In case you've had your head buried inside your own arse, Outkast rapper Big Boi has been working with Modest Mouse on their brand new record. Now I know some of you rock purists will be all, "No! That'll ruin MM's sound! No hip-hop!" Calm down, hater. It's always cool to bring in fresh blood when working on new tunes. Especially when the new tunes sound like this. Modest Mouse - "Poison" That's not from the studio. That's a high quality soundboard [...]
If you're a fan of either Big Boi or Modest Mouse , then you've probably already heard that ATLien is producing Modest Mouse's next album, the first since 20072s We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank . The band played a set at Sasquatch Music Festival this past weekend and premiered two new jams, which are streamable below: Continue reading: Modest Mouse - "Poison" & "Lampshades of Fire" Subscribe to the PMABLAST, a daily newsletter with free [...]
Modest Mouse have hit the studio with Big Boi but until this weekend we'd heard pretty much nil from the upcoming record. That changed at Sasquatch, with the new songs "Poison" and "Lampshades on Fire." MP3: Modest Mouse - Lampshades on Fire (live) MP3: Modest Mouse - Poison (live)

In a weekend full of exciting sets, one of the most keenly observed at Sasquatch will have been that of Modest Mouse. For the Washington band it was almost a hometown show and their only planned North American gig for the rest of 2011. Having recently announced that they'd been in the studio with Big Boi we're all intrigued to see what they come up with, and someone has been kind enough to grab sounndboard recordings of two new songs from the performance called "Poison" and "Lampshades On Fire." Neither really suggest that they'll be heading back in the direction [...]

Modest Mouse recently hit the studio with Big Boi to begin work on their first new record since 20072s We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank . And as TwentyFourBit points out, we may have gotten our first taste of the result of this strange bedfellow during Modest Mouse's headlining set at the Sasquatch! Music Festival on Sunday night. Below, you can hear soundboard-quality recordings of two songs, tentatively titled "Poison" and "Lampshades On Fire". Neither cut hears Isaac Brock dropping rhymes, but both seem to hearken back to a more [...]
It's about damn time. I've been waiting too long on new material from Modest Mouse and thanks to one kind YouTube user , I don't have to wait any longer. Last night during their set at the Sasquatch Music Festival, Modest Mouse debuted two new songs, the fiery spitter "Poison" and dynamic bruiser "Lampshades On Fire" which can be heard in soundboard quality now. I've gone ahead and ripped the audio from each video into convenient MP3 format for those wanting to grab a download. Enjoy! [...]

All photos by Sébastien Dehesdin The queue for on-the-door tickets at London's Luminaire speaks volumes: it starts forming an hour before doors opens and continues around the block. It's comprised of gig-goers hoping to able to mourn the passing of one of London's most beloved live venues on the last-ever Friday night show the venue will hold. In the end, only seven lucky punters are let into the sold-out farewell bash, and they are treated to a fitting sendoff to a venue that - with its slightly unfashionable location, cosy interior [...]

Astazi vă propun un top 5 al pieslor care le găsesc foarte optimiste. Care mi-s ca un prieten care mă îmbrățișeză și apoi îmi spune foarte convingător "O să se rezolve" și pe care le ascult foarte des când am nevoie de un soi de tonic. top 5 #20: it's gonna be ok Poză de Jeff Houck O arhiva cu toate piesele, aici . 1.

Toamna începe să se arate tot mai tare, aia friguroasă, și cu nori mulți și ploi reci. Și pentru că frigul din vârful degetelor nu trebuie să ne ajungă și-n interior, am adunat 5 piese care mă încălzesc instant când le aud, mai ales toamna asta. Titlul îi aparține lui Nick Drake , chiar în piesa de mai jos, dar mi-a fost insuflat de Vic (n-are link, deși e peste tot pe internet), involuntar top 5 #17: pray for warmth and green paper [...]
Din cauză că recent am recitit și revăzut High Fidelity , m-am decis să fac o serie de posturi bilunare (în principiu pe 5 și 25 ale fiecărei) cu top cinci piese pe un subiect total întâmplător. E o chestie foarte subiectivă, dar când n-o fost muzica așa? Ah, și îs curioasă dacă și voi aveți piese care coincid subiectului pe care îl aleg. Chiar daca nu îs fix 5. Așa că nu vă sfiiți Și pentru că de o săptămâna e o vreme superbă afară și chiar se [...]

You sit here waiting For me to stop by some day soon And you'll take my feet in your hands Breathe life in me again. ( Because Trees Can Fly by Lampshade ) Posted in cherry treats, moods, music
Lampshade 's new 6-track MCD "Stop pause play" is now confirmed for release on January 26. Preview/pre-order at the band's website: http://www.lampshade.dk/

So I've started getting email from bands - when did I become a real blogger? (says the Velveteen Tart lol!). You've seen what Twitter has done for me, that Jeff Brodnax was something, wasn't he?! Well I'm hoping you like this band too. They're called the Lampshades, they're album is aptly named The Lampshades Are Alright . They bill themselves as " an indie rock/power pop band, ... a four-piece band currently based out of the Pittsburgh/DC area but originally formed in rural central Pennsylvania." Now you might be mistaken into thinking this is [...]
All Scandinavian has a new track from Swedish/Danish act Lampshade with guest vocals from Teitur : http://allscandinavian.com/448 /exclusive-new-lampshade-singl e-%e2%80%98silkesar%e2%80%99/
Right now, Jaren Love (The lead singer and lead guitarist of the band " The Lampshades ") is just about to leave my room to go do his radio show. We just talked about a whole bunch of music, and things pertaining to music. Somewhere in that conversation he did an interview for me in which he talked about his awesome band. And this is what went down... Knox Road: What are your personal influences? Jaren Love: As far as bands go, I have always been a fan of the first two Weezer albums, The Beach [...]
What we have here today is a new track from Swedish/Danish act Lampshade , their first in quite some time. It's actually a Nikolaj Nørlund cover song, their contribution to the Danish classic artist tribute comp "Kender du det?" . I won't pretend that I actually know anything about Nørlund and I will refer you to Hits in the Car for more details on said comp, but I do have this story as provided by vocalist Rebekka Maria Andersson : "When I was phoned by Franka Abrahamsen [...]
Lampshade report that they've completed work on seven new tracks. One happens to be a cover of "Den støjende tid" by Nikolaj Nørlund which will probably end up on a comp this coming fall and they also did a track called "Silkesår" which will feature guest vocals from Teitur .
Ce să vrei mai mult de la o zi de 28 februarie decât o vreme superbă - cu soare, fără nici o adiere de vânt - miros de primăvară în aer, ghiocei în curţile oamenilor şi o piesa pe măsură în căşti. O venit primăvara *doing the joy dance* Piesa zilei: Lampshade - New Legs, ideală [...]
