It's with a faint sense of trepidation we hike forever upward toward Alexandra Palace, not least as the sweltering trudge seemingly represents the metaphoric arrival of festival season which begins in earnest in but a few short weeks' time. It's the time of the season for early starts and later nights, lager glugged from the moment morning stumbles into afternoon as liver, lobes and inner ears quiver as one. Which painfully reminds me I've neglected to bring the old in-ears. Shite. Though Karen O & co. haven't opted for anywhere near as ruinous a line up as ATP [...]
Karen O y compañía en vivo El día de hoy por fin tendremos el nuevo y muy esperado álbum de los Yeah Yeah Yeahs en nuestras manos. Después de su exitosa aparición en el primer fin de semana de Coachella , Karen O , Nick Zinner y Brian Chase , acompañados por su amigo y músico invitado de cabecera, David Pajo , se presentaron en el show Jimmy Kimmel Live! para interpretar dos canciones del álbum Mosquito : "Sacrilege" y "Mosquito".
David Pajo's musical resume is long: Slint, Tortoise, Zwan, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Interpol . And that's just a partial list. Tonight he plays a super early show at the Burlington as Papa M , his solo moniker. The show starts at 7 p.m. and it's only 10 bucks.
Papa M is the solo project of Louisville musician and producer David Pajo, better known for playing with Slint , Tortoise , and Zwan .

Tickets are available from Tickets.ie and Ticketmaster priced €16.
Watch Wu Lyf cover Papa M's 'Krusty' at the KEXP studios.
Thanks to Micus Decimus of Evol for this review of the seminal band Slint and their album Spiderland . Slint | Spiderland HISTORY Slint have been hailed by many as the originators of post rock. Mixing hardcore punk ethics (but not punk aggression) with desolate soundscapes. The band formed in 1985 and consisted of - David Pajo (guitar), Brian [...]
Era il 2002, periodo in cui David Pajo aveva la bella mania di far uscire degli Ep con canzoni splendide (tipo " Three Songs ", quello stesso anno, per Drag City ). 2002, si diceva e da Western Vinyl arriva "Songs Of Mac" . Due pezzi, lunghi ma non troppi, entrambi clamorosi. Uno era The Person and the Skeleton , l'altro è questa è So Warped .
Dura poco l'avventura di David Pajo con gli Interpol . La band annuncia l'abbandono del bassista dovuto a motivi personali. David Pajo lascia gli Interpol pubblicato su Indie For BUNNIES
Em maio do ano passado, durante o burburinho que acompanhava a notícia de que o novo disco do Interpol estava pronto, recebemos com surpresa a notícia de que o baixista Carlos Dengler estava deixando a banda. Semanas depois, David Pajo (ex Slint e Tortoise) era confirmado pela banda como substituto que teria como desafio reproduzir as linhas de baixos feitas por Carlos D e conviver com o fantasma de sua saída reverberando em fofocas pela mídia especializada. Agora, menos de um ano depois, o Interpol se despede de [...]
David Pajo has decided to leave Interpol and has been replaced by bassist Brad Truax. Here is the full announcement from the band and from Pajo himself: Fans - New personnel change: Dave Pajo is tagging out, folks. Dave has decided to step out of the spotlight for a spell, and will no longer be [...]
Scott Tennent is the talented blogger behind Pretty Goes With Pretty as well as the author of Spiderland , one of the newest entries in the esteemed 33 1/3 series published by Continuum Books . I met Scott last month at a release party for the book here in Los Angeles, and I made him promise that he would let me interview him about his experience writing Spiderland , his first visit to Louisville, and - of course - all things Slint. On Tuesday night he and I chatted (online!) for [...]

Friday Five : \'frī-(,)dā,-dē 'fīv\ : On the sixth day of every week, I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes, then share the first five tracks and thought for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we'll have a guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. The Five: "Home Sweet Home (demo)" by Mötley [...]
Change is afoot! Though the NYC outfit hasn't dressed as sharply/uniformly as they did when they first started reviving post-punk ten years ago, all sorts of shifts were on display as they dropped by The Late Show last night to play new brooder "Barricade" for Mr. David Letterman: David Pajo is now playing bass, Secret Machines' Brandon Curtis is now playing keys, and frontman Paul Banks looks as though he just came back from a vacation in Cartagena. That's a long ways from Manchester. Daniel Kessler looks smart, though, and even if this new stuff hasn't knocked us [...]
Interpol está de vuelta. Con el cambio de su bajista Carlos Dengler por el prolífico post-rockero Dave Pajo en su alineación, el próximo lanzamiento de su cuarto álbum, la gira que acaban de emprender hace unos días, el regreso de la banda a Matador Records , y finalmente, este nuevo video en HD -que nos regalaron a todos en su sitio web-, bien podríamos atrevernos a decir que lo mejor de Interpol todavía está por venir. ¿Lo pueden creer? Por acá en Noiselab nuestras expectativas vaya que son altas... Por cierto, [...]
2007's Our Love To Admire , the third record by New York's gloom and doom merchants, Interpol was a lukewarm affair. To these ears, it was the sound of a band that felt enormous pressure to justify their graduation to the major label ranks after scoring a deal with Capitol Records. It wasn't a bad record by any stretch, mind you. It was simply a case of a band failing to fulfill the expectations of a rabid fanbase and quite possibly (and I'm just spitballing here) themselves. For me, the better songs lacked the oomph and the weaker songs [...]
According to the Interpol website (thanks for the heads up NME ), you will see some new and familiar faces. With the departure of Carlos D, the band have added Brandon Curtis from the Secret Machines and Dave Pajo from Tortoise/Zwan fame. I guess some people are replaceable and/or expendable. As a result of the U2 concert cancellations, there have been some new dates added. Interpol-Lights [mp3] From Interpol Hey gang, We'd like to take a moment [...]
After recently announcing the cancellation of most of their North American tour dates, as well as the departure of bassist Carlos D , things were looking grim for Interpol . The New York band is putting all bad things aside and moving forward with a just announced title for their forthcoming album. The band's fourth studio album will be titled ' Interpol ' and, according to a blog post on their website , it will be released sometime in mid-September. The band have also announced a replacement [...]
It's been a bit weird for the gloomy New York rockers of Interpol recently. First their long time bassist Carlos D decided to leave the band and then they had to cancel pretty much all of their North American tour because they were opening for U2 who canceled all of their North American tour dates. But the band has managed to keep their chins up as they just released some information regarding their new album and who will man the low end of their sound. First off, their fourth LP will [...]
