The White Stripes Heading Back Into The Studio!
Although they've been on hiatus since 2007, Meg and Jack White are returning to the studio to record another album.
Jack said:
"We thought we'd do a lot of things that we'd never done: a full tour of Canada, a documentary, coffee-table book, live album, a boxed set. It was one long project that took almost three years.
Now that we've gotten a lot of that out of our system, Meg and I can get back in the studio and start fresh."
OMG! Cannot wait!

"Alone"
Release date: January 11, 2011
For those of us whose love for late-night, sweat-inducing rock music didn't die when the late 90s' psych bubble burst, we still have one always-consistent
beacon of hope: Bardo Pond. For the weary listener, they will always be a haven for musical exploration paired with those uncomfortable acid comedowns.
Per usual, they have once again brought us a little nugget from their darkened corner of Philly that we can bathe in for a while, submerged, apart from
the ever-devolving music world. On January 11, Bardo Pond will be dropping a fresh nugget of psych goodness onto this planet in the form of a self-titled
LP on
Fire Records.
Nothing can truly prepare one for a Bardo Pond album, but if their recent output is any indicator of what to expect, expect the sound of (lots of) drugs.
Bardo Pond tracklisting:
01. Just Once
02. Dont Know About You
03. Sleeping
04. Undone
05. Cracker Wrist
06. The Stars Behind
07. Waynes Tune

Well, Ben, you're at it again. As if all your many solo efforts (Six Organs of Admittance), side-solo efforts (Benja Minh), bands (Comets on Fire, Badgerlore),
and side projects (Rangda, August Born, and such) weren't enough to keep those pickin' fingers agile, you've gone and added another branch to the monolithic
Tree of Chasny, this time carrying the name 200 Years. This new project is a collab between Chasny and Magik Markers' Elisa Ambrogio that developed over
an 11-month stretch where they holed up in a former toolshed in Seattle and wrote tunes, the results of which will comprise their forthcoming debut album.
The two are probably hitting up Key Club Studios right now to start the documentation of those many months of hibernation-style guitar craft. Luck would
have it that Drag City, the home of both their main projects, has already staked claim on whatever form this session takes and is planning on releasing
the recordings in LP form sometime next year. Also planned is a follow-up, "more abstract" release on Ba Da Bing! as part of the label's subscription series.
Given the known musical wanderings of both musicians, I could take a swing at what this'll come out sounding like, but I'd rather wait to hear it myself.

Wire announce new album in their "Colors" series, Red Barked Tree, due in January
by
KID MIDNIGHT
on 10-19-2010
Wire, Britain's first "real" punk rock band, have announced that their newest album, titled Red Barked Tree, will be available for mass consumption on January
11 through the band's Pink Flag label. The album, Wire's 12th, is the follow-up to 2008's Object 47 and is further proof that not all bands get worse with
age. Well, at least the bands that weren't shitty to begin with.
The album was written and recorded throughout 2010 and features the slightly-less-than-four trio of Colin Newman, Graham Lewis, and Robert Grey, with the
press release making sure to mention that the recording sessions had "no guests." I guess Wire really want to reinforce the fact that they made this album
as a band, most likely to prove that 40-somethings in a punk band can make good music without the aid of young folk. Or maybe they don't want to admit
who they're friends with??
Regardless of the how or why, the album was created, the guys have put together a good group of songs, and you can even hear one if you want! Yeah! Just
head over to that less professional site (Pitchfork) and take a listen to the very cool, very Wire-like "Two Minutes."

The Dirtbombs do Detroit Techno
Detroit is due for another revival ever since Jack White left the Motor City for dead or perhaps Detroit does it to itself, but the glaring issue remains
that we must never forget about Detroit. The Dirtbombs' Ultraglide in Black was a retrospective covers celebration of Detroit soul, RB and of course, Motown.
The band is back on its celebration style to resurrect Detroit techno out of its urban decay.
Dirtbombs frontman Mick Collins is a nostalgiaist. In reworking Detroit classics in live instrumentation, his adjustments put little twists on the originals.
For instance, "Shari Vari" sounds less like a fuzzed-out and pulsating rhythm machine and more like a sleek German post-punk track that makes you ponder,
"what if Gang of Four were from Berlin?" Party Store will feature the refashioning of early Carl Craig, Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May classics. Carl
Craig even lent modular synthesizer programming to The Dirtbombs' epic 21-minute reworking of "Bug In The Bassbin".
Party Store is out February 1 on

9 tracks through the new Deerhoof record. Boring.
Damn shame. They had a nice run there from Apple O through Friend Opportunity.
I thought this one would be a recovery after the Offend Maggie slip but no luck.
