Feist plays the Commodore on October 5th (that's going to be a busy week) with new Arts and Crafts signing New Buffalo. I opted for Ash when the Exclaim tour came through, and only managed to listen to her at FolkFest (as I was too cheap to pay)... but I will be at this show with proverbial bells on. Speaking of New Buffalo and Feist, they are clearly seperated at birth. Ok... so I (poorly) photoshopped Sally Seltmann's blonde locks darker, but still.
Product Shop NYC has links to the new Franz Ferdinand single up (and the new Bloc Party tune, to boot).
Speaking of FF, tickets for their October 4th show (with TV on the Radio) at the Orpheum go on sale this Friday. $39.50 for uppers, $49.50 (plus charges) if you want to be close enough to see just how many belts Alex Kapranos has on.
"The Grey Album" was awesome. But like "the Bends," there's the tragic downside of a host of subpar followers. Thus, we have Kanye West Sounds, a mashing up of "the College Dropout" with "Pet Sounds." This actually isn't that bad in and of itself, but considering the best part about Kanye's record is the production, it sure ain't an improvement.
Let's continue with the hip hop shall we?
Word is that Lady Sovereign has signed to Def Jam, which means her album might actually get a timely release here. Now if somebody will wake up and sign Kano, we're talking.
You know what would be awesome? If some fine people got together and ripped and uploaded every single Wu Tang related video to the internet. Look! Someone did!
Finally, this is why Chicago is way cooler than wherever you live. If people are into starting this up in Vancouver, please do. I'll help!

New Buffalo! I like what I've heard, that being "Recovery" and the song of contentment.

in regards to lady sovereign signing with def jam, holy crap, this is obviously the work of Young Guru (new def jam A&R, Jay-Z's engineer, a producer in his own right). If YG hooks her up with Just Blaze, then I'd plotz. Just put her with the usual crew of producers (Blaze, Kanye, Bink, hell 9th Wonder) and we'd have something. Hell, they should sign Kano. Make it happen, Jigga!!!!!!
Oh, about your last post, Ant doesn't tour with Slug ... so it'd either be Slug with Mr. Dibbs or Slug with a live band. Still: go.

Speaking of the S-O-V, they played Random last night at Celebs, which was great, but no one else seemed to know it, so I had nobody with whom to mouth along the words, taking away from my enjoyment slightly.
In other words, you were missed.

if Feist opens the Bellingham show, ill head down for sure...
graham: apparently it was already a done deal with Universal, they just had yet to place her with an imprint, so Jay and his associates probably had less to do with it.
ill be there next tuesday, aleks.
