All kinds of exciting happenings here at LLHQ! Which do you want first- the good or the bad news? Well, its the same news really, so here goes: What has been rumor is now truth. Landlocked Music is moving! That's the good. Unfortunately this means that we are going to have to close up shop for a week (that's the bad). We are shutting the door at 314 S. Washington at 5pm on Sunday June 29th and we HOPE to re-open the store the second week of July (7/8-ish) at 202 N. Walnut Ave, just off the downtown square, between El Norteno and Subway in the former Skinquake location. So stock up now for the holidaze! The more you buy, the less we have to move. Pretty please? Like these... NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 6/24/2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------ (Exact arrival dependent on shipping delays and mishaps, sorry) Ry Cooder - I, Flathead CD+book (Nonesuch) ................................................................... The culmination of Cooder's ambitious and fascinating "California Trilogy," in which the singer and guitarist journeys through the real and imagined history of mid-20th century, multi-ethnic California, sampling the sounds of its barrios and byways, its nightclubs and honkytonks. He encounters the disenfranchised, the hopeful, the cheerfully strange and seriously nefarious, along with the occasional alien who races around in a souped-up flying saucer on the desert salt flats. Cooder, a California native, has written a remarkable 104-page novella set to accompany this disc, a surreally funny page-turner of a tale about itinerant musician and the various characters he meets in his travels. Alejandro Escovedo - Real Animal (Back Porch) ................................................................... Alejandro's 9th solo album, produced by Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T.Rex, Thin Lizzy), Real Animal is a collective journey through Escovedo's various musical incarnations from punk rock to string quintets and it is as introspective as it is retrospective. The 13 tracks unravel Escovedo's musical autobiography while presenting him as a masterful American musician, whose palette encompasses eloquent strings and shattering blasts of punk rock. Hercules & Love Affair - s/t (Mute) ................................................................... Debut from the electro outfit led by Andrew Butler and featuring Antony (from Antony & The Johnsons), Nomi, and Kim Ann. This album is 2008's most exciting dancefloor concoction, an arthouse vision of pure pop by way of futuristic electronica and classic dance music, where beautiful, bruising harmonies and tensile rhythms collide in resurgent soundscapes and emotive disco workouts. The album is co-produced with Tim Goldsworthy of DFA Records. Odd Nosdam - Pretty Swell Explode 2CD (Anticon) ................................................................... Inimitable producer Odd Nosdam returns with Pretty Swell Explode, an enhanced 2CD collection (one album, one EP) of remixes, B-sides, videos, and original songs, including 8 tracks entirely exclusive to this set. The first disc is bombastic and beat-blown, and well displays Nosdam's impressive range as a remix artist. Two of the record's strongest pieces are remixes created solely for this project. A year of work and various snippets from the Hood catalogue went into the crunchy, spooked-out opus, with Adams's words disembodied and scrambled into the heaving song body. Jay Reatard - Singles 06-07 (In the Red) ................................................................... By now, Jay Reatard should be known to most everyone paying any attention to this whole indie/punk/pop/garage/shitgaze/blahblahblah. Former front guy for The Reatards and Lost Sounds and current solo sensation, the man is nothing if not prolific. After recording his debut solo LP, 2006's Blood Visions, Reatard released a slew of singles and EPs on labels across the globe; all were pressed in limited quantities and now fetch serious coin on eBay. RZA as Bobby Digital - Digi Snax (Koch) ................................................................... As ghetto super-hero Bobby Digital, The RZA has collected a fanatical fan base in addition to the Wu-heads that have remained loyal to him over the years. Digi Snacks consists of all-new panoramic productions, along w/guest production from David Banner and other side artist appearances from various Wu-Tang members. The Saturday Knights - Mingle (Light in the Attic) ................................................................... The Saturday Knights have been a crucial part of the Seattle music scene, taking on a room of timid rock and rap dwarves with pop smarts as thick as Sonny Liston's fists. Mingle is a flawlessly fluid integration of vintage rock, lady-loving soul, and trailer park punk. DJ Suspence uses the catchiest rhythms, weaving them through crisp bursts of surf guitar and classic rock. Rhyme-swappers Tilson and Barfly's superb storytelling address twisted every-day-yet-subterranean subject matter, laid out in sweet barbershop harmonies. Assisting on the debut are the likes of The Dap-Kings, Soundgarden's Kim Thayil, a dash of the Muscle Shoals Horns, and Nirvana producer Jack Endino playing drums. Like Iceberg Slim chopped with MC5, Mingle boasts big beats and lighthearted laments without irony or pretension. Sigur Ros - Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust (XL) ................................................................... Inspired by the unfettered feeling of the acoustic performances filmed during Heima, Sigur Ros adopted a looser approach in creating their 5th album. The album consequently is fresher and more human than anything they've previously recorded. Rough edges, cracked notes, and the sound of fingers on strings are audible, resulting in tracks that prove to be the band's sparsest and most affecting work to date. Worry not though, plenty of electric guitar can be heard throughout the album ensuring their commitment to challenging sonic limitations. Venetian Snares - Detrimentalist (Planet Mu) ................................................................... New album of disgusting ejacutronic rave horn from Aaron Funk, a return to the energetic early days of Jungle. Detrimentalist is really a roots record, revisiting Jungle when it was more about energy and experimentation than a strict formula. The days before they took out all the good bits between the kicks and the snares! With more and more snares between the snares from Snares, Detrimentalist is Jungle at its most invigorating! Aaron is not watering it down this time: these beats shoot thick and sticky! Bass that makes your colon drop like you grew a new nut out your ass! (Not my words... hehe!) The Watson Twins - Fire Songs (Vanguard) ................................................................... The debut full length for identical twins Chandra and Leigh Watson. The Kentucky-born duo count folk, gospel, blues and country as early influences. The album was produced by Russell Pollard and J. Soda (members from various incarnations of Sebadoh, Earlimart, Everest, and Folk Implosion) and is the follow up to the Watson Twins 2006 self-released and critically acclaimed "Southern Manners" EP as well as their coming out from their smash Rabbit Fur Coat album with Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley. VA - Big Blue Ball (Real World) ................................................................... Big Blue Ball is the long-awaited collection of stand-out tracks culled from the all-star, pan-global collaborations that took place over 3 years of Peter Gabriel's legendary gatherings at his Real World Studios in the English countryside. Produced by Gabriel, Karl Wallinger (of World Party, Waterboys) and Stephen Hague (Pet Shop Boys, OMD), its a nonstop stream of poignant, sterling performances by a stellar lineup of artists- including Gabriel, Wallinger, Sinead O'Connor, Natacha Atlas, Iarla O Lionaird and James McNally (both of Afro Celt Sound System), Papa Wemba, Joseph Arthur, Tanzania's late music legend Hukwe Zawose, Hungary's Marta Sebestyen, Tim Finn, Cameroonian star Francis Bebey, Vernon Reid, Justin Adams, Jah Wobble, Billy Cobham, Rupert Hine, gospel group the Holmes Brothers, flamenco guitarist Juan Canizares, Japanese percussionist Joji Hirota, and many more... in all totaling 75 artists from over 20 countries. VA - Numero 020 - Eccentric Soul: The Tragar & Note Labels (Numero Group) ................................................................... Lost for 30 years among the kudzu and Coke bottles of central Georgia, the Tragar & Note labels are the latest unearthings to join the landmark Eccentric Soul series. Spread out over 2 CDs, it is a ridiculously thorough survey of the twin labels that operated out of Atlanta between 1968-77. Ranging from southern to northern soul, classic R&B to modern, dancers to romancers, the 50 track collection chronicles nearly every sub-genre of popular black music being made at the time. The accompanying 32 page booklet features a dozen unpublished photos, memorabilia, label scans, and a 7000 word essay that gives a rich overview of not just these labels, but the Atlanta soul scene as a whole.

STAFF PICKS!

England's Supergrass have been cranking out great albums consistently for the past 13 years. They have somehow also managed to stay consistently under the radar of most U.S. rock fans. Their debut album is one of the most enduring and classic releases to come out of the britpop movement of the mid 1990s. Basically a power pop record, this album spices up the usual power trio sound with a weird lyrical cheekiness and punk attitude that have always set the band apart. Every track on this album is a hit, chocked full of the kind of melodies that get stuck in your head for days and won't let you take the disc out of your changer for months. Nothing groundbreaking here, just timeless melodies and a carefree, fun rock 'n roll spirit that is totally infectious. Equally great live even now, these boys deserve way more stateside recognition. - Cyrus Tones on Tail - Everything! (Beggars Banquet, 1998) ................................................................... During the early 80s, Bauhaus guitarist Daniel Ash formed Tones on Tail with Glenn Campling as an outlet for songs that wouldn't work in his band with Peter Murphy. When Bauhaus broke up soon thereafter, drummer Kevin Haskins would join the fold as well. Not long after that, Ash became unsatisfied with Tones on Tail and Bauhaus looked to be reforming with David J's departure from the Jazz Butcher and Murphy's failed project with Dali's Car. The reunion never happened (Peter went solo instead) and thus Love and Rockets was then formed with the remainder of Bauhaus. Everything indeed collects everything from ToT's varied catalog and piles it into one superb package. An obvious must for fans of Love and Rockets or Bauhaus, but also an excellent collection for lovers of early 80s glam / synth / electro darkness from musicians at the top of their game. - Heath ------------------------------------------------------------------ Upcoming Bloomington shows that Landlocked Music is excited about: 6/26 - Flood Benefit w/ Racebannon, Good Luck, Gravitas, more @ Bluebird 6/27 - Eli "Paperboy" Reed and the True Loves @ Bear's 6/28 - The Wailers @ Bluebird 6/28 - Static Thought @ Rhino's 6/30 - Samantha Crain @ the Cinemat 7/2 - Faceless Werewolves @ Bear's 7/9 - The Cheat @ Bear's 7/10 - El Olio Wolof / Timbre @ the Cinemat 7/16 - Kentucky Nightmare @ Bear's 7/18 - Titus Andronicus @ Bear's 7/18 - Time Again @ Rhino's 7/19 - Colour Revolt @ Waldron 7/25, 26, 27 - Forecastle Festival - Louisville (Method Man, Dr Dog, Tortoise, Z-Trip, Film School, Extra Golden, Catfish Haven, + MUCH MORE) 8/3 - Harry & the Potters @ Rhino's 8/8 - James & April Combs (Arson Garden) @ Bear's 8/12 - Bon Iver @ Waldron 8/15 - Junior Brown @ Bluebird 8/17 - Oneida @ Bluebird 10/21 - Magnolia Electric Co. @ Buskirk-Chumley Theatre 11/19 - Parts & Labor @ Bear's We have tickets and additional information for many of these wonderful performances.
