Will there be cake? Probably. ................................................................... NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 2/24/2009 ................................................................... Black Lips - 200 Million Thousand (Vice) ................................................................... Garage rock veterans, The Black Lips will following up the widely successful Good Bad Not Evil with the release of 200 Million Thousand. Simple, straightforward songwriting mesh perfectly with the Black Lips distinctive howl to create a time capsule rife with nods to simple pleasures and a world of worry. Robbert Bobbert And The Bubble Machine - s/t (Little Monster) ................................................................... Robert Schneider is a present day renaissance man; a man whose creativity knows no boundaries. Schneider, the main creative force behind The Apples in Stereo, will be releasing his debut childrens album under the moniker of Robbert Bobbert & The Bubble Machine. CD includes comic and coloring books! Joe Bonamassa - THe Ballad of John Henry (Fontana) ................................................................... Number 1 Billboard blues guitar virtuoso Joe Bonamassa's 7th solo album. Twelve tracks, split between originals and selections by songwriters like Ailene Bullock, Tom Waits, and Tony Joe White. Bonamassa started his professional music career at the age of 12, a child prodigy, and first opened shows for BB King. This album marks Joe's 20th year as a professional musician and he still credits BB King with giving him his first break. He tours extensively, had his own show on XM radio, has a guitar named for him, and is a spokesman for the "Blues in Schools" program. JJ Cale - Roll On (Rounder) ................................................................... Roll On is JJ Cale's first batch of new solo material since 2004's To Tulsa and Back and comes on the heels of his gold selling 2006 collaboration with Eric Clapton, The Road to Escondido, which also earned him his first Grammy. Comprised of 12 new songs, including the previously unreleased title track recorded with Eric Clapton, Roll On finds Cale still in love with making music and passionately creating future classics that he'll one day tuck into his very own chapter of the Great American Songbook. Clem Snide - Hungry Bird (429) ................................................................... The mystery of indie rock semi-legends Clem Snide's missing 6th recording 'Hungry Bird' is finally solved as the much anticipated album will finally see the light of day. Self-described by Eef Barzelay as a 'loosely-conceived, post-apocalyptic fairytale'. Gentleman Reg - Jet Black (Arts & Crafts) ................................................................... With a voice from the heavens and an unforgettable look, Gentleman Reg has made fans of some of Canada's best talent, performing with acts such as Tegan and Sara, Broken Social Scene, Stars and The Hidden Cameras. His latest work, Jet Black, features Bryan Webb of Constantines, Elizabeth Powell of Land of Talk, Katie Sketch of The Organ. "Sincere and memorable, the melodies and lyrics make this a front runner for most exciting record of the year." - Sara Quin (Tegan and Sara) Laura Gibson - Beast of Seasons (Hush) ................................................................... NPR favorite, and reason behind Bob Boilan's much beloved "Tiny Desk Concert" series. Steeped in the fingerpick-guitar rudiments of folk music, inspired by the expressionism of classic jazz vocalists, and finding common ground in the minimalism and ear-taunting of the avant-garde, Gibson alights on a branch of the music tree that no one else has found. Beasts of Seasons also features contributions from friends and pop-folk contemporaries: Laura Veirs and The Decemberists' Nate Query. Catch her live in Bloomington this April opening for Damien Jurado! Husband & Wife - Dark Dark Woods ................................................................... Local lovelies Husband & Wife return with ten brand new songs to follow up their 2006 full-length Operation:Surgery. It's a little more sinister than the last one, and a little less dramatic sometimes, too. It's also got some catchy tunes that make great use of mood and negative space. Sometimes what you don't play is just as important as what you do. Chris Isaak - Mr Lucky (Reprise) ................................................................... Chris Isaak, the epitome of modern musical cool, is back with Mr. Lucky, his first non-holiday studio album since 2002. Filled with his distinctive, sweetly moody, slyly sexy retro-pop, Mr. Lucky debuts alongside the television premiere of 'The Chris Isaak Hour', a weekly music-and-talk series on A&E's Bio Channel. Isaak's fans will consider themselves fortunate that new music from their Mr. Lucky has finally arrived. Jason Isbell And The 400 Unit - s/t (Lightning Rod) ................................................................... Southern rock is a minefield of rebel flags, drinking songs, and dudes yelling "Free Bird!" With Drive-By Truckers, singer-guitarist Jason Isbell learned to embrace some of those cliches; on his gritty, vibrant 2nd solo album, he begins to transcend them. "However Long" personalizes working-class disaffection into a defiant anthem; stormy rocker "Soldiers Get Strange" is almost certainly the best tune ever written about post-traumatic stress disorder; and multiple tales of warm, lonely barrooms and the warm, lonely relationships they breed uncover new truths while traversing well-trod emotional terrain. - Spin K'Naan - Troubadour (A&M) ................................................................... Recorded primarily in Kingston, Jamaica where K'Naan was granted unprecedented access by his friends Stephen and Damian Marley to their father Bob Marley's original home studio at 56 Hope Road and the legendary Tuff Gong studios Troubadour is a Hip Hop album like no other. Somalia's K'Naan successfully blends samples and live instrumentation for a sound that's both rooted in traditional African melodies and the classic Hip Hop tradition. Features Kirk Hammett of Metallica on the song 'If Rap Gets Jealous'. Van Morrison - Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl (Listen) ................................................................... Astral Weeks became a cult favorite and was seen almost as a religion to many artists. On November 7 & 8, 2008, four decades later, at the age 63, Van Morrison revisited Astral Weeks live in its entirety at the Hollywood Bowl, and delivered a jawdropping, awe-inspiring performance. Morrison did not simply re-create what he did 40 years ago in a NY studio, but instead took the songs to a dramatically higher contemporary level. The jazz-rooted compositions of Astral Weeks are poetic stories of young love and the quest to find one's place in life. They were, and remain, ideal source material for musical improvisation that gives way to the sense of wonder for which Morrison has always striven. Xiu Xiu - You Can't Hear Me DVD (MVD) ................................................................... Half live concert footage, half music video; You Can't Hear Me is a series of experimental vignettes that expound upon the dark irony of the accompanying performances from the critically acclaimed band, Xiu Xiu. From jellyfish floating in the sky to hand-drawn animation, award winning director Courtney Fathom Sell explores a variegated palette of expression. Featuring favorite tracks like 'Bog People', 'Boy Soprano', and 'F.T.W.', the latest single from their recently released LP, Women As Lovers; You Can't Hear Me is a unique and dreamlike experience from start to finish. VA - Warchild: Heroes (Astralwerks) ................................................................... A unique and unprecedented collaboration between some of the biggest names in music history and today's hottest artists. Some of the biggest legends in music history selected a classic track from their own songwriting catalog and nominated an artist from the next generation to create a modern reworking of that classic song. The result - Beck doing Dylan, Kooks doing Kinks, Hold Steady doing Springsteen, Hot Chip doing Joy Division, Lily Allen doing the Clash, Yeah Yeah Yeahs doing the Ramones, Franz Ferdinand doing Blondie, Duffy doing McCartney, Estelle doing Stevie, Rufus doing Brian Wilson, Scissor Sisters doing Roxy Music, Peaches doing Iggy, Adam Cohen doing Leonard Cohen, Elbow doing U2, The Like doing Elvis Costello, and TV on the Radio doing Bowie.
