We have limited amounts of restock available now (single albums, not boxsets) and more coming soon - keep your Beatlemania rolling! Several good shows have been moved so, check your info, you don't wanna be at the wrong place! Have we mentioned yet an exciting new venue in Bloomington? Its called The Bishop and is located at 4th / Walnut where the Cinemat once resided (and Rhino's, the Wild Beet, Cellar Lounge, etc). They have a ton of awesome music lined up - check em out! http://www.thebishopbar.com/ ................................................................... NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 9/15/2009 ................................................................... Big Star - Keep an Eye on the Sky [box set] (Rhino) ................................................................... Spanning 1968-75, this 4CD collection uncovers a trove of unreleased demos, unused mixes, alternate versions of songs, and a 1973 concert recorded in Memphis. The lavish packaging includes extensive liner notes, rare photos, and insightful essays about the cult of Big Star and the band's history. The set opens with several songs recorded before Big Star formed, including 'Try Again,' one of the first songs Bell and Chilton wrote together. Big Star inspired a fevered allegiance among fans of power pop, giving rise to a cult of believers who spent decades spreading the gospel. Their enthusiasm turned this obscure Memphis pop band-one that got little airplay, sold few records, and only played a handful of times-into a remarkable rock and roll resurrection story. Tyondai Braxton - Central Market (Warp) ................................................................... Solo album from the Battles' big-haired, chipmunk-on-speed vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. Features a mix of electronics, guitar pedals, and polyrhythmic percussion. On his Warp Records debut and second full-length solo album, Central Market, Braxton takes a radically different course from the "orchestrated loops" that had become his trademark: For the first time in his solo career, he's composed for a real orchestra. The result is an exhilarating mix of acoustic and electronic instrumentation; surprisingly pastoral moments that give way to more clangorous passages. Cougar - Patriot (Counter) ................................................................... Cougars instrumental arrangements fall somewhere between Four Tet, Fugazi, and Nick Drakes guitar work, albeit optimistic as opposed to morose. The bands singular sound is rooted in a keen sensibility of form and texture, more in line with sample-based music and modern classical than indie rock - which isnt to say this is rock-as-academia Cougar also invoke the roaring riff monster, the fist-in-the-air, anthemic head-banger to which so many groups give only an ironic nod. The Dodos - Time To Die (French Kiss) ................................................................... With a title like Time To Die, you might think the Dodos' third disc is their "mature album," a serious undertaking punctuated with string sections and synths. While indie rock's go to guy Phil Ek (Built to Spill, Fleet Foxes, Shins) hopped behind the boards this time, the Dodos' style is still centered around two key elements - the punchy percussion of Logan Kroeber and the Fahey infused finger picking of front man Meric Long. The Dynamites feat. Charles Walker - Burn it Down (Outta Sight) ................................................................... If the first attention-grabbing horn lines of The Dynamites debut album Kaboom! evoke a dramatic curtain call from a late 60s funk concert at the Apollo Theater, it's no accident. After all, that's exactly where Charles Walker, the band's singer and front man, first cut his teeth as a performer. When the revolutionary "new bag" now known as funk first made the scene, Walker was right there in the thick of it, opening for the likes of James Brown, Etta James, and Wilson Pickett, and imbibing himself in a cultural movement's genesis. This sophomore album is no slump and is set to take it to the next level. The Fresh & Onlys - Grey-Eyed Girls (Woodsist) ................................................................... As simple as it sounds, the duo first bought a tape machine 5 years ago. When at first that failed to produce any concrete cuts, Cohen focused on his previous Avant-Pop band, Black Fiction, and Sartin split his time between bands like Skygreen Leopards, Papercuts, and Citay - not to mention his close friend Kelley Stoltz, who ended up releasing the Fresh & Onlys' debut single. The final mix of Grey-Eyed Girls sounds like a natural bridge between the raucous garage rock of the group's debut and the full-on studio record they plan on wrapping for In The Red later this year. Gordon Gano & the Ryans - Under the Sun (Yep Roc) ................................................................... The co-founder and songwriter for alt-rock monoliths The Violent Femmes returns to the scene he helped spawn with Under the Sun. Film-scoring brothers and Bogmen members Brendan and Billy Ryan join Gano for Gordon Gano & The Ryans' first collaboration and Gordon's first non-Femmes release as a front man. Grand Archives - Keep in Mind Frankenstein (Sub Pop) ................................................................... Grand Archives' 2nd full-length album like much of its predecessor, was crafted at Paradise Sound in Index, WA. It's a little darker than the first record and opens with the bittersweet elegy "Topsy's Revenge". Songs like "Dig That Crazy Grave," a buoyant ditty redolent of SoCal and summer afternoons, and the insistent, soaring "Silver Among the Gold" find their place here as well. It's an album made up of disparate elements artfully fit together and brought to life with affecting results. Grizzly Bear - While You Wait for the Others 7" (Warp) ................................................................... The single's b-side features a version of the song sung by none other than the legendary vocalist Michael McDonald, who attended one of the sold out New York City performances earlier this year and was so blown away by the songwriting, four part singing and extremely high level the group performs at, that he ended up in the studio with them the next day. Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon (Motown) ................................................................... Kid Cudi released his first mixtape, A Kid Named Cudi, in July, 2008 as a free download sponsored by New York streetwear company 10 Deep, leading to an introduction and signing to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music imprint, and in turn, to Cudi's co-writing of four tracks on the platinum Kanye West album 808s & Heartbreak. He followed this up with his first official single, "Day N Nite." Deluxe version includes three bonus tracks and a 65 minute DVD. Left Lane Cruiser - All You Can Eat (Alive) ................................................................... LLC plays N. Miss. style blues like a lot of blues bands do these days, they just play it louder and harsher than anyone else, and that includes the North Mississippi All Stars. Joe Evans plays a righteous and riotous slide guitar with snarling lead vocals, while Brenn Beck plays a bass drum, cymbal, washboard, harmonica, and a homemade kit of various thingies to bang on. The dude is a human multi-percussion machine. But this ain't no Black Keys. Their debut sounded like they were composed on a front porch in Tupelo with a Marshall amp set next to the rocking chair. Recorded in Detroit at the infamous Ghetto Recorders, and produced by legendary Jim Diamond. Mayyors - Deads EP 12" (Hurling Man) ................................................................... "Snotty, snarly, fuzzy, punky, noisy, catchy, druggy, crumbling ultra distorted guitars, wild pounding drums, yowled effected vox, tons of feedback, FX all over the place and thick corrosive buzzing bass that drives everything. The same sort of revved up Brainbombs style dirge, super-charged, and eventually growing more and more and more distorted and in-the-red, culminating in what might just be the raddest post-Butthole Surfers drug rock noise guitar freakout ever." - Aquarius Recs Muse - The Resistance (WB) ................................................................... Following 7 years of touring, Muse escalated from being the biggest band in Teignmouth in 1997 to one of the biggest bands in Europe by 2004. With each successive album, they pushed the musical envelope with a fusion of progressive rock, electronica, and Radiohead-influenced experimentation, creating an emotive, passionate sound. Muse's reputation as one of the best live rock bands in the world is well deserved with their exhilirating live performances drewing critical acclaim, industry buzz, and a loyal and rabid fan base. Porcupine Tree - The Incident (Roadrunner) ................................................................... Porcupine Tree is fronted by Steven Wilson, who also is well-known for his work producing other artists, from Swedish Progressive Metal group Opeth, to Norwegian chanteuse Anja Garbarek. One of the only constants in his music is how it continues to evolve and confront the expectations of the band's fans from album to album. The Incident is their 10th album and is in turns haunting, desolate, hypnotic and euphoric, its centre-piece is the title track: a stunning 55-minute musical statement that breaks down into 14 separate and often diverse vignettes. Scotland Yard Gospel Choir - And the Horse You Rode In On (Bloodshot) ................................................................... Rock's bread and butter is romantic tragedy. It has inspired pity and poetry, rage and redemption. The latest record from SYGC takes all those elements, mashes in a little Jarvis Cocker swagger, and spreads on some "That's Entertainment" era Jam and emerges with something new, crisp, compelling, and incredibly intelligent. Sure, they rock, but they also read. Spin calls Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, "a hug for the downtrodden" and it's true a rollicking, dance-your-ass-off, cry 'til you can't cry anymore hug. Breakups are tough, and life never gets any easier. Sunny Day Real Estate - CD/LP remasters (Sub Pop) ................................................................... These are the 2009 reissues of Sunny Day Real Estate's 1994 debut album Diary and 1995 sophomore release LP2 or The Pink Album. These editions have been re-mastered and include bonus tracks (2 on each) as well as newly written liner notes. The LP reissues are both gorgeous 2LP editions. Works Progress Administration - WPA (MRI) ................................................................... WPA consists of some of the most accomplished and legendary musicians in today's American music scene. Founding members Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket), Sean Watkins (Nickel Creek), and Luke Bulla (Jerry Douglas Band, Lyle Lovett) have teamed up with Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek), Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers), Greg Leisz (Joni Mitchell, Wilco, Beck), Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello, Randy Newman), and Davey Faragher (Elvis Costello, Cracker), and long-time acclaimed producer Jim Scott (Wilco, Tom Petty, Rolling Stones). Once they entered Scott's studio, the group was able to collaborate and record 17 songs live in only 5 days.
