Ahhh January 29th... remember the good old days that happened on this day? Like in 1989 when Billy Joel sang the national anthem at the Super Bowl, in 1979 when Emerson, Lake and Palmer disbanded, in 1996 when Garth Brooks refused to accept his American Music Award for Favorite Overall Artist because Hootie and the Blowfish had done more for music that year than he did. Memories.... Lets start on our own memories of 2008 with these potential news items: You know Stephen Malkmus (Pavement) and you love him. Now you can pre-order his new CD/LP 'Real Emotional Trash' and get all kinds of goodies... stream the entire album NOW, a month before its release, + b-sides, live performances, and a cool poster. All we need is your name and email address, so let us know! NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 1/29/2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------ (Exact arrival dependent on shipping delays and mishaps, sorry) Beck - Odelay [deluxe 2CD] (Geffen) ................................................................... Now, a dozen years after its original release, Odelay has been expanded into a 2CD deluxe edition with the addition of 2 never-before-released tracks, a soundtrack contribution, an earlier issued track, and 15 recordings heard on UK, Japanese and Australian albums, singles, and EPs never released in the US. Future of the Left - Curses CD/LP (Too Pure) ................................................................... Debut album from the edgy trio featuring former McLusky members Andy Falkous (guitar/vocals) and Jack Egglestone (drums) plus former Jarcrew bassist Tregurtha Mathias. Curses finds the three members in a frenzied and furious combative mood with no intention of taking any prisoners. Helio Sequence - Keep Your Eyes Ahead CD/LP (Sub Pop) ................................................................... After 3 albums and 10 years of touring and recording, The Helio Sequence have recorded their most dynamic, extraordinary work to date. Keep Your Eyes Ahead marries the Portland duo's signature layered keyboards and impossibly big guitars with crisp songwriting and a newfound appreciation for minimalism. Hello Blue Roses - The Portrait Is Finished (Locust) ................................................................... The sweetheart duo of Dan Bejar (Destroyer, New Pornographers) and Sydney Vermont have tied the knot around a timeless singer-songwriter album with their 13-track debut. Hello Blue Roses folds the gentlest details of the last few decades together, drawing on everything from an unabashed love of 80s AOR a la Prefab Sprout to prime Aquarian-age femme folk of the 60s and 70s. Human Bell - s/t (Thrill Jockey) ................................................................... Dave Heumann and Nathan Bell's gorgeous guitar duets form instrumental canvas painted in the warm colored hues of folk and rock music, and simultaneously a blank canvas for the listeners themselves to paint. Nathan is most known for playing bass in Lungfish. Dave has played with Cass McCombs, Bonnie Prince Billy, Anomoanon and Papa M, in addition to his work as leader of Arbouretum. Joe Jackson - Rain (Ryko) ................................................................... When Joe Jackson went into a Berlin studio with the rhythm section that had accompanied him off and on for nearly 3 decades he had the most strikingly simple line-up in mind: just piano, bass, drums and his own unmistakable, eternally yearning voice. With its adventurous spirit and piano-based sound, Rain boasts plenty of humor, swing and sophistication among barbed social commentary and even some punk-like rocking out. Shelby Lynne - Just A Little Lovin' (Lost Highway) ................................................................... Shelby's new CD was inspired by one of her favorite singers, Dusty Springfield. The album features 9 clasic songs associated with Dusty and one stunning original written by Shelby, inspired by Dusty. The Mars Volta - The Bedlam is Goliath (Universal) ................................................................... To critics and haters, the Mars Volta's Cedric Bixler Zavala and Omar Rodriguez Lopez will forever be known as the guys from At the Drive In. Which is unfair, especially considering they've been crafting specious neo-prog since the turn of the millennium. The Mars Volta aim high - Yes, King Crimson, fusion-era Santana. Radar Brothers - Auditorium (Merge) ................................................................... Their fifth full-length is filled with beautifully layered melodies of wistful ease and delicate longing. They've expanded the range and texture of the trademarked Radar Bros. sun-baked and dreamy California psychedelic soul. This is the perfect record for a long drive on a tree-lined two-lane country road. Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling into Place 7"/CDS (XL) ................................................................... Import single from Radiohead's newest monster. CD version includes two live tracks (Down is the New Up, Last Flowers) and the 7" has one live track (Videotape). Get em while they last (not long!). Shindig Magazine - Volume 2 Issue 2 ................................................................... Includes the story of Gary Walker & The Rain. The album will be reissued on CD this year too -- this will be this superb psych-pop album's first official release! Elsewhere, interviews with The Sonics, Wendy Flower talks about that wonderful album by Wendy & Bonnie, part two of the Moby Grape story, a fun look at the evolution of what we call Garage Fashion, the fab Oz psych-pop of Procession and a whole lot more. Vampire Weekend - s/t (XL) ................................................................... This NY 4-piece draw on their diverse backgrounds and interests, experimenting with African guitar music, the Western classical canon, hazy memories of Cape Cod summers, winters in upper Manhattan, and reggaeton. "Equal parts shruggy New York indie strumming and groovy Afro-pop, Vampire Weekend's organ-and-drum runs highlight narratives about relationships, punctuation, and sometimes both" - Spin. Named "Hot New Kids" by Rolling Stone. LP contains MP3 coupon. Vandermark 5 - Beat Reader (Atavistic) ................................................................... Ken Vandermark and Chicago's finest fivesome once again team up with Bob Weston to notch out their 12th LP for Atavistic over the course of 10+ years. Features tracks dedicated to giants such as Evans, Ligeti, Roach, Rutherford, Friedlander, and more. First 1,000 copies come with "New York Suite" bonus CD. Vetiver - You May Be Blue [remix 12"] (Gnomonsong) ................................................................... During the recording and mixing of To Find Me Gone, producer Thom Monahan and Vetiver mainman Andy Cabic talked about attempting something more deconstructive and electronic than what the two had previously done. For this, they selected the album's initial two songs, "You May Be Blue" and "Been So Long." Quinn Walker - Lion Land / Laughter's An Asshole (Voodoo Eros) ................................................................... Quinn Walker is a sweetly sinister suburban swami, roaming highways and cul-de-sacs with his one-man neu rave nursery school band. His voice stretches from medieval falsetto to autocratic bass. His songs dwell in the canyon between the child-endangering occult and the classic Top 40 from the 50s. Industrial beats are stocked by hems of cinematic synths suckering you, as a sunset might, into having an emotional moment. Chris Walla - Field Manual (Barsuk) ................................................................... The debut solo album from Death Cab For Cutie founding member. An extraordinary album of atmospheric and politically minded alternative pop that displays his singular songwriting vision while simultaneously showing the degree to which his aesthetic has informed Death Cab's sound over the years. Wire Magazine #288 - Fubruary 2008 ................................................................... Vladislav Delay - What makes today's Techno so different, so appealing? Interviews with Sightings, Hot Chip, Cath & Phil Tyler, Warrior Queen & Wooden Shjips. Plus: George E Lewis's Invisible Jukebox, Hideaki Takahashi's 'media opera' in Cross Platform, Drew Daniel's Global Ear from Baltimore, Nick Sylvester's Epiphany, Damon & Naomi's Inner Sleeve plus much, much more. Xiu Xiu - Women as Lovers (Kill Rock Stars) ................................................................... Xiu Xiu has long been known as prolific, bordering on crazed, but with this new album, each song is so different from the next and so fully realized, the group's creative ferocity is simply astonishing and rapidly taking on new dimensions. No other Xiu Xiu album has ever been more approachable or communicative on a basic human level. Limited edition comes w/ bonus DVD! VA - Victrola Favorites: Artifacts from Bygone Days (Dust to Digital) ................................................................... Recordings made between the 1920s-50s compiled by the Seattle band Climax Golden Twins from their collections of rare 78rpm records and design ephemera. Deluxe 144-page clothbound, full-color book with 2 CDs featuring Burmese guitars, Chinese opera, Persian folk songs, fado, hillbilly, jazz, blues and much, much more. Sounds like vintage music from around the globe. Looks like a clothbound book printed on extremely fine museum quality wood-free paper and is meant as a visual manifestation of the sounds contained on the CDs. Hundreds of beautiful images of sleeves, photos, labels, needle tins and more. VA - Welsh Rare Beat Vol. 2 (Finders Keepers) ................................................................... Second installment compiled by Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), Andy Votel, Dom Thomas and Finders Keepers. Here for your enjoyment are songs mostly about the sky, flying, seagulls, clouds and ghosts. But also songs that deal in political activism, The Mabinogi, or issues of Welsh identity. Welsh language covers of UK and American hits of the day sung in a traditional Welsh style counteracted by traditional Welsh Folk songs played in contemporary Anglo-American styles.
