Hey, what it is? How are things going at Landlocked you ask? Dandy, swell, peachy keen for the most part. The new releases are slowing down for the year (with some very notable exceptions, some of which are below). Heath is still galavanting across thee Olde Worlde with ye Early Day Miners. And I never thought I'd think this, let alone admit it in public, but I'll be happy when he gets back, mainly so I (Jason) can dig in to the boxes of used vinyl that are rising volcano-like in our basement. In the short term however, I'm looking forward to going to Cincy this Thursday to see King Khan & BBQ. See you there? Thanks to everyone who came in last Friday. You made our Black Friday the blackest ever. And while we're on the subject of biz, let me remind you that we're always excepting gift cards from chain stores, matching them dollar-for-dollar. Sort of a gift exchange program. You ditch the mega-corp  gift card your well meaning aunt gives you for Kwanzaa, you get the music you want, we get to buy a giant barrel of mayonnaise. It's a win all around! .................................................... NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 12/01/2009 .................................................... Bad Sports – S/T (Douchemaster) .................................................... Bad Sports are a three piece featuring members of Wax Museums and High Tention Wires. But they are a bit more playful, but don't be surprised if this record reminds you slightly of The Reds or the Marked Men LP. The Bravery - Stir The Blood CD/LP+CD (Island) .................................................... Featurng John Hill (who has previously worked with Santogold and M.I.A.). They supported Green Day on their 21st Century Breakdown Tour  in Summer 2009. A return to form is the word on the street. Homostupids - Load CD/LP (Load) .................................................... A tunnel ride through a reverb soaked youth hall that spreads confusion like manure in the spring soil. Fast, noisy garage rock. R. Kelly - Untitled CD (Jive) ................................................................... Ninth album from the R&B superstar. What more can we say? Still has the keys to our ignition. Lost Controls – World Went Black / Contribute 7’’ (Barn House) .................................................... Ex-Bloomingtonians now living in Austin, formerly of the mighty Bikini Spiders and the Horribly Wrong (don’t miss their reunion show Dec. 11 at the Bishop). Snotty catchy amped-up punk with just the right amount of synth. Sounds like it should. Dig the righteous 3D cover art and glasses. Lucky Luke - Traveling For A Living (Mexican Summer) .................................................... The brainchild of Simon Shaw, formerly of Glasgow legends V-TWIN, and Morag Wilson. Folky psych somewhere between Nico and Sandy Denny-era Fairport Convention. Limited to 500 copies. Megasus – S/T LP (Wild Power) .................................................... Four dudes who all work for Harmonix (developer of the video games Guitar Hero and Rock Band) decided to assemble a metal band that combines elements of titans like High on Fire, Slayer, Pentagram, and Karp. Featuring longtime Providence musicians—most notably BRIAN GIBSON, bassist for LIGHTNING BOLT (here showing off his own crushing drum skills)—the group set out simply to have fun and write killer heavy metal songs. Steve Moore – Fever Dream b/w 30,000 Feet Deep (Mexican Summer) .................................................... Steve Moore is one half of instrumental duo Zombi, the bass player of Brooklyn heavy prog/stoner rock outfit Titan. “Fever Dream” is a pensive mix of Balearic synth pads with the ominous brood of Goblin’s Italian horror soundtracks. “30,000 Feet Deep” stays right up on the beat, softand alluring, yet potentially deadly. Ty Segall – My Sunshine / Fuzzy Cat 7” (Trouble in Mind) .................................................... This garage savant unleashes two exclusive tracks.The A-side, "My Sunshine" is a grungy anthem, while "Fuzzy Cat" indulges Segall's 'Anglo-philic' tendencies, channeling Roy Wood or Ray Davies' mad pop sensibilities thru his own hazy, reverb-drenched filter. One of four excellent new singles this week from the Trouble In Mind label. Shannon And The Clams - I Wanna Go Home (1-2-3-4- Go!) .................................................... The sound of a prom band in 1964 getting dosed with acid and having the sweetest lovelorn freak out. Imagine a brawling Etta James, backed up by the 13th Floor Elevators singing Shangri La's tunes. For fans of Thee Oh Sees, Nobunny, King Khan and BBQ Show. The Vinyl Zone (get into the groove!) .................................................... Flaming Lips – Embryonic (WB) John Mayer - Battle Studies LP (Sony) Whip It! - OST 2xLP (Rhino) Tom Petty – Live Anthology (Reprise) Tegan and Sara – Sainthood Shrinebuilder –S/T LP (Neurot) Muslimgauze - Uzi Mahmood (Soleilmoon) Also Released This Week .................................................... 50 Cent - Before I Self-Destruct CD+DVD (Aftermath) Oren Ambarchi - Intermission 2000-2008 CD (Touch) Beyonce - I Am Sasha Fierce [Deluxe Edition] CD (Sony) Birdman - Priceless CD/CD+DVD (Cash Money) Bon Jovi - The Circle CD (Mercury) Susan Boyle - I Dreamed A Dream CD (Columbia) Brian Jonestown Massacre - One [Reissue] CDEP/12" (A Records) Ben Davis - Charge It Up CD (Lovitt) Buddy Holly - Not Fade Away: Complete Studio Recordings And More 6xCD (Hip-O Select) John Lee Hooker - Live At Soledad Prison/Never Get Out Of The Blues Alive [Reissue] 2xCD (BGO) Lady Gaga - Fame Monster [Deluxe Edition] 2xCD (Streamline) Lovvers - Think CDEP (Wichita) Medeski, Martin & Wood - Radiolarians: The Evolutionary Set 5xCD+2xLP+DVD (Indirecto) Megasus - Megasus CD (20 Buck Spin) Mercury Program - Chez Viking CD/12?
