New Blitzen Trapper Songs/Footage

Portland Oregon's Blitzen Trapper put out an excellent album called Furr in 2008. They toured a bunch and got a solid amount of recognition for the record and settled in for some recording time throughout 2009. In an interview with Paste Magazine, lead singer/guitarist Eric Earley stated that the new album is narrative driven, and a number of the songs are a complete 180 from the folksy tunes that can be heard on Furr. I stumbled upon this video of the band playing a 26 minute set which features a bunch of new songs. Give it a watch.

Phosphorescent Announce New Album

Last year, the Brooklyn-bred indie band Phosphorescent, led by Matthew Houck put out a fantastic album called To Willie. The record was a collection of lesser-known but fantastic Willie Nelson covers and received much praise in the blogosophere, the indie-world and from the red headed stranger himself. On May 11, Phosphorescent will release a new album titled Here's to Taking It Easy. What's more, the band will also be touring with British soft-rock sensation David Gray, opening a huge number of shows.

Show Review: Wilco - Centennial Hall, London Ontario, February 24, 2010

I'd love to write a full fledged show review for the Wilco concert I saw tonight, but after seeing the band for the fourth time supporting Wilco (The Album) I really wasn't expecting much more than a solid rock show. The band was tight, but unsurprisingly the song selection was taken mostly from Wilco (The Album), Sky Blue Sky, the occasional Yankee Hotel Foxtrot tune and a few older "go to" songs. I was happy to hear "Misunderstood" a favourite of mine, and "Shot In The Arm" is always a great tune to get the crowd involved as we all sang "Maybe all I need is a shot in the arm" over and over. That being said, I knew the band would leave the stage "surprisingly early" only to come back and play a six song encore. The group popped into "Wilco (The Song)", a track they've generally been opening with over the past year and a bit. Opening band Califone came out on stage to sing-a-long to "California Stars" and four songs later they ended with the classic "Hoodoo Vodoo". All in all it was an awesome show at ironically enough, the smallest venue I've ever seen Wilco play. The band was even nice enough to announce the score in the Canada vs. Russia Olympic hockey game and ignore the slaughter-fest that was the Canada vs. U.S.A. game. Thanks guys, that must have been tough!

The Barr Brothers, Surprise Me Mr. Davis & The Slip

Brothers Brad and Andrew Barr, 2/3 of The Slip and 2/5 of Surprise Me Mr. Davis, have finally decided to release some of their Montreal-inspired music. The brothers have appropriately enough labeled their new band, The Barr Brothers (formerly Super Little and Berithen Berio) and plan to release an album later this year. According to the Barr Brothers' website, “The seeds for The Barr Brothers were first sown five years ago when Brad and Andrew relocated to Montreal. Brad’s apartment shared an adjoining wall with harpist Sarah Page. The two would hear each other practicing through the cracks. Sarah’s gentle melodies began weaving their way into the music that Brad was writing. A friendship was struck and songs were born. This latest endeavor for Brad and Andrew finds them exploring sounds quieter and more ethereal than anything in their previous work. Final touches are currently being added to a debut recording that will be released later this year.” What's more, the Bros. Barr will be touring, opening a few select shows for Rhode Island friends The Low Anthem, who funny enough have opened a few shows and collaborated with Surprise Me Mr. Davis. Brad and Andrew have also been working with their other band member Marc Friedman on recording a new The Slip album. Finally, Surprise Me Mr. Davis who are putting the finishing touches on their latest EP will also be embarking on a small tour starting in April. Basically, the Barr brothers are wicked busy and should be dropping a nice amount of sure-to-be-amazing material for us this coming year.

New Broken Social Scene Song

After five long years, Broken Social Scene is finally ready to drop a new album for our listening pleasure. What's more, the band has kindly released a track from the album called "World Sick". It's a 7 minute BSS classic, whirling, anthemic and full of nifty little sounds. The band has also released the name of the new album which will be called Forgiveness Rock Record. Maybe the band feels they need to apology for such a long break between albums. No apologies necessary guys, if "World Sick" is any indication, the entire album is going to be fantastic.
Give "World Sick" a listen!

Surprise Me Mr. Davis & Rock Band

If this isn't the tell-tale sign of a changing music industry than I don't know what is. Surprise Me Mr. Davis, the supergroup made up of The Slip, Nathan Moore and Marco Benevento has made its way on to the Rock Band Network before launching a new record. The song "Sissyfuss" which can be heard streaming on the Davis website and MySpace page will be available for gameplay on XBox360 and PS3. Player's can learn to shred like Brad Barr and sing like Nathan Moore before they've even seen them live. The Rock Band Network will certainly act as a new, unique way for band's to get their music out to the video gaming public. I tip my cap to Surprise Me Mr. Davis and their progressive ways.

Earl Greyhound Announces New Album Suspicious Package

Brooklyn-based power rock trio Earl Greyhound has announced the arrival of their brand new studio album titled Suspicious Package, their first in five years. The band had this to say about the new record "Listeners will notice a marked expansion into the higher reaches of the sonic territories. Heavy, dark, groovy and grand. Suspicious Package is a reminder that though ROCK is still only a four-letter word, it can still pack a load of splendor.” Earl Greyhound will be opening a string of shows for Coheed and Cambria in the near future. I had the pleasure of spending some time with Kamara Thomas, bass player and singer for the band while I was in NYC and she is an absolutely lovely and talented individual. Earl Greyhound has more soul than your mama's shoe collection and will rock your socks off with their heavy, 60s inspired blues-rock. Expect big things from them in 2010!

Google Explains MP3 Blog Removals

Some of you may have noticed that your favorite mp3 posting-blog has been wiped from blogger.com. Google had this to say about it "When we receive multiple DMCA [Digital Millennium Copyright Act] complaints about the same blog, and have no indication that the offending content is being used in an authorized manner, we will remove the blog". The post points out that the company's usual policy when receiving a DMCA complaint is to notify the offending blogger and to reset the offending post to "draft" status to allow the blogger to delete it. The post also acknowledged that the company sometimes gets DMCA complaints about material that a blogger is actually legally allowed to use, like the authorized mp3s that publicists and record label marketing departments send out for promotional purposes. "If this happens to you, it is imperative that you file a DMCA counter-claim so we know you have the right to the music in question. Otherwise, if we receive multiple DMCA complaints for your blog, this could very well constitute repeat offenses, compelling us to take action."(pitchfork.com)
