IU Union Board & Spirit of '68 present: VAMPIRE WEEKEND w/ BEACH HOUSE & DUM DUM GIRLS Sept. 6 @ IU Auditorium. $32 Student, $35 General. Student pre-sale Wed June 23 at 10am at IUauditorium.com and the Auditorium Box Office. General public on-sale Friday at 10am. We will NOT be selling these tickets. Online and box office ONLY. Don't hesitate, students can put this on their bursar account, it will sell out! Speaking of sold out, TORTOISE at The Bishop this Saturday is SOLD OUT. Please don't ask us for tickets cuz we ain't got none. What we DO have tickets for that we are excited about is BUDOS BAND. They are an unstoppable powerhouse live band that features members of The Dap-Kings, Menahan Street Band and Antibalas. The quintessence of Staten Island soul - replete with tight rhythms, blistering breakbeats, blaring horns and, yes, perhaps even a tinge of psychedelic doom-rock. Twelve people who all lock into sync with the military precision of James Brown and Fela Kuti's tightest '60s and '70s ensembles. The most anticipated show of summer? Lotus wishes it was this cool. Our friends in Louisville are stoked to announce this year's LebowskiFest, July 16-17, featuring the Felice Brothers as well as the normal Lebowski hijinks. Keep an eye on Landlocked's Facebook and Twitter cuz we are going to be giving away tickets to LebowskiFest in the very near future.

NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 6/22/2010 .................................................. Chemical Brothers - Further (Astralwerks) .................................................. The culmination of nearly two decades of psychedelic exploration, Further is a record that ebbs and flows like the band's legendary live shows, an immersive collection that finds The Chemical Brothers at their most unrestrained and melodic best. Here, West Coast power pop harmonies sit beside German Motorik rhythms while My Bloody Valentine-esque sonic manipulations plane across the top of early house basslines. Coliseum - House with a Curse (Temp. Residence) .................................................. How much change is a band willing to endure in pursuit of a dream? In the case of Coliseum, as much as it takes. In the 3 years since their 2nd LP, No Salvation (Relapse), the Louisville trio have changed labels, producers, and replaced the frenetic breakneck speed of former drummer Chris Maggio with the emphatic rhythmic stomp of Carter Wilson all in the service of producing the album they always dreamed of. Fol Chen - Part II: The New December (Asthmatic Kitty) .................................................. For its 2nd album, Highland Park sextet Fol Chen presents Part II: The New December, songs of malaise and miscommunication set to dark pop and glitch-riddled chamber funk. Since the band's inception, they have remained a mysterious entity, its membership disguised by masks and aliases, its lyrics appearing as transmissions from a fictional world. Opening for Liars at Rhino's on July 21st. Macy Gray - The Sellout (Concord) .................................................. Sparkling melodies and personal lyrical insights dazzle throughout The Sellout, an authentic and confidently delivered statement from one of contemporary music's most skillful and creative forces. The highlights are rich and plentiful including the alluring, soul-pop groove of "Lately", "That Man" a mouth-watering slice of Ting Ting's inflected 80's new-wave, the Joan Jett meets T- Rex thump and screaming Slash guitar of "Kissed It", and the beguiling, "Still Hurts", a vulnerable, emotion filled keep-sake ballad, just to name a few. Herbie Hancock - The Imagine Project (Hancock) .................................................. An unprecedented project featuring collaborations between Herbie and superstars from every region of the planet. It utilizes the universal language of music to express its central themes of peace and global responsibility. Featuring Seal, John Legend, Konono No1, Pink, India.Arie, Jeff Beck, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Chieftains, Lisa Hannigan, K'Naan, Los Lobos, Tinariwen, Dave Matthews, James Morrison, Chaka Khan, Wayne Shorter and more?! Health - Disco2 (Lovepump) .................................................. Disco2 is the new project for Health and sees all tracks from the Get Color LP remixed by the likes of Crystal Castles, Tobacco, Salem, Javelin, Gold Panda, Small Black and many others. The new single is "USA Boys" which is mixed by studio legend Alan Moulder (My Bloody Valentine, Nine Inch Nails). The enhanced CD features 12 additional remixes accessed only via your computer. Holiday Band - Memory Map (self) .................................................. Local superheroes Mike Bridavsky, Mike Dixon, Josh Morrow, and Matt Tobey probably should not have had the time to start a new band. But they did anyway. And it was a natural and intuitive collaboration. Their album "Memory Map," finished less