So it appears Monday has whipped around again. This week's savory selection kicks off with a tune from Newcastle indie rockers Little Comets . They're here to remind us that it's October—good to know. Whether the fact that it's now October, the February of fall, is a good thing is a totally different issue. We plunge on. Brazilian mestre Gilberto Gil warms up the mix with a recent live version of ' Expresso 2222.' Dois , Dois , Dois . So Gilberto may [...]

I'm still a week behind, but hopefully I'll get caught up this week. Albums Released on 5/13/08: Things I've Heard: Kassin + 2 : Futurismo (Luaka Bop) – This is the domestic release (on David Byrne's label) of Brazilian Alexandre Kassin's 2006 record. The plus two in the group are Moreno Veloso (Caetano's son) and Domenico Lancelotti. The record's an easy breezy combination of samba, bossa nova and (occasionally) more psychedelic sounds. Americans Sean O'Hagan (High Llamas) and John McEntire (Tortoise) make guest appearances on the three bonus tracks from the Luaka [...]
This week Drake gets all international and shit (and I lose my PG-13 status). -ed. Drake's Take: New Releases 05.13.08 While there's plenty of releases to be interested in, it's a bit of a downer in my usual idiom. Mostly because I already profiled the latest release from The Black Angels a few weeks ago, touched on the debut from Welsh singer Duffy yesterday , and have never really been much of a Death Cab For Cutie fan (even while their [...]
So after about three days, we have a first for The Daily Graboid: A Saturday edition! Believe me, this was not my intention at all, as I meant to have this up by Thursday at least. But, you know how sometimes you just put off something, and continue to do so to the point where you completely lose interest in it altogether. Now that it's the weekend, maybe you've already bought your albums this week. Got the new Death Cab For Cutie ? Great! Still, there's reason enough to check all of the other great releases that [...]
While there's plenty of releases to be interested in, it's a bit of a downer in my usual idiom. Mostly because I already profiled the latest release from The Black Angels a few weeks ago, touched on the debut from Welsh singer Duffy yesterday , and have never really been much of a Death Cab For Cutie fan (even while their latest is far more interesting than their major label debut Plans , I'm ultimately going to pass on it). One album of interest is latest [...]
Most Likely To: spruce up any space-age bachelor pad. Kassin +2 is a strange name for a band. What's even stranger (and is probably an affront to their publicist) is that the band keeps changing its name. Brazilian trio Moreno Veloso, Domenico Lancelloti, and Alexandre Kassin rename themselves each time they release a CD depending on which member of the band is featured. They debuted as Moreno +2 with Music Typewriter in 2001 followed by Sincerely Hot as Domenico +2 in 2004. [...]

Brand spanking new Nick Cave barks orders: Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! Speaking of which, it's all funky and groovy for ex-Bad Seed Barry Adamson 's Walk On Fire . Playhouse Down is another great song from the Murdocks . Nothing feels more summerish than latin-flavoured tunes, for which we turn to Kassin+2 's Ya Ya Ya . Spacey electronics are fundamental in [...]
1. Stateless - Bloodstream - I think I might have inhaled you. I can feel you behind my eyes. You've gotten into my bloodstream. I can feel you floating in me. Similar to this very song. [from Stateless | buy ] 2. MGMT - Electric Feel - A new friend's muxtape reminded me that I never got around to writing anything about this hip-stuttering synth-glam gem. [from Oracular Spectacular | buy ] 3. The Grand Archives - [...]

My opinion on and knowledge of Brazilian music and film are about the same: I like what I see and hear, but I can't claim to have heard a whole lot. Although I will say that if you haven't seen City of God you haven't truly lived. That's only a little bit exaggerated. I like what I heard of this Kassin+2 as well. Apparently they're a pretty big deal on their home soil, and this record is a big deal for how, gasp, accessible it is. Yep, "Ya Ya Ya" is probably one of the more edgy tracks [...]
