Ok I lied, in the new book, Harry forms one of those fantasy metal bands whose font you can't read on the album cover. They do songs about warlocks and dragons and wenches, its true! Roll on over here and check out these great new releases if you don't believe me... and don't forget two great shows this week that we are helping out with, wednesday and friday night. All that info is below - check it. Select New Arrivals for the Week of 07/17/2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------ (Exact arrival dependent on shipping delays and mishaps, sorry) Dorothy Ashby - Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby [reissue] (Dusty Groove) ................................................................... A brilliant set of funky and spiritual tunes, set to full backings from Chicago soul arranger Richard Evans. Dedicated to the writings of Omar Khayyam - one of the forces guiding Dorothy's more spiritual sound at the end of the 60s, clearly opened up in a way that's not unlike the direction of Alice Coltrane's work, but a lot more focused and a lot more funky. Ashby plays her usual jazz harp, but also koto and even sings a bit. The group features Stu Katz on vibes & kalimba, Lenny Druss on flutes, and Cash McCall on guitar - all in a groove that's really a precursor to the Earth Wind & Fire generation of the Chicago scene! Includes the amazing break "The Moving Finger" - worth the price of the album alone. The Cribs - Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever (WB) ................................................................... Produced by Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos, this debut album from British sensation The Cribs, blasts perfect pop songs with provocative punk power. The melodies are brash and memorable, the hooks undeniable, and the lyrics spiced with intelligence and healthy cynicism. Editors - An End Has A Start (Fader) ................................................................... Following the debut release 'The Back Room', this English band is back with their 2nd album. Their brand of sweeping indie rock is frequently compared to the sound of bands such as Interpol, Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen, Franz Ferdinand, Kitchens of Distinction, The Chameleons, Big Country and U2. Galactic Zoo Dossier #7 (Drag City) ................................................................... GZD is a psychedelic music and culture fanzine. Not only that, but the creator, Steve "Plastic Crimewave" Krakow, chooses to express his appreciation entirely in pen-and-ink. With issue #7, Krakow has dug deep into the bins to satisfy his music tooth and the results show in ruminations on such far-flung artists as Donovan, Rasputin's Stash, Beauregarde, HP Lovecraft, Tiny Tim, Third World War, Crushed Butler, Manfred Mann and many others. There's also a 2CD of rare psychs and stomps called Teenage Meadows of Infinity / From the Ashes and another 8 pages of Damaged Guitar God and Astral Folk Goddess Trading Cards - Yowza! Jason Isbell - Sirens Of The Ditch (New West) ................................................................... Accomplished guitarist and songwriter Jason Isbell, formerly of Drive By Truckers (DBT), releases his debut solo album. A resident of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Isbell clearly has Catholic taste in his roots rock. His backing band throws together a pleasant melange of pedal steel, organ, strummed acoustic guitar, and heartfelt Americana vocals. Featuring back-up work by most of the rest of DBT as well as Spooner Oldham and David Hood. Isbell's best songs will remind you of Richard Buckner, Raymond Carver, and Neil Young. Magic Numbers - Those the Brokes (Astralwerks) ................................................................... The Magic Numbers are back with the stunning follow-up to their critically praised debut. With the luxury of being able to revisit and remodel the album, released in the UK late last year, they now offer up a superior, revised and re-sequenced US version. By forgoing the ballad-heavy leaning of the UK track listing in favor of a better paced, more varied tempo song mix, this US version provides the most engaging presentation yet of their extraordinary heartwarming guitar-pop whose fan club includes Noel Gallagher and Brian Wilson as members. Matty Pop Chart - Everyone Does Everything (Plan-It-X) ................................................................... The second full length by ex-Abe Froman drummer turned singer/songster, Matt Tobey. This time Matty gives us a little more of himself with the usual tools: classical guitar, piano, squeeze box, ukulele, etc. Meat Puppets - Rise to Your Knees (Anodyne) ................................................................... The Meat Puppets are legends - in the sense that bazillions of people actually love them just for being themselves and doing whatever suits their skewed tastes, prods their warped senses of humor and echoes their unique experience as blotter-addled, southwestern desperados with guitars, on a vision quest beyond the punk rock, beyond where the spirits of CSN&Y, Black Flag and the Louvin Brothers crouch together by firelight beneath the Mesa. This reunion of the twisted, high-desert trio is devoid of the original drummer, yet it does include what Kurt Cobain once referred to as "the Brothers Meat": Curt and Cris Kirkwood and their hippified fusion of punk, country, metal & psychedelia. Oh No! Oh My! - Between The Devil And The Sea EP (Dim Mak) ................................................................... Drawing influences from art-pop makers like Belle And Sebastian and The Magnetic Fields, this Austin trio delivers an assortment of catchy pop melodies with a wholesome and somewhat quirky charm. Songs chock full of sunshine, wit, and feel-good energy, which translates into lively, interactive performances that'll get your head bobbing and hands clapping. Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators - Keep Reachin Up (Light in the Attic) ................................................................... Fans of Amy Winehouse and Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings will find much to love on this passionate and suave Mod-Soul collaboration from the lovely and talented vocalist Nicole Willis and celebrated Finnish Funk collective The Soul Investigators. The Brooklyn-born Willis has worked with both Curtis Mayfield and the Brand New Heavies, while the Finnish-bred Soul Investigators have crafted 2 previous full-lengths. Adored by the UK's Northern Soul DJs and fans, international momentum for the full-length has been primed by world famous DJ Gilles Peterson. MOJO and Record Collector gave the Finnish edition four stars and Dusty Groove called it an "instant classic." Yesterday's New Quintet - Yesterday's Universe (Stones Throw) ................................................................... Yesterday's Universe continues to expand with astral speed. Since their first appearance on wax with 2000's Elle's Theme EP followed shortly thereafter by their debut LP, Angles Without Edges the group of esoteric jazz cats that make up Yesterdays New Quintet started a revolution of dusty, hazy, jazz instrumentals with a hip-hop sensibility. With mastermind producer Madlib leading the way, each member of the combo went on to record his own solo album or start his own offshoot project all within the Yesterdays New Quintet family. With Yesterday's Universe, Madlib collects his favorite unreleased tracks from the Quintet's many incarnations. VA - Now-Again Re:Sounds, Vol. 1 (Now Again) ................................................................... A compilation of Now-Again tunes re-mixed, re-edited and re-vamped by today's top producers and artists. Presented in two different formats - a 17 track CD and a deluxe box set containing seven 7-inches. (some songs in the box set do not appear on the CD version, and vice versa) Look forward to re-mixes and re-edits of heavy funk tunes by the likes of Cut Chemist, J.Rocc, Oh No, Todd Terry and Kenny Dope. Rappers such as Percee P, M.E.D., Edan and Guilty Simpson lace tracks with rhymes. Truth & Soul Records complete an Amnesty demo song, while Koushik and newcomers Sound In Light do entirely original recordings of tunes from Now-Again's catalog.

