Congratulations - You made it through another school year here in Bloomy. Even if you aren't a student you know that a pat on the back is earned for dealing with it! We're ready to bring the thunder to your summer, come on over and git er dun! Landlocked Music presents: MC5 A True Testimonial. Friday May 28th at The Bishop - $2 - film starts at 9pm - Nervous Shakedown DJs at 11pm. You will NOT find this movie at any theater, video rental or website - this is your ONLY CHANCE to see this amazing piece of cinematic glory. This long overdue documentary tells the tale of one of the most threatening and dangerous bands ever to grace the American music scene. Sporting the level of desperation only recognized by true cast-out socially degenerate miscreants, The MC5 proved over their short existence that even the most lost and hopeless souls will have a voice. You loved em at Lotus, they fed your ears at Taste of Bton, and now - Landlocked Music is pleased to present a live instore performance from The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band! Saturday June 12 at Landlocked. FREE! 3pm. Refreshments from Upland! Then go over to the Bluebird later that night and check out the full on electric live set. Another no miss situation brought to you from your friends at Landlocked Music! .................................................. NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 5/11/2010 .................................................. CocoRosie - Grey Oceans (Sub Pop) .................................................. CocoRosie are two American-born sisters, Sierra and Bianca, who started making music together in Paris in 2003. Their first 3 albums were released on Touch & Go Records and earned critical acclaim both overseas and at home. The nomadic duo (currently residing in New Mexico) spent much of 2008 writing and recording in Buenos Aires, Melbourne, Berlin, New York, and Paris, finding amazing and diverse musicians to collaborate along the way. Davila 666 - 12" EP (Rob's House) .................................................. Davila 666 are in full-on take no prisoners mode. When asked for a couple songs for a 7", they delivered 5 near perfect pop anthems that would never fit on a 7". So they threw them on a 12" and what youre getting is maybe their best release to date. These songs are instantly addicting but unlike other Puerto Rican imports consumption is no crime, it's encouraged! The Dead Weather - Sea of Cowards (WB) .................................................. Sea Of Cowards is a robust and vigorous second act, filled with primal, bone quaking rock rhythms and the same stellar urban blues and throbbing sleaze as its predecessor; but this time The Dead Weather push their sound even further, brilliantly building upon their raw chemistry to create one of the most vital sounding albums you'll hear all year. Free button pack with purchase! First Base - She's Boy Crazy 7" (Play Pinball) .................................................. From the same team that brought you the Denton TX compilation and the Fungi Girls LP. First Base is a bedroom pop band from Toronto, Canada with some of the smartest and simplest lyrics you'll hear, it's a hook riddled mess you won't want to miss. Jamming out four new songs, the hooks on this record are gonna tear into your brain. Sage Francis - Li(f)e (Anti) .................................................. A marked evolution for Sage Francis. It features Sage's confrontational lyrics set to compositions by Chris Walla (Death Cab), Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse), Jason Lytle (Grandaddy) as well as members of Calexico, DeVotchKa, Califone, and other indie icons. Gayngs - Relayted (Jagjaguwar) .................................................. Vocally, Gayngs is a triumph. Zack Coulter (Solid Gold) shines from the jump, floating over the record with his airy, haunting melodies. Fans of Bon Iver will recognize Vernon's familiar falsetto, but will flip when they hear his Bone Thug's-style R&B, while P.O.S. abandons his genre entirely for a soul inspired tenor. With each song written at 69 BPM's, and tripped-out transitions from song to song to song, it is truly an audio experience from start to finish. Holy F**k - Latin (XL) .................................................. If opposites really do attract, it makes perfect sense that Holy F**k would choose a barn in rural Ontario to record a series of dynamic electro-noise pop tracks that compose their latest full-length release, titled Latin. There is an added dimension of song craft on Latin, it brings noise and melody together with an uncanny sense of optimism - but at the same time they have not lost the chaotic and euphoric energy that they are known for. Indian Jewelry - Totaled (We Are Free) .................................................. Woozy, heart-pounding and subject to double-vision, Totaled is more than a record for people doing poppers. It's an all-in album, an unsprung clock, and it moves sideways in time. In it is the swamp electro of 2003's We Are The Wild Beast, the nightmare throb of 2005's Invasive Exotics, and the sonic angel dream of 2008's Free Gold. It's a crash course in sound + vision. These are songs like iced tongues. Songs for the love hole, mind hole, sink hole, worm hole. Male Bonding - Nothing Hurts (Sub Pop) .................................................. Nothing Hurts is the Sub Pop debut and first full-length for Dalston-based trio Male Bonding. The album was recorded in the fall of 2009 in New York and was mixed and mastered by Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound. The National - High Violet (4AD) .................................................. A nervy, melodic, explosive and beautiful set of songs. The music is wide-ranging in its moods, by turns intimate and rough, expansive and spare, full of stark angles and atmosphere. Berninger's singing wild, half-broken, sly evokes a feeling of being haunted, by love, by paranoia, by something just out of reach. High Violet may be The National's most thematically twisted record to date but it somehow also manages to be their most infectious and immediate. Thee Oh Sees - Warm Slime (In The Red) .................................................. Warm Slime carries on in the same tradition as the group's previous LP, Help, showcasing their more electrified and rocking side, in comparison to other recent home-recorded releases. The centerpiece is undoubtedly the mind-bending title track, which clocks in at nearly 14 minutes and takes up the entirety of the album's A side. It's a psych epic of 'Inna Gadda Da