Another no miss situation brought to you from your friends at Landlocked Music! .................................................. NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 5/18/2010 .................................................. Band of Horses - Infinite Arms (Columbia) .................................................. Infinite Arms is Band of Horses' third full length album and major label debut. Produced by Band of Horses with additional production by Phil Ek and mixed by Dave Sardy, the songs project the essence of the different American locales that became the setting for the recording and songwriting process, yielding the group's most focused and dynamic recordings to date. Black Keys - Brothers (Nonesuch) .................................................. 'Brothers' was primarily cut in Muscle Shoals, a setting that turned out to have more in common with the Akron factories where the Keys used to record. The place was desolate, the town depressed, so once again the duo slipped into a world all its own. The album was mixed by engineer Tchad Blake, a veteran of sessions with Los Lobos, Pearl Jam and Peter Gabriel. Says Carney, 'The way he approaches mixing is the same way we approach making music. Respecting the past while being in the present.' The Jayhawks - The Bunkhouse Album (Lost Highway) .................................................. The Bunkhouse Album is the self-titled debut from the alt-country pioneers originally released in 1986 on Bunkhouse Records with a pressing of only 2,000 vinyl copies. This hard-to-find album is finally available on CD and again on vinyl for the first time in nearly 25 years. The Jayhawks features Mark Olson, Gary Louris, Marc Perlman and Norm Rogers. After listening, it's clear why the band became a catalyst in what would be coined "alt-country". LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening (DFA) .................................................. What is happening, you ask? Well, if you are asking, you're probably in the wrong place. It's the beyond hyped new album from LCD Soundsystem, following 2007's game changing Sound of Silver (plus the Nike-sponsored remix excursion 45:33), and James Murphy's surely profile-raising work on the Greenberg soundtrack. Free lithograph with purchase -- while supplies last! Jamie Lidell - Compass (Warp) .................................................. Recorded in LA, NY and Canada, Compass is Jamie Lidell's most eclectic album yet. Songs shift, chop, change and mutate genres and forms before our very ears. It's got funk in spades; the jaw-dropping power of the vocals is stronger than ever; it rocks, it pops, it's sweet, angry, hard, soulful and soft, often within the span of a single track. It's the restless album that finally matches the soul of its creator. Jamie's fellow travelers on Compass include Beck, Feist, Gonzales, Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear and Pat Sansone of Wilco. Mojo Magazine - June 2010 - AC/DC cover .................................................. In this issue: Not many bands would respond to the death of their beloved singer by reassembling to record the second biggest-selling album of all time, but then not every band are AC/DC. He reinvented reggae, revolutionised dub, gave the Clash "a start", burnt down his legendary studio and mentored Bob Marley. In this month's MOJO Interview, Lee Perry reveals all. 11 years after Screaming Lord Sutch's death, the deranged demon of British rock'n'roll and politics is remembered by his bandmate Alan Clayson. Plus Pavement, Malcolm McLaren, Bob Dyaln 1970, Don McLean, tons of reviews and a FREE CD! Pearly Gate Music - s/t (Barsuk) .................................................. Pearly Gate Music is an incredibly gifted gentleman by the name of Zach Tillman who makes beautiful, challenging, simple-yet-complicated songs structured around his extraordinary singing, vivid lyrics, and unusual melodic sense. Sometimes conjuring the feeling of a punk rock religious revival in an old-time prairie tent, sometimes stripped down to spare acoustic-guitar and lovely croon, Tillman's music sounds as if it were written and performed by a bedraggled dust bowl poet influenced by whatever popular songs from the poor folk circuit were being sung after dinner in the parlors of his youth and who somehow managed to supernaturally absorb the sound of Lubbock circa 1955, Laurel Canyon circa '68 and Berlin circa '80. Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street [deluxe] (Universal) .................................................. Regarded as one of the greatest albums in rock 'n' roll history and one of the most defining of the Stones' catalogue. Upon its release more than 3 decades ago, Exile innovatively wove varying musical genres, instruments and even artists into a compelling rhythmic masterpiece. The Stones nixed the influences of a flower-child era and directed their creative process with the edgier, excessive, "more is more" approach of the 70s. The 2nd disc (Not on the LP version) features 10 tracks originally recorded during the Exile era including 'Plundered My Soul', 'Dancing in the Light', 'Following the River' and 'Pass The Wine' plus alternate versions of 'Soul Survivor' and 'Loving Cup'. The Sadies - Darker Circles (Yep Roc) .................................................. Furthering the focused songwriting and recording aspirations reached on New Seasons, The Sadies bring their signature blend of country, psychedelic, rock and surf into rifle-scope focus, further underscoring their reputations as musicians' musicians. Always at the top of the list when discussing musical chops and live intensity, The Sadies are now more intent than ever on making their mark as songwriters. In one turn as heavy as a sledge, and on the other flitting across melodies with the ease of so many sparrows, The Sadies prove once again that denying them now is simply prolonging your conversion. Tracy Thorn - Love and its Opposite (Merge) .................................................. Partnering again with Berlin-based producer Ewan Pearson, Tracey Thorn has created an album that is striking in its simplicity. Recorded in Berlin and London, it features contributions from Hot Chip's Al Doyle, The Invisible's Leo Taylor, Jens Lekman, Nashville songwriter-drummer Cortney Tidwell, and Lost Valentinos' guitarist Jono Ma. The tight, often undecorated arrangements for guitar, piano, bass, and drums (and a smattering of strings and woodwinds) confront the full uunvarnished weight of complex relationships in flux.

Each album has a review and enables you to listen to the entire album before you buy it. Give 'er a spin! Minus the Bear - Omni (Dangerbird) .................................................. 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!
