Let's keep this succinct: New Music Happy Hour next Tuesday (1/26) at The Bishop at 8pm: tunes, beers, giveaways, fun! Kurt Vile instore on Sunday February 14th - exact time still tba. Pit Stop Music Marathon this March - http://pitstopmusicmarathon.com/ . Record Store Day 2010 is Saturday April 17th! Now let's go off to the races... .................................................. NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 1/19/2009 .................................................. Aziz Ansari - Intimate Moments For A Sensual Evening (Comedy Central) .................................................. Aziz Ansari presents his debut standup comedy album. You may know Aziz from his work on "Parks and Recreation", "Human Giant", or maybe "Flight of the Conchords". Perhaps you know him from his role as Randy in Judd Apatow's film, "Funny People". Or perhaps you saw him at the Funny Bone this past year. Whatever the case, why not buy this album? What are you going to spend the money on instead? A JUICER? Do you really need a juicer? No, you'll buy it and never juice anything, I promise. This is a comedy album that you will definitely enjoy and get much use out of, unlike that useless juicer. Danny Barnes - Pizza Box (ATO) .................................................. Known early on for his work with the seminal Austin alternative country band, the Bad Livers, Barnes has developed a profile for himself as one of the most progressive and genre-bending artists of his craft. With Pizza Box, Barnes spins tales of American life like a latter-day John Steinbeck, wielding banjo and pen with equal effect, and the character of his voice as the perfect mouthpiece to truly bring these songs and stories to life. He tells tales with the wry wit and humor of Garrison Keillor, the lyrical eccentricities and intellect of Randy Newman, performed with the southern twang and swagger of Levon Helm. Cold War Kids - Behave Yourself EP (Downtown) .................................................. New EP from the Southern California-based indie pop rockers containing four brand new tracks: 'Audience', 'Coffee Spoon', 'Santa Ana Winds' and 'Sermons'. According to the album artwork (and in keeping with their psychosis), the songs made them do it: "They kept hanging around, started trouble, made friends, and insisted they be heard." Editors - In This Light & On This Evening (Fader) .................................................. In This Light & On This Evening represents a significant step forward for the band following the huge successes of their debut album The Back Room and the #1 follow up An End Has A Start. Bassist Russell Leech and guitarist Chris Urbanowicz are now resident in NYC whilst singer Tom Smith has become a father. These changes added to the sense that In This Light And On This Evening was the start of a new chapter for Editors and the band came together in London for the recording sessions with producer Flood with a determination to push their sound into wholly new territory. Whilst all 4 members were keen to make a far more electronic record, they were also determined to 'give the machines a human feel'. Eels - End Times (Vagrant) .................................................. The 8th studio album from the band led by Mark Oliver Everett (aka E). End Times is the sound of an artist growing older in uncertain times. An artist who has lost his great love while struggling with his faith in an increasingly hostile world teetering on self-destruction. Largely self-recorded on an old four track tape machine by E in his Los Angeles basement, it's a 'divorce album' with a modern twist: the artist equates his personal loss with the world he lives in losing its integrity. Bill Fay - Still Some Light (Coptic Cat) .................................................. Bill Fay released two brilliant but poor-selling albums between 1967 and 1971 before disappearing from the public eye. He spent much of the following decade writing, rehearsing, and occasionally performing- all with no contract or record company support. In recent years, reissues of his now-sought-after original albums along with a pair of releases containing previously unreleased material have renewed interest in the English artist. Coptic Cat is pleased to announce the release of Fay's long-awaited next collection of old and new music. Still Some Light consists of 43 songs on 2 CDs with a total playing time of over two hours. Contains alternate recordings of old songs, unreleased old songs and lots of new songs. The Hot Rats - Turn Ons (Fat Possum) .................................................. What began as Gaz and Danny taking a little time out from their Supergrass commitments for a studio lark has now resulted in a modern day psychedelic punk descendant of Bowie's Pin Ups: often irreverent and sometimes initially unrecognizable but always loving and respectful re-imaginings of 12 classics spanning 40 years of rock, punk and even hip hop. Icons receiving the celebratory treatment range from the Kinks, Velvet Underground and Pink Floyd to the Sex Pistols, Beastie Boys and more. Fela Kuti - Music is the Weapon DVD (Knitting Factory) .................................................. Fela Kuti is to African music what Bob Marley is to reggae: its prophet. All contemporary forms of black music, from funk to electronic, owe something to the irresistible groove of the Afrobeat sound that he created. He recorded more than 60 albums and spent a lifetime fighting against political corruption in his homeland of Nigeria, where the people affectionately called him their Black President. Shot in Lagos at the peak of his career in 1982, this documentary contains interviews with Fela detailing his thoughts on politics, panafricanism, music and religion, alongside unpublished versions of songs. An essential film. Motion City Soundtrack - My Dinosaur Life (Sony) .................................................. The band's major label debut finds them reuniting with producer and friend Mark Hoppus of Blink-182, who first teamed up with the band when he produced their hit record Commit This to Memory. Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Sonic Youth) was brought in to mix the album and the end result is another step forward: 12 new songs that are lyrically contemplative and poignantly honest while still cleverly culturally astute and music that harkens back to early Motion City Soundtrack while employing the musicianship and maturity the band has gained over the past 7 years. Mountain Mocha Kilimanjaro - s/t (Jazzman) .................................................. Following the Dap-Kings from the USA, the Poets Of Rhythm from Germany, and the New Mastersounds from the UK, It's time to make way for a neat dose of super duper hard 'n' heavy funk from Mountain Mocha Kilimanjaro. Although these funk sides were recorded over a year ago, the reserved nature of the Japanese music scene has kept the band recordings hidden from the ravenous ears of funk fans around the world. That's until Jazzman went on a DJ trip to Tokyo recently where they stumbled across the album and instantly knew they had hit upon something big. Old Crow Medicine Show - Greetings from Wawa (self) .................................................. Originally released in 2000, this CD has been out of print for seven years. It includes the fan favorites "Gospel Plow" and "Reuben's Train". Now available exclusively at finer independent retailers across the land! 23 tracks. Old Flames - Lucky Epitaph (self) .................................................. Finally, after several years of work and a major reconstruction effort following the passing of LonPaul (aka LP) Elrich (who is all over this album- playing drums, keyboards, guitars, singing and also producing) we are proud to be offering "Lucky Epitaph" by Chris Kupersmith (Uvula, Fabric) and Old Flames. RJD2 - The Colossus (RJ's Electrical Connections) .................................................. RJD2 returns with his highly anticipated 4th album. The album showcases the myriad of styles RJD2 has spanned as a maverick, respected producer for himself, and others, Collaborating with MCs, vocalists, and various instrumentalists, it displays an urgency and sophistication rarely seen. Weaving together his trademark rock solid drums, soulful vibes and horns, samples, and anything else available, the album is a kaleidoscopic look both forward and back. Part Impressions, part Daft Punk, part Thin Lizzy. Spoon - Transference (Merge) .................................................. Transference is the 7th album from Spoon, their fifth on respected imprint Merge Records, and their first made without the help of an outside producer. It follows Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, a US top-10 album which received year-end best of accolades from NPR, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Spin, Onion, New York, Paste, and Stereogum, among others. Written in Reverse pink 7" single also available! Surfer Blood - Astro Coast (Kanine) .................................................. Debut full-length from buzzy Florida band praised by NY Times 'Velvet Underground and punk riffs, reverberating textures, African-style guitar filigrees, grunge crescendos, power-pop choruses headed for anthems and, yes, some surf-rock twang', SPIN 'you'll be hearing more from this band for sure', Rolling Stone 'giant-sized choruses, festooned in glitter and lit up with neon', Pitchfork 'lo-fi clangor, glo-fi harmonies, punchy retro-garage concision, never-out-of-style classic rock song-craft'. Check em at the upcoming Pit Stop Music Marathon, too! VA - Crazy Heart OST (New West) .................................................. The soundtrack features 16 songs including the original songs performed in the film by Jeff Bridges and Colin Farrell, The Weary Kind performed by Ryan Bingham (the theme song heard in the film's trailer and closing credits) and music featured in the film by Waylon Jennings, Townes Van Zandt, Buck Owens, Sam Phillips and many more. The soundtrack was co-produced by 10-time Grammy Award winner T Bone Burnett. The Vinyl Zone (get into the groove!) ..................................................