than 9 months after their genesis, combines each member's distinguishable style into a compelling mishmash of song. Sharing members of Good Luck, Push-Pull, Rapider Than Horsepower, Impure Jazz, Prayer Breakfast and Matty Pop Chart, this ought to be an interesting combination! Kele [Bloc Party] - The Boxer (Glassnote) .................................................. Kele's debut solo album. Produced by XXXchange (Spank Rock, The Kills), Kele pushes the boundaries of his own melodic sensibilities, embracing pop, rock, and electronic music. Continuing with some of the sounds that had begun to permeate newer Bloc Party, he strove to make the sounds of his new compositions as raw and cerebral pop, with influences ranging from Gary Numan and Adam Ant to Michael Jackson and Bjork, Kele has made a wild and fearless album marked by both its ambition and its sense of the new. Steve Mason - Boys Outside (Domino) .................................................. Steve Mason is the mind behind The Beta Band. He's one of the Britpop generation's few genuinely brilliant and original songsmiths. His post Beta Band work under the monikers King Biscuit Time and Black Affair were both largely electronic based projects. 'Boys Outside' is a return to "traditional" rock instrumentation and arranging that easily draws comparisons to his early work with The Beta Band on "The 3 EPs" album. Nina Nastasia - Outlaster (Fat Cat) .................................................. The new album from Nina Nastasia, Outlaster is an achievement of staggering beauty by an artist of pervasive, quiet influence undergoing a sea change in musical form. Though the signposts of Nastasia's sensibility are still present: songwriting impeccable but not fussy, lyrics intelligent and provocative but not overly enamored with their own cleverness, her work continues to startle and intrigue even Nina Nastasia obsessives. Perfume Genius - Learning (Matador) .................................................. Even though he is only in his 20s, Mike Hadreas has a story with the twists and turns of a person who has seen a lot of darkness. This extraordinary debut album explores that world through home-recorded songs that bring to mind early Cat Power, Elliott Smith, Sufjan Stevens and Pink Moon-era Nick Drake. Mostly simple vocal and piano, the minor-key melodies work their way into your brain and stick there. Robert Randolph & Family Band - We Walk This Road (WB) .................................................. Produced by T Bone Burnett, 'WWTR' continues the Sacred Steel tradition. Randolph and Burnett worked closely as archivists, discovering songs- decade by decade- from the 20th century American music canon. The songs they uncovered, ranging from blues & rock to field recordings & gospel, serve as the inspiration. The album includes Ben Harper, Leon Russell, and reinterpretations of Prince, Dylan and Lennon. The Roots - How I Got Over (Def Jam) .................................................. To call it "eagerly anticipated" would be the understatement of the year - as hip-hop's most daring pioneers the Roots release their 9th album, which takes its name from Clara Ward's gospel classic (made popular by Mahalia Jackson). The lead single is "Dear God 2.0." The track re-imagines the Monsters Of Folk song and features Yim Yames, Conor Oberst and M. Ward. Other guests include John Legend, Joanna Newsom (!) and Phonte Coleman. The Roots deliver, again! Bruce Springsteen - London Calling DVD (Columbia) .................................................. Captured in London in June 2009 in HD, the 163-minute film documents 26 tracks of live Springsteen that begin in daylight and progress through a gorgeous sunset into night. Viewers are able to see Bruce directing the E Street Band and shaping the show as it evolves. The set list spans from 'Born To Run' era to 'Working On a Dream' and includes rare covers such as The Clash's "London Calling," Jimmy Cliff's "Trapped," The Young Rascals' "Good Lovin'," and Eddie Floyd's "Raise Your Hand." Stars - The Five Ghosts (Vagrant) .................................................. Love and death have always been the twin engines of the popular song: the pursuit of love and the mourning of its passing; the havoc death wrecks upon love; love's survival in the aftermath of death; death as metaphor for the loss of one's identity to the consumptive power of love. Few bands of recent times have understood this as completely as Stars. Different from previous Stars albums - its simpler, sparer, and more confident, it also trades some of the band's previous dramatic flourish for the sort of direct, heart bearing communication that comes from hard-won experience. Windsor for the Derby - Against Love (Secretly Canadian) .................................................. In a world of "slow" movements that rail against mindless consumption, rock survivalists Windsor for the Derby represent "slow" music. For their latest