You know you'll be hearing more about that. For now, onto the new schtuff: .................................................. NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 2/16/2009 .................................................. Dan Black - ((un)) (Hours) .................................................. Un melds the musical attributes of Paul's Boutique, Hatful Of Hollow and Supa Dupa Fly with a lost 80s sci-fi soundtrack. He has updated and fleshed out his blogospherically massive Notorious BIG tribute 'Hypntz' into the fully fledged Space Pop anthem 'Symphonies'. Fusing the ubiquitous beat from Rihanna's 'Umbrella' with heavily chopped-up samples from the film soundtrack of John Carpenter's Starman, this is an effortlessly joyous marriage of laptop hip hop with tip top Hip Pop. Carolina Chocolate Drops - Genuine Negro Jig (Nonesuch) .................................................. On their Nonesuch debut, the trio brings exuberance, humor, virtuosity and an infectious acoustic groove to its exploration of a near-forgotten brand of banjo-driven string-band music originating more than a century ago in the foothills of North Carolina. Over the decades, the importance of the African-American role in string-band music was diminished, its sound and significance co-opted by minstrel shows and segregated by record labels. CCD - under the tutelage of nonagenarian fiddler player Joe Thompson, have reclaimed the old-time songs, making them vital and fresh for right now, reasserting in the process the African roots of the banjo. Performing LIVE on Thursday, February 25th at the Royal Theater in Danville, IN. Fukced Up - Do They Know Its Christmas? 7" (self) .................................................. Miss their show on V-Day because of romance or weather? Pity. Luckily we now have their star-studded cover of Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" on vinyl! The song is a tongue-in-cheek cover the '80s classic (written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure), and features vocals from Ezra Koenig (Vampire Weekend), Bob Mould (Husker Du, Sugar), Tegan & Sara, Andrew W.K., GZA, Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio), Yo La Tengo, David Cross (comedian) and Kevin Drew (Broken Social Scene). The 7" also features an unreleased Fucked Up song, "David's Plan." Proceeds from the sales of the album will go to benefit three organizations in Canada working to bring to an end the epidemic of missing and murdered native women. Future Ebay fodder for sure! Adam Green - Minor Love (Fat Possum) .................................................. After a decade with a smirk all but tattooed onto his face, Adam Green finally seems ready to be heartbroken. Minor Love is his most lo-fi, stripped-down record made since his solo debut and, fittingly, it may also be his most melancholic. Gone are his jaunty novelties and glossy production - the last album's trumpets and swooning strings replaced with cheap Casio keyboards - and even the croon that threatened to turn him into the Scott Walker of the Upper West Side has been drastically toned down. What's left is a man who sounds as endearingly awkward and vulnerable as the pose he's pulling on the record's front cover. Local Natives - Gorilla Manor (French Kiss) .................................................. Local Natives make soaring, sky-scraping harmonies, dreamy orchestral melodies, and throbbing tribal beats that bash their way into your soul. Theirs are songs you can dance to almost as well as you can swoon to them. Drawing a line from the vocal stylings of Crosby Stills Nash & Young and the Zombies through the more esoteric edges of post-punk and Afro-beat, this California five piece have communally crafted a brand of indie rock all their own. Best New Music on Pitchfork! Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More (Glassnote) .................................................. Mumford & Sons, West London indie rock quartet, have created a gutsy, old-time sound that marries the magic of Crosby, Stills & Nash with the might of Kings of Leon and the harmonies of Fleet Foxes. Sigh No More was recorded at Eastcoast Studios, where Arctic Monkeys, Brian Eno, Tindersticks and Laura Marling have honored their sound. The band teamed with producer Markus Dravs who has worked with such superstar acts as Arcade Fire, Bjork and Peter Gabriel. Preservation Hall Jazz Band - Preservation (Preservation Hall) .................................................. Over the last year, more than 20 of music's most exciting artists traveled to Preservation Hall in New Orleans to collaborate with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band on classic N'Awlins repertoire. The end result is a timeless and joyous celebration of its music. Proceeds from the sale of the project will benefit Preservation Hall and The Preservation Hall Music Outreach Program. The complete roster of artists includes: Louis Armstrong, Andrew Bird, Terence Blanchard, Pete Seeger, Dr. John, Blind Boys of Alabama, Brandi Carlile, Cory Chisel, Ani DiFranco, Steve Earle, Merle Haggard, Richie Havens, Jason Isbell, Jim James, Angelique Kidjo, Amy LaVere, Anita Briem, Del McCoury, Buddy Miller, Paolo Nutini, and Tom Waits. Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra - Kollaps Tradixionales (Constellation) .................................................. Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra (SMZ) returns with its 6th full-length recording and first since the band's line-up change of summer 2008. Having shed 3 members and recruited one the group officially dropped the "Tra-La-La Band" from its name, played a debut performance as a newly minted quintet at ATP in upstate NY, and embarked on an extensive European tour through the fall of 2008. As Kollaps Tradixionales ably demonstrates, the band has lost none of its raw and frazzled anthemic power and continues to forge bold new ground in its search for a unique hybrid of punk, blues, psych, folk and modern orchestral idioms. Ben Sollee & Daniel Martin Moore - Dear Companion (Sub Pop) .................................................. A collaboration between 3 Kentucky musicians; the songs were written and performed by Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore, produced by and featuring Yim Yames of My Morning Jacket and Monsters of Folk. Dear Companion explores their ties to the place they love and aims to draw attention to the problem of Mountaintop Removal coal mining (MTR) and its impact on the people and heritage of central Appalachia. A portion of the proceeds from Dear Companion will benefit Appalachian Voices, an organization devoted to ending MTR and finding a better way forward. Tindersticks - Falling Down a Mountain (Constellation) .................................................. Picks up where the band's wonderful return to form on "The Hungry Saw" left off, delivering a follow up that brims with similar texture, swinging from exuberance to melancholy & back, with healthy tinges of 'Northern Soul' & Stuart Staples' inimitable deadpan voice anchoring the album throughout. Whitefield Brothers - Earthology (Now Again) .................................................. The Whitefield Brothers are a down-and-dirty funk group that makes raw, organic funk using nothing but instruments and an Afro-Caribbean sense of rhythm. Earthology - an excercise in global-psychedelic-jazz that spans continents in the Brothers' search for new sounds to be united by their trademark fierce funk - features Edan, Mr. Lif, Bajka, Percee P, MED, Quantic and members of Poets of Rhythm, Dap Kings, El Michels Affair and Antibalas. VA - Denton Denton USA (Play Pinball) .................................................. Sweet LP comp documenting the contemporary Denton, Texas music scene. Artists included here are Teenage Cool Kids, Uptown Bums, Pumpers, Wiccans, Cheif Death Rage, Secret Bangs, Wax Museums, Influence, Bad Sports, Fergus and Geronimo, Fungi Girls, Video, Bleach Boys, Teenage Bees, and Thee Crappe Club, in that order. RIYL Matador's Casual Victim Pile Austin (and Denton) compilation! VA - Our Boy Roy LP (Telephone Explosion) .................................................. A tribute to Roy Orbison featuring a handful of today's brightest indie stars. You get classic Orbison tracks from Ty Segall, Demons Claws, Jacuzzi Boys, Haunted George, Cheater Slicks, Red Mass, Charlie & The Moonhearts, Teenanger, Holy Cobras, Bloodshot Bill, and the Camaro Werewolf Band.

Each album has a review and enables you to listen to the entire album before you buy it. Give 'er a spin! Spoon - Transference (Merge) .................................................. Transference, Spoon's seventh album and first full length offering of new material since 2007's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, is already inspiring the likes of NPR to declare that it "may be Spoon's best record yet." Preceded by the infectious single "Written In Reverse" and featuring instant classics "The Mystery Zone," "Who Makes Your Money," "Is Love Forever?" and more, Transference is yet another essential release from the most critically acclaimed band of the last decade. Strong Arm Steady - In Search of Stoney Jackson (Stones Throw) .................................................. In Search of Stoney Jackson was produced entirely by Madlib. The album's conception owes a great deal to World Famous Beat Junkie, J.Rocc, who provided the trio with close to 200 of the prolific beatsmith's tracks to choose from. It's a hip-hop jam session, with the group acting as the rhythm section for an all-star cast of guest vocalists such as Talib Kweli, Planet Asia, Guilty Simpson, Evidence, Chase Infinite, and Phonte of Little Brother. Los Campesinos! - Romance Is Boring (Arts & Crafts) .................................................. Romance Is Boring is an ambitious record that's bigger, deeper, more complex and direct than anything Los Campesinos! have recorded. Produced by John Goodmanson (Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill, Wu-Tang Clan), it's filled - with added brass, strings, drum machines and electronics, plus guesting from Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu, Zac Pennington of Parenthetical Girls and Jherek Bischoff of the Dead Science. Romance Is Boring feels like a band that's not so much grown up, but "fully realized." Mayer Hawthorne - A Strange Arrangement (Stones Throw) .................................................. Mayer Hawthorne's debut of retro-soul gems is earning him fans like Justin Timberlake, Mark Ronson and John Mayer, who tweeted, "Record of the Year goes to Mayer Hawthorne". Hawthorne's self-produced tunes are an eerily accurate homage to the Motown hit machine - think Funk Brothers-style grooves, luxuriant harmonies, Holland-Dozier-Holland song-writing chops and sweetly naive vocals that recall Smokey Robinson and the Chi-Lites. - Rolling Stone Midlake - The Courage of Others (Bella Union) .................................................. The Courage of Others is the lusted after follow-up to Midlake's 2006 cult classic The Trials of Van Occupanther. Existing outside the plane of trends and time, Midlake has conjured a novel world, but one that seems to have existed forever. Looms of intricately textured keyboards, flute, guitars and voice are woven into broad cloaks of sound, all riding the wave of songwriter Tim Smith's sweeping vocals. They blend early Brit folk influences with thick-throated guitars propelling new sounds and emotions. The Courage of Others is positioned to be the latest installment in the important and ever-evolving discography of one of modern music's most unique torchbearers. -------------------------------------------------- More information about shows and more on the horizon is available for the technologically inclined at http://www.landlockedmusic.com/ or http://myspace.com/landlockedbton or http://indiana.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2385198570 or http://twitter.com/landlockedmusic We are looking to buy/trade all your old unwanted CDs & LPs!
