10/9/09 News briefs: No Age, Animal Collective, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck, Uncut and Sonic Youth on Gossip Girl
October 9th, 2009
Following in the footsteps of their label Sub Pop’s new Nike kicks, no-fi princes No Age have been given their own pair of Emerica skate shoes. Seeing as the band are vegan, they’re also made entirely of organic and synthetic materials.
Animal Collective actually do have a brand spankin’ new EP coming out in December called Fall Be Kind. Speaking with Pitchfork, Avey Tare says it’s “autumn themed” and the “vibe is a little bit darker.”
Serge’s daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg has finished recording her new album with Beck. Titled IRM, the album will be released on January 26th and will feature Charlotte backed by Beck and his band.
First it was Pitchfork and now Uncut has released its very, very different list of the best albums from the 2000s. Speaking of which, check back here next week for a lengthy list of my favourite albums from the last decade… When in Rome!
And don’t miss Sonic Youth perform an acoustic version of EVOL’s “Star Power” this coming Monday (October 12) on… yes, Gossip Girl! Or wait until next Friday (October 16) to see it on MuchMusic at 7:30 pm ET.