(Columbus) - http://myspace.com/robedot OS creates sounds that correspond to the nature of being and embody the ideals of nothingness. Live sets are best viewed blindfolded at the epicenter of the sound waves, or with eyes securely fastened in the upright position while allowing drool to pool at your feet. Waves of guitar and electronics roll through the ears creating patterns that are comparable to LSD trips through black holes. GET SUCKED IN! Lush, shimmering guitar ambience and hypnotic, propulsive instrumental heaviness wind through the dusty highways and burnt twilight skies of the 2nd album from Richmond, Virginia's Souvenir's Young America. Intensely beautiful melodies that drift on lonesome harmonica strains and sparkling, celestial electronics, shot through with mystic, western slide guitar, passages of crushing angular riffage, rolling tribal drumming, and transcendent blues. The sound draws from the collected DNA of forebears like Popul Vuh, Earth, Labradford, and Neurosis, yet they form a powerfully evocative instrumental language all of their own. Robe. are a 3 piece ghost sludge / drone band that create frozen guitar walls, epic fog laden trombone melodies, and heavy waves of deep bass and distorted feedbacks. Originally started as a sort of Twin Peaks tribute they've grown into much more. In the vein of bands such as Sunn O))), Boris, Black Boned Angel, and Wolf Eyes with a touch of a horror film soundtrack thrown in for good measure. Releases on Black Horizons and Cavernous Records.

Lightning Bolt is somewhat of an apt comparison, though they don't waste time with jamming. Les Savy Fav or Oneida might be too. But this is a different beast, on their way to forming an original and completely engrossing sound on their own. It's heavy and brilliant too, if that helps.

He belongs to a line of innovators that includes Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce and Andy Kaufman. A one of a kind performer that will leave you either scratching your head or bursting at the seams in laughter. Faced with an entire generation of young people being raised on nothing but over-produced radio rock and emasculated thrift-store hipster whining, Tremendous Fucking lives to grab an audience by the throat, smash their emo glasses, and go home with their girlfriends. Their sound - the Jesus Lizard molesting the Pixies while McLusky takes pictures - and explosive stage presence leave a trail of damaged eardrums, broken psyches & rocked asses in their wake.
