the mariner's revenge
The first acts for this year's Bumbershoot Festival are slowly trickling in. Not much of note yet, but if you're willing to make a trip to the Emerald City you can look forward to seeing Devo. Seriously.
Listen to a brand spankin' new New Pornographers track, "Twin Cinema," courtesy the fine people at Matador. The album of the same name drops August 23rd. While this song features the familiar voices of Neko Case and Carl Newman, Dan Bejar and Nora O'Connor reportedly contribute even more than they did on 2003's superb "Electic Version."
download: New Pornographers - Twin Cinema
Finally, in anticipation of Saturday's Decemberists show, here's Colin's old band's take on "My Mother Was a Chinese Trapeze Artist." Tarkio's version is a little less sparse than the one you're probably used to, and will no doubt feature on the upcoming Kill Rock Stars release of some of their back catalogue.

As Shea has kindly pointed out, Doves have rescheduled for June 9th at the Commodore, unfortunately Mercury Rev are no longer opening. Ticket holders will receive a $2 refund at the door... supposedly because of the change in support acts. Yes, you read that correctly. Two bucks. Wtf?