outing, they began with a set of seemingly infinite drones and loops inspired by their early beginnings as a band. As those recordings were passed back and forth, the sounds were further sculpted by Dan Matz and Jason McNeely into their own leftfield brand of pop song. Wipers - Out Takes LP (Jackpot) .................................................. Featuring 13 rare and unreleased cuts handpicked by Greg Sage dating from 1979 to 1983, Out Takes collects unheard songs, demo recordings and alternate mixes. This album focuses on the era of their debut LP, Is This Real?, a desperate, energetic masterpiece, considered by Kurt Cobain as the blueprint for Grunge. Out Takes is an incredible new window into the career of one of the greatest American Punk bands. Wovenhand - The Threshingfloor (Sounds Familyre) .................................................. The Threshingfloor lies at the foot of a mountain in the American West. It's American Indian country: chiseled by canyons, where everything is magnificent and arresting and echoes with whispers of the supernatural. Wovenhand's 6th album is distinctively marked by the place where it was made- a mythical yet familiar place echoed the world over. Soundscape mimics landscape, towering and jagged like high peaks, enveloping like the star-studded dome of the sky. We are acutely aware of our own smallness, as our senses are accosted by something otherworldly. Pegi Young - Foul Deeds (Vapor) .................................................. More than just Neil Young's wife, singer/songwriter Pegi Young has recorded another stellar disc to follow up her critically acclaimed debut. Featuring original cuts penned by Pegi as well as tracks written by Lucinda Williams and Devandra Banhart among others. Musicians include Anthony Crawford on guitars, Ben Keith on pedal steel, dobro and Hammond B3, Rick Rosas on bass and Phil Jones on drums. Other notables joining them on select tracks include Spooner Oldham playing Wurlitzer, Karl Himmel on drums and Neil Young on guitars and harmonicas. Includes a concert DVD directed by Jonathan Demme. VA - Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine (Oh Boy) .................................................. Today's avant-roots renaissance owes a great debt to John Prine's laconic, ever-questioning poetic quality. Featuring 12 newly-recorded versions of classic Prine songs, Broken Hearts boasts an enviable roll call of inventive musicians, including My Morning Jacket, Avett Brothers, Conor Oberst, Old Crow Medicine Show, Bon Iver, Lambchop, Josh Ritter, Justin Townes Earle, Drive By Truckers Those Darlins, Deer Tick and Sara Watkins. VA - 180 South OST (Brushfire) .................................................. Original music composed by Ugly Casanova (Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse) and James Mercer (Shins, Broken Bells) and featuring songs from Mason Jennings, Jack Johnson and Love as Laughter.

Jackson Browne & David Lindley - Love Is Strange (Inside) .................................................. Jackson Browne & David Lindley's Love Is Strange is a chronicle of their 2006 Tour of Spain, performing in Madrid, Barcelona, Oveido and Sevilla. The experience is expressed by Jackson Browne as "a CD of some recorded moments, or perhaps a bridge, or a small door, between a life lived mostly in America and time spent with some really good friends in Spain." Deer Tick - The Black Dirt Sessions (Partisan) .................................................. Recorded late last year at Black Dirt Studios in upstate New York, The Black Dirt Sessions is a deeply personal record from Deer Tick and most especially from lead vocalist and songwriter John McCauley. It is the sound of a band coming into its own, finding its voice and pouring its collective heart out. "The Country-rock breakthrough of the year" - Rolling Stone Jamie Lidell - Compass (Warp) .................................................. Recorded in LA, NY and Canada, Compass is Jamie'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. The Jayhawks - The Bunkhouse Album (Lost Highway) .................................................. The Jayhawks' Bunkhouse Album is the 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". Tift Merritt - See You On the Moon (Fantasy) .................................................. See You On the Moon is Tift Merritt's most visceral work to date. ÊAt heart, the album is a profoundly focused Tift doing what she does best better than she ever has - poignant writing and performing welded to the steady pursuit of new places. ÊFor this project, Merritt recruited producer Tucker Martine, best known for his work with The Decemberists, Sufjan Stevens, Spoon, & others. ÊJoining the 'Moon' sessions were, among others, celebrated pedal steel guitarist Greg Leisz and My Morning Jacket's Jim James. -------------------------------------------------- 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!
