Thursday, April 29th, 2010
Nashville’s two-man stoner pop crew JEFF The Brotherhood are making their way back up to Canada. The duo will play a number of shows with Quinton & Miss Pussycat, including Montreal on June 18th and Toronto the following night. They’ll then head to Vancouver in September for a solo show on the 9th. Check out their latest album Heavy Days - it rules.
Interpol have revealed they have a new logo! It’s not really exciting, but they’re also giving away a brand new track called “Lights,” which may or may not be on their forthcoming album. Grab it here. The band also wrote a quick note, saying: “”We will be posting important information and dates in the coming weeks.”
Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke has revealed the first single from his forthcoming solo album. The track is called “Tenderoni” (like the Chromeo track) and it’s definitely a big change in direction. Check it out here.
The beach pop Spaniards in Delorean are selling their new album as a T-shirt. Well, for the price of $20 you get the shirt and an MP3 version of their album Subiza. Visit the Matador Records store to get your copy. The band will be hitting up Canada in June and July: Vancouver on June 7th, Montreal on July 13th and Toronto on the 14th.
Love Woodhands? Sure you do. Well, Paper Bag Records is giving away a free remix EP. Titled Remixcapade (get it?), the six-track EP features Mathemagic, Diamond Rings and Woodhands’ own Dan Werb, among others remixing tracks from the band’s recent album, Remorsecapade. Download it here.

12/9/09 News briefs: Neko Case, Delorean, Jason Lytle, Massive Attack and the Gummy Awards
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009
In case you missed it (like I did), Neko Case took over as programmer for the Turner Classic Movies network last night. The alt-country crooner sat and chatted with Robert Osborne and then presented four films: Woody Allen’s Radio Days, Orson Welles’ The Third Man, Albert Lewin’s The Picture of Dorian Gray and Elia Kazan’s A Face in the Crowd. Apparently, this was an idea Neko had to promote her recent album, Middle Cyclone. I wonder what else she could get away with…
Spanish blog darlings Delorean will take their Balearic pop on the road this spring opening up for Miike Snow on a North American tour, which stops in Montreal on April 2, Toronto on April 3 and Vancouver on April 12. They’re also said to be working on their debut full-length.
Grandaddy were great, so we can only assume the new Xmas album by former frontman Jason Lytle is worth downloading. I mean, it’s free, but remember how rad Sophtware Slump was? You can grab it over at his official website.
15 years is a pretty long time to hold a grudge, so Massive Attack and Tricky have finally buried the hatchet. In an interview with BBC 6 Music, Daddy G said that it’s all water under the bridge and he and 3D are working on a collaboration with Tricky. Let’s hope they can recreate the magic of “Karmacoma.”
Finally, Stereogum has announced the winners of The 2009 Gummy Awards. Animal Collective (album), Grizzly Bear (video) and The xx (new act) were all victorious. Best of all though, the site asked tasteful celebs and musicians like Aziz Ansari (Parks and Recreation, Human Giant), Andy Samberg (SNL, Lonely Island), Gregg Gillis (Girl Talk), Patton Oswalt (Big Fan, Ratatouille) and Andrew W.K. for their picks.
