new radio

Bad news: It seemed to be coming for the past little while, but now it's official: the final nail is about to be hammered into the WOXY coffin. An unfortunate end for such a great thing. WOXY goes stops broadcasting for good on September 15th.

Good news: Sean at A Reminder has graciously put up some very nice live recordings of all the new Radiohead songs that they debuted on their recent world tour (that didn't include Vancouver or Seattle, jerks)

Funny news (also good): The new Joanna Newsom record, Ys (pronounced "ees") leaked, and it's fabulous (that's not the funny part). How did this musical gem escape almost three full months ahead of its release date? Pitchfork left their download server unsecured. I believe the term is "pwned." Normally, I would post up a sample .mp3, but seeing as there are only 5 tracks, that would be like 20% of the record, and that prospect makes me uncomfortable. If you look around you can find it, I'm sure.

now playing: My!Gay!Husband! - That B.I.G. August Mixtape

Some shows you missed as told to me by the Georgia Straight:
-3 Inches of Blood w/ Javelin Reign and Odessa @ the Media Club Sept 7
-James Lavelle w/ UNKLE and Wood @ Richards on the 21st (prety close to the Shadow show so it'll likely be both halves of UNKLE which would be awesome)
-Holy F*ck w/ Shout Out Out Out Out and Land of Talk at richards on the 28th (I'll be honest I only care about the fact that Shout Out Out Out Out is on this bill)

dude, Land of Talk is awesome.

I heard rumours about that one.

Yeah I just don't know them, but Shout Out Out Out Out is really good.

I could see them being awesome live, but I find the record a touch boring at times.

I'm psyched enough for Land of Talk to forgo Danny Michel though.

Yeah I think I'm going to bail on Asobi Seksu for this one as well. But back to SOOOO, try and download their EP if you can find it both tracks on it are stellar.

I have the EP if you want it....I think the two tracks on it are just the good better ones from the LP.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 3:28 p.m.  

Except that they're not on the LP...

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 11:49 p.m.
