digital bathTix are on sale right now, and I would imagine that they will go fast. It's sold out. I wasn't big on their last album, but I still think White Pony is fabulous.
Drive-By Truckers hit the Commodore on May 10th. I keep hearing that they're stellar live, so it's probably about time I checked them out.
The Cons show on May 25th will be at Richard's. Chad VanGaalen and Blood Meridian take on opening duties.
From Blown Speakers favourites, Ladyhawk are featured in a Tiny Mix Tapes article, where TMT fills us in on some album details. Have I mentioned how psyched I am for this? Well, I'm doing it again. If anyone from Storyboard is reading this, please, please, please send me an advance, an mp3, anything!
When A Reminder and For the 'Records' both recommend a band, chances are it's a winner, so I was not surprised that my first taste of Guillemots was a pleasant one. Sean was even kind enough to link us to Good Weather For Airstrikes, who've kindly prepared about as comprehensive introduction as you're likely to see (complete with audio, of course). Michael notes that their debut EP, From The Cliffs, is out in Canada now. So, head over and download some .mp3s, and once you're convinced, run down to your favourite independent record outlet and pick that bad boy up.
While were on the topic of music that the internets introduced me to in the past couple of days, let's talk about the Pipettes. You may have already read the PFork's glowing review of "Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me." And, if you did, hopefully you watched the linked video. If you didn't, then you probably haven't already fallen in love with the UK trio's girl group ultra goodness, so here are some samples that will hopefully remedy that situation. Both of these tracks are culled from 7"s that are no longer available, but the "Dirty Mind" 7" is out now, and the "Your Kisses..." 7" is out on March 27th. If anyone knows where I can find any of said records in Vancouver, if you could let me know, I would be much obliged... if not, I'll suck it up and pay the exchange/shipping/etc and get'em via their webstore.

Finally, my picks are up at the Tyee this week. Two Gallants, Vetiver, the Hold Steady, the Affair, and Land of Talk, all for your free and legal listening pleasure.

I've fixed the Tyee graphic now- the one you sent first was exactly the right size, and then I resized it and it was all wonky. I should trust you gooder!
