I Author My Own Disaster, Volume One, Part Seven Martin & Muñoz, Traveler 48 at Night, 2003; location unknown There really is no reason to be sad or lonely on a beautiful day like today. The sun is shining and people are out and about, flooding the streets just to see each other. I woke up this morning with the biggest smile on my face and I just feel happy. [...]

The Joy Formidable have just cranked Manchester Orchestra's "April Fool" to a new level. It has now become a trance club-going energy filled bonanza that would be perfect for a night out..by vampires. This remix has so much dark intensity it, I love it. I'd never get to think there would be a chance to hear Andy Hull on a track like this.

This ain't your grandma's remix. Joy Formidable 's take on Manchester Orchestra 's "April Fools," a great track off of their latest LP, Simple Math , is far from the danceable fare the word "remix" tends to bring to mind. The Welsh trio's reworking of the song jumps back and forth from the glitchy and spastic to something a bit more driving and industrial, culminating in a cascading electronic breakdown. But under all the digital flair, the remix has an undeniable rock feel. If you've ever had the fortune of catching the Joy [...]
Enquanto alguns DJ's remixam canções apenas adicionando algumas batidas eletrônicas e sintetizadores, o grupo The Joy Formidable , uma das revelações de 2011, ousou bastante e redefiniu completamente a canção April Fool , um dos destaques do novo álbum da banda norte-americana Manchester Orchestra . Com vocais distorcidos e posicionados em loop, sons eletrônicos pesados e batidas frenéticas, é difícil reconhecer a faixa original, de rock direto e guitarras intensas. Os fãs do grupo de Andy Hull provavelmente não receberão a versão repaginada e reinventada pelo The Joy Formidable de braços [...]

I don't exactly remember when my love affair with Manchester Orchestra began, only that it burned very bright at the start and has continued to produce light and heat ever since. Lead singer/songwriter Andy Hull's brand of brooding, trembling indie rock has always struck a chord with me. Each of the band's first two albums [...]
![[Listen] – New Song By Manchester Orchestra – "Virgin"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3395167_lg.jpg)
Tweet This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before [...]
Manchester Orchestra - April Fools In case you missed the additional release from their upcoming album, here it is.
Hanson really did cover Slipknot's 'Wait And Bleed' as an April Fool's joke. It's really funny. It's actually ok, as well.

This has to be the best PRANK in Soul history. Well, for me at least. Every Friday while I'm doing my Happy Hour over at Milk Bar, My brother "The Selecter Kirk" of Sweater Funk run's his Luxury Happy Hour downtown. I saw a message earlier claiming the infamous "Lamont Dozier" Motown Soul Legend was chilling at Kirk's Happy Hour. Lets just say by the end of the night they were hanging with a smooth criminal. According to my friends, this character has his "Lamont Dozier" knowledge down to the T. [...]

Beta-lactam Ring Records , I love you. On Thursday, the experimental label was anxious to announce a "big release" that they said was "just Insane." On Friday, they revealed the cover to new issue of UK experimental/fringe/avant garde rag The Wire , which featured none other than Insane Clown Posse , with a header " Magnets, Bitches, and Tape Loops: ICP On Their Experimental Side " But the parody Wire cover was only the beginning of their elaborate April Fool's Joke, with the announcement of the Magnet's, Bitches, [...]
We hope you enjoyed our April fools stories yesterday as much as we did! In our long-standing tradition, we devoted the entire day to fake news and spoofs. We had fun writing them despite the fact that we can't really fool most of you in our nineth year of the tradition, even when we start off with some very plausible (yet fake) stories. Many thank...

April Fool's Day is simultaneously the funniest and cruelest day of the year. Those not in on the joke can sometimes end up frustrated, angry, even hurt. Yet it's also a prime day of the year for some great comedy, and this year, several ...

APPPRILLLLLL FOOOOOOLLSSSS!!!!! Sorry for the scare guys, we were quite taken back from the response and support everyone showed... and quite frankly we're very humbled by it.
