Co-written and produced by the Matrix or Matrix or The Matrix or whatever they call themselves. Should be interesting, to say the least.

For Markie:

Barenaked Ladies will release the holiday album Barenaked for the Holidays on October 5. Tracks include both Christmas tunes like "Do They Know It's Christmas" and "Jingle Bells" as well as Hanukkah songs, including "I Have a Little Dreidel," "Hanukkah Blessings" and "Hanukkah O Hanukkah." …
I'm very much looking forward to the North American release of A Strangely Isolated Place by Ulrich Schnauss. I had plans to buy this and in fact, almost did the other night but talked myself out of spending anymore money just yet. Then I found out through a friend that this is being released here and with a bonus disc via Domino Records. I don't know what it is with that album but it makes me feel so good when I listen to it. Something about the acoustics seem to just resonate the right vibes in the brain and vital organs. If you've heard it, you probably know what I mean.

Also, Domino has plans to reissue another Ulrich Schnauss release called Far Away Trains Passing By. That one I already have.
Dirty Vegas "One" on November 30th

No word on which product endorsement the first single "Walk Into the Sun" will be featured in, but I'm going with a Mitsubishi car commercial.
Ultra Rare Recordings Bolster Clash Classic


Five never-before-heard Clash songs highlight the upcoming Legacy Edition of "London Calling," due Sept. 21 via Epic. As previously reported, the first disc of the set will feature a remastered version of the classic 1979 album, while the second disc sports 21 rehearsal sessions recordings dubbed "The Vanilla Tapes." The DVD "The Last Testament – The Making of London Calling" comprises the third disc.

Previously thought lost, cassettes of "The Vanilla Tapes" were recently discovered in storage by Clash guitarist Mick Jones. Of greatest interest for fans will be "Paul's Tune," which morphed into "The Guns of Brixton," a cover of Bob Dylan's "The Man in Me," "Up-Toon," which turned into "The Right Profile," and an early version of "Clampdown" titled "Working and Waiting."

An in-progress take of the title cut reveals alternate lyrics and song structure, having not yet arrived at the snarling version eventually recorded for the album. Other unreleased items include the country-ish "Lonesome Me," the reggae-leaning "Where You Gonna Go (Soweto)," "Heart and Mind" and the instrumental "Walkin' the Slidewalk."

"The Last Testament" DVD, produced by longtime associate Don Letts, features 16 minutes of previously unreleased studio footage, promo videos, live clips and interviews with Jones, bassist Paul Simonon, late guitarist Joe Strummer and drummer Topper Headon and with band manager Kosmo Vinyl.

Here is "The Vanilla Tapes" track list:

"Hateful"
"Rudie Can't Fail"
"Paul's Tune"
"I'm Not Down"
"4 Horsemen"
"Koka Kola, Advertising & Cocaine"
"Death or Glory"
"Lover's Rock"
"Lonesome Me"
"The Police Walked in 4 Jazz"
"Lost in the Supermarket"
"Up-toon"
"Walking the Slidewalk"
"Where You Gonna Go (Soweto)"
"The Man in Me"
"Remote Control"
"Working and Waiting"
"Heart and Mind"
"Brand New Cadillac"
"London Calling"
"Revolution Rock"

Hey Jaguar, are you planning on going to one of the M83/Schnauss shows? Unfortunately, I can't make any of these shows which I am sure will be magical nights of synthgaze. I am also waiting for the second album to be released in the US. Have your heard this unreleased gem from his website: http://www.ulrich-schnauss.net/downloads/2001_us_breakfast.mp3
I missed the news that Low had signed to Sub Pop (quite a roster at sub pop these days), so I guess they will be coming out with an album soon
The new Two Lone Swordsmen album, From The Double Gone Chapel, is quite a change from Tiny Reminders. It features Weatherall actually singing, including a cover of the Gun Club's Sex Beat. It is very dark in sort of a Bow Down To The Exit Sign or Contino Sessions way. You can listen to it here: http://www.twoloneswordsmen.com/music.html
