Hello Bloomie, how are you today? We're fine thanks for asking. As the year rumbles on, we see less and less new releases on the run up to the holiday season. That means its time to start preparing your end of the year lists as well as your shopping lists! Thanksgiving is still a little ways away but we wanted to give you fair warning that yes, we will be closed for tofurkey day. And yes, we will be open for Black Friday - the biggest shopping day of the year - probably with some surprises! You're going to have to wait and see what that is going to be... This past year we helped push the world premiere of the D-Tour film at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. "D Tour" follows former Bloomingtonian and Rogue Wave drummer Pat Spurgeon on the road with his indie-rock group as he balances the demands of being in a band with the challenges of having a failing kidney - dialysis, dietary restrictions and searching for a living-donor match. It also covers a smaller story arc of local favorite Evan Farrell and his wife Jill. And now it is coming to PBS / WTIU! Tuesday, November 10th - TONIGHT @ 9pm on the program Independent Lens. Please check it out. It might just change the way you feel about that simple organ donor question on your driver's license...

NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 11/10/2009 ................................................................... Bibio - The Apple and the Tooth (Warp) ................................................................... Hot on the heels of his highest selling, critically-acclaimed album Ambivalence Avenue (Best New Music on Pitchfork), Bibio has assembled a companion album comprised of 4 all-new tracks and 8 remixes from luminaries such as Warp's own Clark, Friendly Fires' visual collaborator Rob Lee, as well as Bibio himself. From the clattering, beat-forward re-imagining of 'Dwrcan' by San Francisco's Eskmo to the babymaking, lush downtempo snap of Leatherette's 'Lover's Carvings' remix, to Bibio's own Parisienne carnival re-contextualization of 'Palm of Your Wave', The Apple and the Tooth illuminates the dramatic range of sounds and influences Ambivalence Avenue employs and portrays. Doom - Unexpected Guests (Gold Dust) ................................................................... Legendary hip-hop artist MF Doom digs into his vast archives to mix together some of his all-time favorite productions, collaborations and guest appearances. Whether it be along side legends like De La Soul, Talib Kweli or Ghostface, Doom shows why (as a producer or MC) he is one of the most in demand artists in music today. If that weren t enough Doom also decided to include in this collection some rare tracks that have never been commercially available before. Echo & the Bunnymen - The Fountain (Ocean) ................................................................... The 10th studio album from the veteran Liverpudlian band led by vocalist Ian McCulloch and guitarist Will Sergeant. Along with Teardrop Explodes and Wah! Heat, Echo & the Bunnymen were part of the early-1980s Liverpool scene that was somewhat misleadingly dubbed Neo-Psychedelic. While the Bunnymen bore elements of the Doors' dark, mysterious sound and decidedly abstract lyrics, Punk played as much of a role in the development of the band's music as anything else. What marks their sound more than anything else, though, is a soaring, anthemic quality that can be quite affecting. Wyclef Jean - From The Hut, To The Projects To The Mansion (MRI) ................................................................... Wyclef is hip-hop's unofficial multicultural conscience; a seemingly omnipresent activist. The utopian one- world sensibility that fuels Wyclef's political consciousness also informs his recordings, which fuses hip- hop with as many different styles of music he can get his hands on. Wyclef returns from a collaboration with DJ Drama with a mix tape featuring all new material. Lissie - Why You Running EP (Fat Possum) ................................................................... New EP from the American singer/songwriter, produced by her friend Bill Reynolds, who just happens to be the bassist in Band of Horses. The five songs are stacked with the kind of billowing and rustic sentiments that come from broken hearts that have been patched as well as they can be, gaining that scar tissue that never makes them like new again, but gives them a refined personality, one that's subtle and powerful all in one fling. Love - Lost Love (Sundazed) ................................................................... Love Lost was recorded in 1971, during a brief, little-known period during which Love was signed to Columbia. But after the band left the company, the recordings sat unreleased and unheard. The material is comprised of the unreleased Columbia sessions, plus 5 unreleased acoustic demos from the same period- captures Love in a transitional phase, charting the next step in Lee's idiosyncratic musical trajectory, following the lush garage-psychedelia of Da Capo and Forever Changes, and the bluesier direction of the hardrocking False Start and Out Here. Omar Rodriguez Lopez - Xenophanes (+1) ................................................................... The prolific guitarist and Mars Volta mastermind. Recorded in Mexico, Xenophanes is the first album which finds Omar at the helm vocally and lyrically, as well as musically. Sung entirely in Spanish, the album showcases a side rarely seen before, truly distinguishing this album from its myriad predecessors. Equal parts Mars Volta bombast, El Grupo Nuevo technicality, and a textural richness unequaled on prior solo releases, its a concept album, that tells a story about a character's journey through life, death and re-birth. Vinyl in 2 weeks. Murder By Death - Finch (Tent Show) ................................................................... An instrumental soundtrack to a book by author Jeff Vanermeer. The book reminded the band of Bladerunner - with spore-faced bad guys. Former member Vincent Edwards lent his hand at the piano, organs, and Rhodes. Each song is attempting to recreate a scene or mood from the book - the release shows the page numbers in the book that correspond to each track on the album. Wale - Attention: Deficit (Interscope) ................................................................... Debut album from the Hip Hop artist, who hails from Washington DC. Attention Deficit features production from Mark Ronson, Cool & Dre, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, 9th Wonder, Green Lantern and others. Includes the hit single 'Chillin'' featuring Lady GaGa. The White Wires - s/t (Douchemaster) ................................................................... The White Wires are a three piece from Ottawa. It's a perfect summer time record yet it is just in time for the holiday season. The White Wires have found a harmonious balance somewhere between the lands of goofy and cool, and their songs reflect that brilliantly. This LP features nine songs of maximum sing-a-long-ability without a trace of pretense. A couple of listens and you'll be planning imaginary BBQ's with The White Wires as your entertainment and guests of honor.
