERVIEW
NEW SONG, “WILCO”
“Let me try to match your energy…. I think my endochrine system just stopped producing hormones.”
ummm, one thing that i kind of forgot about, actually not really forgot but chose to ignore, is having to come up with a security deposit on a place. yeah, having to come up with $2600 within the next few weeks is going to be a bit rough. not sure how we are going to work that one, but i imagine will figure out something. this is the joint we are thinkin bout.
