Miranda July (Me and You and Everyone We Know filmmaker) has 3 handmade posters that are up for auction on Ebay. There's an apology , congratulations , and this invitation . People seem to like the apology (now at $730). I like the invitation (at $315). These are on auction for McSweeney's . They lost over $100,000 because their distributor filed for bankruptcy ( the story ). If you've got $2000, you can get a personal tour of The Daily Show . Here's the [...]
Sorry the Bowie's gone...maybe a little Nirvana will help? Almost 30 albums here . They'll probably get wise too, so get 'em while you can
Few artists have been as influential, innovative, or ever-lasting as David Bowie . If you've got a hole in your Bowie Catalog, perhaps you can fill it here . There are nearly 40 albums for your enjoyment.
I'm sorry it's been so long, but for your patience and loyalty here you go. Get your Yeah Yeah Yeahs here first! First it was Karen O. Now, a song from the forthcoming Ep titled Isis . The 5 song ep was previously reported to be named Runt of the Litter , but this is no runt my friends. 10x10

Tegan & Sara have a new album coming out in July. It's called The Con . The twins have been living on opposite sides of Canada, and you can kind of tell. The album has some elements of the old T&S harmonies, but there are obvious new influences and trying of new sounds (half steps or keyboards). Luckily, they tie it all together quite well. I am enjoying their growth. They'll be on tour soon, but their shows are selling out so get your tickets fast. European Tickets [...]
I had the choice between seeing Animal Collective blocks from my house or driving an hour to see Matt & Kim. I think I made the right decision for me. Matt & Kim are delightful. Fun, spunky, and guaranteed to make you smile. I can't wait to listen to them on a road trip. Nothing better to pass the time than pop-y sing-along tunes. Having seen them live will make for good day dreams. Here's a song from their set Saturday night at Rubber Gloves.
yacht, Yacht, YACHT. I Love YACHT. I'm super glad I saw him. If you weren't there. You missed dyanmic dance moves, beats that move your feet, and almost choking on smoke from sparklers. Feel free to dance along. You know you want to.
Happy Birthday Tina Fey ! She's one of my favorite writers/actors/comedians. Check out this great Tina fan site . Let's all celebrate with some Interpol .

Looks like they'll be super busy touring in support of Our Love to Admire that streets July 7th. May 19 2007 Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre (KROQ [...]

Last time, I saw Leslie Feist she was playing a small instore at Good Records . It was a small, but well attended gig before her opening set for Broken Social Scene . I'm glad that she's all over the place now and getting the recognition that she deserves. I've started listening to KCRW over the internet while I'm at work. Nic Harcourt plays a stellar mix of songs and has some of the most respected musicians [...]

Well, they're back with another album called Little Amber Bottles . It'll be released late this month oversees. No mention of it on their site yet. "If our first album was about life throwing you in a [...]

The show also included one of my favorite actresses, Sarah Polley , who has just directed her first film Away From Her . These aren't from American Doll Posse but are some old rarities nicely compiled. Tracks1&2 [...]

As a buyer, I was wondering why I should bring the new Spiderman 3 soundtrack into my stores. So, I started reading through the tracklisting, Snow Patrol (ok), The Killers (ok), Yeah Yeah Yeahs (sold). Record Collection knows how to put a soundtrack together with all new songs from Snow Patrol , Yeah Yeah Yeahs , Jet , The Flaming Lips , Wolfmother , The Walkmen , The Killers and more. The soundtrack even [...]
I found some live Sufjan songs, and as I'm deciding which ones to put up, I want to pick the ones with Shara very prominant in them, 'cause I'm biased. When I talked to Shara at SXSW, she was gushing about Mikey, much like I do...kinda crazy. Anyhoo... She ( My Brightest Diamond ) did an awesome in-studio performance for KCRW while she was at Sxsw. It's a whole hour of talking and singing, including a never-released Edith Piaf cover. You can find that interview and performance [...]
