Broken Social Scene is setting out on a world tour starting June 18 in Toronto at Toronto Island and they're bringing The Sea and Cake with them for the majority of their fall dates. Expect Sea and Cake and Tortoise member John McEntire to be busy on tour. Having produced the latest Broken Social Scene album Forgiveness Rock Record, which was partly recorded at Soma Studios in Chicago, McEntire quickly became an unofficial member of BSS. Sam Prekop, singer for The Sea and Cake, also contributed to [...]
Ve ne avevo parlato quasi giusto un mese fa, di Carlos Dengler, storico bassista degli Interpol che era uscito dal gruppo lasciando i compagni, come si dice in questi casi, un po' "in braghe di tela"; con un nuovo disco in uscita da promuovere e un tour mondiale alle porte (come spalla degli U2 , mica bruscolini). All'epoca dell'annuncio gli Interpol parlarono di "eccitanti sostituti" che stavano "provinando" per il ruolo. Si erano fatti molti nomi, ma nessuno avrebbe mai potuto prevedere che alla fine quello giusta sarebbe stato quello di [...]

Yesterday Thrill Jockey announced that they are making the Tortoise track "Ice Ice Gravy" available for download for $1.00 from Fina- their online download service. To date, "Ice Ice Gravy" was only available in the U.S. as part of the iTunes version of Beacons of Ancestorship . Outside the U.S. it is available as a bonus track on the Japanese pressing of Beacons of Ancestorship as well as what appears to be a Japanese tour EP release in May titled Why Waste Time? According to Dan Bitney in [...]
Enquanto se dá descanso aos pés dos quilómetros percorridos e das horas em pé a ver concertos e a dançar, enquanto se dá descanso aos ouvidos e à cabeça de tanto rock'n'roll, enquanto se dá descanso ao corpo daquela coisa com nome de santo a que os espanhóis chamam cerveja, há tempo para um esforço de rememoração daquilo que se conseguiu ver e ouvir no Primavera Sound 2010. Notem que esta é
Decisions, decisions... We're two weeks and a day away from the start of the Phish summer tour, and I'm realizing that Tortoise is going to be in town playing at Great American Music Hall on the same night. I caught the last time they rolled through town and it was an amazing show, but I [...] Related posts: Tour Dates: Tortoise Hit West Coast in June, East Coast in September Tortoise - New MP3, 2009 Tour Dates Dr. [...]

Detroit's hardest Guilty Simpson and Madlib just released their collabo jump OJ Simpson . As expected it bangs, as Guilty wear's Madlib's beats like a find glove. Guilty Simpson also appears with Bumps a side project of Tortoise's John McEntire, John Herndon and Dan Bitney. Their original intention was to on have Guilty on their 2007 Stones Throw release Bumps by Bumps . Guilty Simpson & Bumps - "Drums" -mp3
AdLuna Records is a label I've been following for a little while due to their ties with Thrill Jockey artists. AdLuna is a boutique-ish label out of France which has a penchant for free jazz and funk (well, and one folk release). They released their first three releases in 2008. Due to the low volume of releases from the label, they are able to focus on the packaging of the releases. All three CD releases are in a unique 5.53 x 7.753 book style cover- printed on high-quality card stock with a matte finish. In the case [...]
Broken Social Scene head to London this week as the first stop of an international tour that sees them trekking between Europe, Canada and the U.S through October. Festival stops along the way include All Tomorrow's Parties, Sasquatch, Glastonbury, Pitchfork, T in the Park and Primavera. Yep, they're the popular kids this summer. The crew recently released their fourth full-length, Forgiveness Rock Record ( Arts&Crafts ), which we previewed back in April. Produced by John McEntire, the album features Feist, Emily Haines, members of Do Make Say Think, The Sea and [...]
On May 11, The National will release their highly anticipated fifth studio album High Violet - which is currently streaming on the New York Times website . As a way of celebrating the release, the Brooklyn-via-Ohio act will commandeer the vacant space at 13 E 4th St (next to the killer record store Other Music) in Manhattan's East Village and turn it into their own playhouse by curating five nights of yet to be announced events at what they are dubbing The High Violet Annex. More details will be released in the week [...]
As someone who is just starting to get a little bit into White Hinterland and someone who has long been a fan of the remixes of Mr. Alan Wilkis , I was pleasantly surprised to learn that his latest remix was none other than "No Logic" by White Hinterland. The original tune is pretty low key, but Alan said he channeled Stereolab and Tortoise (good choices) to turn this into a funky quasi-psychedelic remix (I just said that last part, not him), and I would say he hit it out of the park. I especially [...]
Check out new albums due in May from Broken Social Scene, The Black Keys, Leela James, LCD Soundsystem, Flying Lotus and The Hold Steady.

![Treasure Fingers [New Track & New Tour Dates]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2492649_lg.jpg)
Treasure Fingers released a brand new track last week. School prevented me from finding it earlier but it's blindingly good! Very reminiscent of the good ol' days when we used to hear a lot from Treasure Fingers. So because I missed this by so much you can find a variety of excellent remixes below to assist in celebrating the new! Welcome back TF! What Am I Supposed To Do , will be included on a debut compilation LP of Treasure Fingers' work called Life Of The Afterparty , out this summer on Fool's Gold [...]
No support or tickets details yet but we do know that Tortoise will be playing Whelan's on Saturday 10th July, thanks to those fine Foggy Notions people. Not, we'd suggest, one to miss. Related Broken Social Scene - New Album Details Photos: Analog Festival - Liars, Efterklang, Tortoise
Tipico esempio di anonimato da culto, fatta, forse, eccezione per il periodo in cui il post rock rasentava il concetto di unica speranza. Ecco, in quegli anni di fine secolo i Ganger una loro cerchia (ristretta sin che si vuole) di fedeli e pugnaci seguaci l'avevano. Scozzesi ed amici dei Mogwai (Craig B, il chitarrista, [...]
