Haiku Review of WU LYF 's Go Tell Fire to the Mountain : Sounds you may have heard Before, in dreams or in bars But hey, still so great Notes: If you've heard of World Unite Lucifer Youth Foundation (aka WU LYF) by now, it's probably because of the hype ( BNM 'd by Pitchfork) or anti-hype (see: The A.V. Club's review ) surrounding the band. Sadly, those are the two worst reasons to spin this record. [...]

Check out "Dead End Job At The Dead Letter Office" a previously unreleased track from prolific Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock . Sounds like this one's pretty old judging from Brock's voice. MM purists rejoice! This track will be apart of a charity compilation album, Live From Nowhere Near You, Vol. II benefitting homeless youth foundation http://www.outsidein.org/ . Check the new song out here
This is a pretty special track for Modest Mouse fans out there. This Isaac Brock song comes from 1993 - the year Modest Mouse formed! It's being billed as Isaac Brock, though it might as well be Modest Mouse since drummer Jeremiah Green plays on it, and the guitarist is Dann Gallucci, who has never been in Modest Mouse, but that makes up a 3-piece band, right? Anyway, the song has been unearthed to feature on the upcoming 3-disc charity album Live From Nowhere Near You, Vol. 2 , a "benefit concept CD" which will go to [...]

WATERFRONT BLUES FESTIVAL: LUCINDA WILLIAMS, BLACK JOE LEWIS AND THE HONEYBEARS, ROSIE LEDET AND THE ZYDECO PLAYBOYS & MORE ( Tom McCall Waterfront Park , 1020 SW Naito Parkway) In previous years the lineup for the Waterfront Blues Festival has been less than stellar (sorry, Jonny Lang fans).

Modest Mouse - That'll Be the Day (The Crickets cover)
An album of Buddy Holly covers is pretty daunting. He arguably invented rock 'n' roll before the age of 22. His backing band, the Crickets, supposedly inspired the Beatles' name. And Rivers Cuomo looks just like him. Fortunately, the artists covering Holly's biggest hits on Rave On Buddy Holly are allowed to interpret the songs however they want. Certain artists bring more of their personalities to the table—Paul McCartney's spit-flying screaming on "It's So Easy" and Patti Smith's Spanish sweet nothings on "Words of Love", for example—while others, like too-cute-for-school She and Him, stick to sunny '50s pop [...]

Isaac Brock is set to score the forthcoming film Queens of Country . The movie starring Ron Livingston (Office Space) and Lizzy Caplan (Hot Tub Time Machine)
Se você achava que a convocação de Big Boi para a produção do próximo álbum do Modest Mouse foi uma escolha peculiar de Isaac Brock , você não sabe qual será o próximo passo do frontman da banda norte-americana. A Pitchfork acaba de anunciar que Brock comandará a trilha-sonora da comédia indie Queens of Country , dirigida por Ryan Page e Christopher Pomerenke e estrelada por Lizzy Caplan (de Meninas Malvadas e da série Party Down) e pelo vocalista da banda Tool , Maynard Keenan.
