Don't ask me why I used a picture of Wayne and Garth on this post I just... well the roadies in their movies were the most memorable, and this post is about touring and stuff, and I couldn't find a picture of a Wayne's World roadie quickly so I thought fuck it. Anyhow, two bits of news: Meursault are touring the UK and Europe as Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's main support. Rob St. John is playing SHHH Festival and opening for Bonnie Prince Billy in Oxford [...]
Here are my obtuse meanderings vis-a-vis the best records of the year. Please forgive my inanity. 11. Let's Wrestle – Nursing Home Nouveau '90s rock was to 2011 what dance punk revivalism was to 2001. And of all the bands channeling classic slackercore this year, Let's Wrestle did it the best. 10. Russian Circles – Empros I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of instrumental rock — particularly metal. After all, it usually involves more noodling than a Pauls [...]
Voila the third part of our 2011 selection with free tracks from Future Classic's New Navy and Convaire, Laura Gibson, Inspired and the Sleep and Cocosuma and wonderful videos by the Swedish band Delaykliniken, the girl duo Boy, a Hamburg- Zürich cooperation, stunning Peaches covering Franz Ferdinand, Drew Smith and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. Free Mp3: Inspired and the Sleep - While We're Young Free [...]
Well, it's been one of those years. For one reason or another, my record searching out ability, and time or inclination to sit down and write something about records, has been seriously curtailed this year. And so it seems appropriate that the first two records in my list weren't even released this year. So it goes. The Obligatory Album From Last Year That I Only Heard This Year Cotton Jones - Tall Hours In The Glowstream Tipped off by the marvellous Song, [...]

![[Review/Listen] – Real Estate – "Days"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3944381_lg.jpg)
Tweet The cloudy, languid pop of Real Estate has been a favorite of the most well-versed hipsters for a few years now, and the band is finally emerging from the underground market straight into the ears of the mainstream crowd with their sophomore album "Days" . At their best, Real Estate sound like a more melodic, stretched out Nada Surf. Their use of repetition creates a feeling of relaxation within the separate tracks that also somehow encompasses the album as a [...]
As 2011 quietly and quickly comes to a close it is a good time to reflect on the year just past. A year of exploration and discovery, fun and enjoyment. Pain and beauty. Joy and ragged edges. Trends and movements. Disappointment and surprise. Elation. Sometimes. Many albums were purchased, yes I still do that, and some exceeded expectations. Some didn't. One album though met and exceeded all expecations. The cover told a story. Through faces, homes, planes and mountains we peered into the depth of humanity. From within voices glistened and instruments sounded the memory lines [...]

The list's mid-point. There's plenty of great material here, from rookie breakthroughs NewVillager to arena-ready acts like The Black Keys and Fleet Foxes. Take a look
There is a powerful new voice signed to Arts & Crafts Records (who gave us Feist, Broken Social Scene, Stars, Dan Mangan, The Dears, Apostle of Hustle, and many other of my personal favorites) - and whoa is Cold Specks ever sounding like something to be reckoned with. She's 23, she's from outside Toronto, and listen to this : I have listened to her version of "Old Stepstone" about a dozen times since first hearing about her yesterday, and still, [...]
Louisville, Kentucky is often called the "Gateway to the South." But for multi-instrumentalist Dom Cipolla, the city is a gateway to the realm of surreal musical experimentation. Landing in the Derby City in the '90s, Cipolla has become a cult figure within Louisville's music community, even teaming with one of that city's biggest indie darlings, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, for a recent split single . Now, Cipolla and fellow multi-instrumentalist William Benton, collectively known as The Phantom Family Halo , are readying their most involved album to date, When I Fall Out . The [...]

This Must Be The Place is the new movie where Sean Penn, seriously, plays an aging Robert-Smith-lookalike Nazi-hunter rock star. Obviously, we're all going to watch the shit out of this movie. But if we needed any more reason to get amped, the soundtrack album features a pretty fascinating collaboration that involves both David Byrne and Will Oldham. The soundtrack album has six songs credited to the Pieces Of Shit. The group, which isn't a real actual group, features Oldham writing the lyrics, Byrne writing the music, and the Irish singer Michael Brunnock doing all the [...]
The newest from Will Oldham is a collection of sleepytime Western songs. At one point, I actually thought he was going to yodel. My Sunday mornings just got a whole lot better. Read more » http://rpc.blogcatalog.com/ http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ ping
As previously reported , David Byrne and Will Oldham (aka Bonnie "Prince" Billy) collaborated on music for Paolo Sorrentino's recent film, This Must Be The Place . (You know, the one that stars Sean Penn as a Robert Smith-esque Nazi hunter. Yeah.) Now, the film's soundtrack receives a tracklist and a handful of songs have hit the web (via TwentyFourBit ). Dubbed The Pieces of Shit, the cinematic supergroup of sorts features Byrne and Oldham, alongside Irish singer-songwriter Michael Brunnock. The trio have five tracks on the album, one of which is a previous Bonnie 'Prince' Billy [...]
Back in January, we learned that Will Oldham and Talking Heads icon David Byrne have teamed up to compose music for an unusual forthcoming film starring Sean Penn as a Nazi-hunting, Robert Smith-esque aging rock star. Now tracklist details and a few previews of the OST have arrived. Taking its title from the 1983 Talking Heads classic, This Must Be the Place features five new songs with lyrics by Oldham, music by Byrne, and lead vocals provided by Irish singer-songwriter Michael Brunnock, who also covers Bonnie "Prince" Billy's "Lay & Love" for [...]