Vida' proportions! Dwyer's guitar playing is at its quadra-spazzed best here, and the vocal interplay with Brigid Dawson gives it a B-52s crossed with Troggs vibe. Awesome! Phosphorescent - Here's To Taking It Easy (Dead Oceans) .................................................. Here's to Taking It Easy is the culmination of the past three years. A grand statement, the album we dreamed Phosphorescent would make. Just 20 seconds into the album you hear something so immediate, so purposeful, no infectious, it's clear something special is underway. This is the Phosphorescent record made for any time, any season. Portugal the Man - American Ghetto (Equal Vision) .................................................. Alaska's Portugal The Man have claimed the title of one of America's most creative rock bands but are most notable for their ambitious output of recordings. Since 2006 they have released an extensive 5 albums on top of 4 EPs. Continuing to stray from industry stratagem PTM are hard to pin to one genre but are heavily rooted in indie rock while incorporating elements of blues, soul and folk. Traditionally, while remaining true to their sound they are still constantly evolving and that remains true on their latest creation. UNKLE - Where Did the Night Fall (Surrender All) .................................................. The 5th studio album by the British electronic act. This effort sees the musical mastermind of the group, James Lavelle, team up with a whole range of talented guest collaborators, (from former Screaming Trees front man Mark Lanegan to Clayhill vocalist Gavin Clark) to create a sonically dense record that encompasses musical styles as diverse as Psychedelic Rock and Minimal House. Includes the singles 'Natural Selection' featuring The Black Angels and 'Heavy Drug'. Woods - At Echo Lake (Woodsist) .................................................. The distance between 2007's At Rear House and At Echo Lake may at first seem only semantic, but it more properly represents a move from a kind of informal back porch jam ethos to a fully-committed vision of the infinite possibilities of group playing. They are an odd proposition even in the outre company of vocalist Jeremy Earl's Woodsist roster, perpetually out of time, committed to songsmanship in an age of noise, drone and improvisation, to extended soloing, oblique instrumentals and the usurping use of tapes and fx. At Echo Lake feels like a diamond-sharp distillation of the turbulent power of their live shows. VA - Florida's Dying Party Platter LP (Florida's Dying) .................................................. Floridas Dying is proud to present the party album of the year and here just in time for summer. 13 tracks about brand new dances that will be sweeping the nation from Americas greatest party bands. Features tracks from: Johnny and the Limelites, Nobunny, The Yolks, Hunx and His Punx, The Rantouls, Sexcapades, Puddin Pops, Coconut Coolouts, Personal & The Pizzas, Slippery Slopes, Garbos Daughter, Sweet Sixteens, and Brians Dirty Business.

With deep bass lines, mesmerizing syncopated guitar riffs, provocative lyrics and stimulating keyboards, OMNI explodes with a bursting energy and unpredictable experimentation. OMNI continues Minus The Bear's shape-shifting evolution and is a culmination of their past influences and present inspirations. Over the years, Minus The Bear has won over legions of fans and critics with an exhilarating live show and a sound that is uniquely their own. Broken Social Scene - Forgiveness Rock Record (Arts & Crafts) .................................................. Produced by John McEntire (Tortoise & The Sea and Cake), the album features BSS alumni: Leslie Feist, Amy Millan and Evan Cranley of Stars, Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw of Metric, Jason Collett, Ohad Benchetrit of Do Make Say Think and Years, John Crossingham, Marty Kinack, Leon Kingstone and Julie Penner. Uniquely, the song "Sentimental X's" features Leslie Feist, Emily Haines and Amy Millan singing together for the first time on the same song. Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma (Warp) .................................................. When global bass music matriarch Mary Anne Hobbs recently told The Fader "Flying Lotus, for me, is like the Hendrix of his generation", it seemed more than an audacious opinion, and with the arrival of Cosmogramma, it's revealed as a revelation. In the past couple of years since his debut album, Los Angeles, Flying Lotus has grown into the position of being far more than a producer, he has helped materialize a far-reaching strain of musical ideology that has encompassed not only a global family of like-minded artists, but also a nearly infinite palate of planetary (and interplanetary) sonics. Kaki King - Junior (Rounder) .................................................. Kaki King has spent the past decade gathering critical acclaim for her unparalleled guitar skills. Not only is she the first ever female named a "Guitar God" by Rolling Stone, but she also received a Golden Globe nomination for Into the Wild and that  same year, appeared in the film August Rush, and performed on the Foo Fighters' Grammy® winning album as well as opened for them during their Australia tour.  Kaki reaches new heights with her debut album, Junior. This collection of songs delivers twists and turns: from exuberance & anger to heartbreaking melancholy, and sonically from experimental pieces to accessible pop. Junior defies categorization and expectation, making it a recording to be reckoned with. Kris Kristofferson - Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends: The Publishing Demos 1968-1972 (Light in the Attic) .................................................. For the past five years, Light In The Attic has embarked on a dream project - working with the blessing of the legendary Kris Kristofferson to compile a selection of his demos from the late 1960s and early '70s. We are proud to present this 16-song collection, an amazing snapshot of the formative years of one of the giants of contemporary American music. The recordings found on this compilation of previously unreleased material include early versions of songs that would become standards of his impressive catalog. Included on this title are: "Me and Bobby McGee," "Just The Other Side of Nowhere," "Come Sundown" and "Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends." This release is an intimate portrait of an important artist at the beginning of a long, storied career. -------------------------------------------------- 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!
