Sunday, July 11th is BUDOS BAND at the Bluebird. 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. Get your sweaty dancefloor on and then lets all go swimming. 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 6/29/2010 .................................................. Peter Case - Wig! (Yep Roc) .................................................. In early 2009, like thousands of artists, 3-time Grammy nominee Peter Case found himself ill and without insurance. Following sudden open-heart surgery, Case walked out of the hospital with 2 things: a renewed vigor for life and music, and a 6-figure medical bill he couldn't pay. Case's fans and peers like T-Bone Burnett, Richard Thompson, Joe Henry and Loudon Wainwright immediately rallied to organize a benefit concert to help with his obligations. Recovered physically and emboldened by the generosity of his fans and friends, Peter recorded the raucous and dirty blues rock of Wig! in only 3 days. With heart pumping and blood flowing, Wig! sees Case reinvigorate the roots he laid down in his seminal bands The Nerves and The Plimsouls. Delphic - Acolyte (Dangerbird) .................................................. In a world of indie bands dipping a cautious toe into dance music's occasionally baffling computer world, Delphic are post-dance futurist nostalgics from Manchester who have managed to take repetitive beats and crisp electronics out of the underground to emerge as one of the UK's most exciting new bands. Alejandro Escovedo - Street Songs of Love (Fantasy) .................................................. From his days in the now legendary punk/alt-country outfits The Nuns, Rank and File and his own True Believers, to his glowingly received solo gems including 2008's Real Animal, Escovedo has built a rapturous underground following among fans, songwriting peers and critics alike. His highly anticipated Fantasy Records debut, Street Songs of Love, is a 13-track celebration of survival, liberation and ultimate salvation. Adam Franklin & Bolts Of Melody - I Could Sleep for a Thousand Years (Second Motion) .................................................. Although he'll be forever known as the leader of the legendary band Swervedriver, the 3rd LP by frontman Adam Franklin makes a convincing argument for the band's relevance on its' own accord. Nestled somewhere between the feel of Big Star and Sonic Youth "Sleep" is a perfect balance of sweet harmonies and breezy guitars. Maps & Atlases - Perch Patchwork (Barsuk) .................................................. The band's previous two EPs employed an arid, live sound, setting up Perch Patchwork to deliver a lush contrast of strings, horns, assorted percussion, and a variety of toy instruments, all placed just-so on some spot-on songwriting. In a world cluttered with digital ephemera, an album that flows from beginning to end with such deliberate grace is all the more special, not to mention a perfect soundtrack for the hissing of summer lawns. Rush - Beyond the Lighted Stage (Rounder) .................................................. Rush enjoys a devoted following by legions around the world and is revered by generations of musicians. Yet, their incredible success story has remained largely untold. Now comes a new documentary, the first comprehensive exploration of the extraordinary power trio. Featuring never-before-seen footage and interviews with notables such as Jack Black, Billy Corgan, Trent Reznor, Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), Kirk Hammett (Metallica) and Gene Simmons. This 2-disc DVD features over 3 hours of video, including a bonus disc of live performances, special features, and deleted scenes from the film. Scissor Sisters - Night Work (Downtown) .................................................. Scissor Sisters recorded Night Work in London, the Bahamas and their hometown of New York City, working for the first time with an outside producer, Stuart Price (The Killers, Madonna). Night Work is a dynamic album with a big heart and some killer dance moves - but it's not all electronic. You can still hear the sound of a band spinning out together in a rehearsal room. Steel Train - s/t (Terrible Thrills) .................................................. Steel Train, out on the band's recently created label Terrible Thrills and produced by Steven McDonald (Be Your Own Pet, Imperial Teen), is an infectious album - brilliantly showcasing a new level of songwriting and musicianship only hinted at in the band's earlier work. From the epic opening track "Bullet" to the edgy "Turnpike Ghost," and from the passionate album rock of "Behavior" to the rebellious "You Are Dangerous," this versatile new album shows the strength of a band with a mission. To Rococo Rot - Speculation (Domino) .................................................. "Speculation" is the new, perfectly titled, To Rococo Rot album, recorded in part at Faust's studio. To Rococo Rot, the trio of Stefan Schneider and brothers Robert and Ronald Lippok, debuted just over a decade ago at the point where digital precision and instrumental abstraction were harnessed into new directions. Their sound is seemingly contradictory: instruments and technology, analog and digital, contemporary and primitive, detached and accessible. Jimmy Webb - Just Across the River (E1) .................................................. Jimmy's new album features interpretations of the classic songs that made him a vital cultural icon including "By The Time I Get To Phoenix", "Wichita Lineman", "Galveston", "The Highwayman", "Oklahoma Nights" and more. The album features guest appearances from Webb's friends, fans and recording partners including Jackson Browne, Glen Campbell, Vince Gill, Billy Joel, Mark Knopfler, Michael McDonald, Willie Nelson, Linda Ronstadt, J.D. Souther and Lucinda Williams. Wolf Parade - Expo 86 (Sub Pop) .................................................. Recorded and mixed at Hotel2Tango. The Montreal band has proven to be more than a simple Isaac Brock find. Expo 86 is named after the world's fair in Vancouver, and the album was mostly recorded live in studio, and while it will maintain the band's self-described 'maximalist' sound, Dan Boeckner told Pitchfork the album will have more upbeat songs than Wolf Parade's earlier releases. The Vinyl Zone (get into the groove!) ..................................................

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. At 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. For 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!
