I got a leaked copy of the new MSTRKRFT cd 'Fist of God' I honestly would suggest this album to anyone who just loves music. It's more than an electro album. It has R&B, hip hop, rock n roll, and definetetly techno elements. The best track on the album is Heartbreaker with John Legend. Its phenomenal.



1. It Ain?t Love f. Lil Mo
2. 1000 Cigarettes
3. Bounce f. N.O.R.E. & Isis
4. Vuvuvu
5. Heartbreaker f. John Legend
6. Fist Of God
7. So Deep f. Jahmal (The Carps)
8. Click Click f. E-40
9. Word Up f. Ghostface Killah
10. Breakaway f. Jahmal (The Carps)
11. 1000 Cigarettes f. Freeway

pm for link.

the next trainwreck or the next supergroup?

NEW YORK (Billboard) ? Former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha, Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos, Hanson's Taylor Hanson and Fountains of Wayne bassist Adam Schlesinger have formed a new band, Tinted Windows.
The group has recorded its debut album at Stratosphere Sound Studios in New York, which Schlesinger and Iha co-own with Ivy's Andy Chase. A spring release is planned, on a label to be announced.

I bet they all leaked last night. Given their advancing age, probably more than once.

Pilot Speed (formerly just "Pilot"), from toronto, will be releasing an album in april.  they opened for the dears some time back (2006?) and i thought they were really great (infinitely better than The National, who were openers #2 - ugh).  i'm excited to hear that they'll be touring again.  not sure how good their recorded output is, but their live show is highly recommended.

New Album + Tracklist

Hey friends,

We've got some exciting news. The new record will be out April 2009 on iTunes, and in good old fashioned compact-disc format in the US and Canada, from the lovely people at Wind-Up Records and MapleMusic Recordings, respectively. It's called Wooden Bones…..which is also the title of a song some of you may of heard us play last time we hit the road. Most of it was completed here in Toronto and NYC with our new friend Kevin Killen steering the ship

Here's the tracklisting:
1 Put The Phone Down
2 Light You Up
3 Bluff
4 Ain't No Life
5 Up On The Bridge
6 Where Does It Begin?
7 What Is Real, What Is Doubt
8 Today I Feel Sure
9 Midnight Fires
10 Wooden Bones
11 Open Arms

The first single is Put The Phone Down, which should be hitting the airwaves this week, with a video to accompany it towards the end of March. We're also planning to start streaming different new tracks for your listening pleasure in the coming weeks on the ol' interweb. Keep checking our MySpace page for a preview of the new record starting with "Put The Phone Down"

Live dates are starting to come together, we'll have some more info on this real soon.

You know, it's been a somewhat long process for us…. it's hard to believe our last record was in '06. Even Axl Rose managed to get his record out between then and now. But on the upside we're really excited about this new music and what it means as a step forward for this band… and we really look forward to letting you hear it. As always, thanks for your patience and support. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Love,
Pilot Speed

Spent much of the weekend digging the new Mastodon. It's much more mellow, and all the Remission dorks are going to get their panties in a-twitter, but it's a very good album. Am especially looking forward to getting the actual release because the leak's SQ is pretty bad and it sounds like the guitars are monstrous on this thing.

Just grabbed the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album and will listen to it when I go running at lunch.

New LSD March album is really good so far. Floyd-esque Japanese psych.


Mellow and accessible as far as Japanese psych goes, too.

Vinyl fetishism has no bounds it seems. Someone should tell the Pitchfork folk that in 1985 it was still very common for releases to be vinyl-only.

The new Wolves in the Throne Room leaked recently.


In case environmentally conscious black metal performed by dudes who live in the woods is anyone here's thing.


Edit: this is scary. And awesome. I'm suddenly in the mood to sacrifice an animal ritualistically. Off to petsmart for some bunny shopping…

Yes!!


Sun Gangs by The Veils

Released: Apr 07 2009

1. Sit Down By The Fire 
2. Sun Gangs 
3. The Letter 
4. Killed By The Boom 
5. It Hits Deep 
6. Three Sisters 
7. The House She Lived In 
8. Scarecrow 
9. Larkspur 
10. Begin Again 


The Veils are Finn Andrews, (vocals, guitar, piano, New Zealand) Sophia Burn, (bass, New Zealand) Dan Raishbrook (guitar, odd noise, England) and Henning Dietz (drums, Germany). Sun Gangs is their third album, and without a doubt their finest to date.

By turns epic, desolate, wildly romantic and anguished, Sun Gangs is a bold and distinctive record described by Finn as ?a very modern mixture of prayers, love letters and personal record keeping?. Produced by Graham Sutton (Jarvis Cocker / British Sea Power / Bark Psychosis) it is their most ambitious record yet ranging from the yearning elegy of ?Sit Down By The Fire?, to the charred, mantis-like groove of ?Killed By The Boom? - this is a record unlike many we are likely to hear this year.

So many stories, words, tones and ideas punctuate its gradually unfolding landscape as that incomparable voice cries and hollers. ??Sit Down By The Fire? is about watching something collapse, and it being quite pretty to look at,? offers Finn. ??Killed By The Boom? is possibly about The Wire?s Omar Little. ?It Hits Deep? is about being a man, in a bar alone, on a tropical island resort, as the light gets dim and the world goes fuzzy. ?Larkspur? is somewhere else entirely.?

?I really wanted to write something that hangs together in perhaps a not so obvious way; not just some collection of singles but a real voyage into something, something strange and unspecific but totally emotionally consuming. It?s also kinda just a break-up record in many ways.?

Finn?s father Barry Andrews was a founding member of the highly influential group XTC in the late 1970s, later going on to tour with the likes of Robert Fripp & Brian Eno, Iggy Pop & David Bowie.

In younger days in Auckland, thousands of miles away from his father, Finn sang at a folk club up a volcano, and sidelined a desire to paint when he began hearing musicians like Tom Waits, Nina Simone, Leonard Cohen, Roy Orbison & Bob Dylan - contemplating that there was perhaps more to life than the bleeping Eighties electronica and early days of New Wave which had surrounded his first London foray.

In Sun Gangs The Veils have brought Finn?s early influences full circle, and created a record that truly lives up to the huge promise and talent that they have always exhibited.
