Highwheel Records Drops A Place to Bury Strangers
Just three weeks ago, we reported that NYC noize dreamers A Place to Bury Strangers had signed a deal with Chicago label Highwheel Records. Congratulations all around. The band planned to record a follow-up to their new self-titled LP this December.But this weekend, Highwheel sent out a press release stating that they had dropped the band. "We wish them luck" was all they had to say.
What happened? According to APTBS manager Steven Matrick, it was a timing issue. Highwheel wanted the band to hit the studio in December and have a new album ready as quickly as possible. The band wanted to spend six to eight months touring and promoting A Place to Bury Strangers, and then begin recording a new record. "[Highwheel owner Julius Moriarty] wasn't willing to wait," Matrick said. "Then he sent out a press release saying he dropped us. So we didn't know that he dropped us; we found that out through the press release."
Moriarty said, "That's a very simplified version of everything. It was way more complicated than that. We don't mind bands promoting things that will make them successful; it wasn't an issue. I just don't think that the band and the label were quite seeing eye to eye on some things."
He confirmed that APTBS will be released from their contract with Highwheel. "They are free for the market," he said.
Moriarty added, "We all love each other, we're all still really good friends." [MORE...]
Photos: White Williams Tour Diary Part 2
Welcome to the second dispatch from the Girl Talk/Dan Deacon/White Williams tour photo diary extravaganza, covering days 6-8 and spanning Philadelphia, Baltimore, and D.C.As with the last one, these photos and captions come straight from the eye and pen of Williams. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this installment is brought to you by the word "colorful".
Still more pretty pictures to come, stay tuned!
Day 6: Philadelphia, September 17, 2007

Sex Tape "Definitely Not" Meg White
As you might have read on other websites, over the weekend, a video surfaced on the internet featuring a woman having sex. SHOCKA! This woman happened to have black hair and look a tad like White Stripes drummer Meg White. Lucky for her-- Meg is a very beautiful woman.However, the woman in the video is not Meg White.
Hear that? IT'S NOT MEG WHITE.
Here's a statement from the White Stripes' publicist: "Some people have a very twisted sense of humor and this prank is in particularly bad taste. The tape circulating on the internet as featuring Meg White is fake. It’s definitely not Meg."
Get on with your lives, people.

Rufus Wainwright wrapped up his Judy Garland tribute tour this weekend at Los Angeles' famed Hollywood Bowl, performing a whole set of the late diva's hits. Wainwright was joined for a number of songs by his sister Martha, their mother Kate McGarrigle, and Garland's daughter Lorna Luft (sadly, no Lizas to be found).
After breezing through a set of Broadway tunes and Wizard of Oz soundtrack selections, Rufus channeled Garland's spirit more directly, strolling out for the encore in stiletto heels, stockings, and lipstick. (Alas, photographers had been ushered out of the photo pit long before that.)
For the rest of the show, the campy crooner slipped into a tiger-stripe bathrobe and slippers, then popped a couple Benzedrine and passed out under the arches of the outdoor amphitheatre.
Okay, just kidding about the drugs, but he seriously did wear a bathrobe.
More photos and tour dates below.

Jesus & Mary Chain Record New Song, Add More Dates
Photo by Eirik LandeBaby steps, guys, baby steps. First, do a little side project quasi-reunion thing to generate some pre-reunion rumor buzz. Then make your big comeback at Coachella, toss in a little Scarlett Johansson, play "Letterman" and a few more scattered reunion gigs, tease us about a possible new album, confirm a studio rendezvous, and then, then, you guessed it, release a brand new song. On a soundtrack. For a TV show.
On their slow, steady path to becoming a bona fide active band again, the Jesus and Mary Chain have announced another stepping stone: the release of their first recording together in some 10 years. Titled (ironically?) "All Things Must Pass", this is the new JAMC jam they played on "Late Show With David Letterman" back in May. Now it's set to appear on the upcoming soundtrack to the NBC television program "Heroes", due in mid-January 2008 with, one hopes, a new JAMC album soon after.
The brothers Reid have added a couple dates to their all-too-brief fall itinerary. Soulsavers/Mark Lanegan fans should take note, however, as their beloved are no longer opening. Appropriately, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have stepped to the plate for one of the gigs, with more support acts to be announced soon. [MORE...]
Photos: The Mountain Goats / Bowerbirds [Baltimore, MD; 09/21/07]
Photos by Kyle GustafsonEver in need of greener musical pastures upon which to graze, the Mountain Goats began yet another migration across North America recently, one that brought them to Baltimore's Sonar this past Friday.
Another of Earth's gentle beasts, North Carolina's Bowerbirds, warmed the stage for a spirited John Darnielle and Peter Hughes with tunes off their debut, Hymns for a Dark Horse (out now on Pitchfork contributor Grayson Currin's Burly Time imprint). Perhaps they should have named this tour Creature Comforts 2007?
The pairing roams into Buffalo (ha!) tonight. Dates and more photos a mere scroll and click away.

Dr. Dre Speaks on Detox Delay
They tried to make him go to rehab / He said, OK, hold on, I'll get there eventually
Quite a few of us have learned to temper our expectations when it comes to the release dates of rap albums, so when Dr. Dre says his eight-years-in-coming Detox won't see release this year but that he's almost finished with it, a fair amount of skepticism feels in order. However, in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, the 42-year-old producer seems to earnestly believe just that.
"I was really hoping to have [Detox] out this year, but it's going to have to be pushed back a while because of some other things I've got to work on," Dre told the Times, saying the album is two or three tracks away from completion. But instead of forging ahead with work on it, he plans to spend the next two months working on a new Eminem album.
Dre also told the Times that Detox will be his final solo album, appropriate considering how long it has taken him to see the light at the end of the recording tunnel. He said, "I think it's time to move on." Nonetheless, he sees plenty of recording in his future-- just not as a solo artist. "I think a lot of Quincy Jones and how he is an inspiration. Look at the quality of his work over so many years. He didn't even make his best record, Thriller, until he was 50."
So, other than the Eminem record, what are some of the "other things" Dre has on his plate? For starters, there's his previously reported film production deal with New Line Cinema and his copyright lawsuit against Death Row Records. Then, of course, there is his family (he's been married to his wife Nicole for 11 years!), and, as VMA viewers may have inferred from his Barry Bonds-like physique, his other obsession: weightlifting. "I go in the gym two to two-and-a-half hours Monday through Friday. It makes me feel better and look better." Now if only it could make him record faster.

Les Savy Fav embark on a tour campaign to reaffirm their Friendship late next month, but not before treating their NYC home turf to a trio of live spectacles. Saturday night's gig at Bowery Ballroom, the second of these three shows, featured all the drunken hysterics, wacky costume changes (Sherlock Holmes, wtf?), fourth wall obliteration, and borderline indecent exposure you've come to love from these guys.
After one more home game-- opening for Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem, no less-- Tim Harrington and co. head to Europe. Let's Stay Friends is out now on French Kiss Records.

Radiohead Post Encrypted Messages on Website
Gosh, those Radiohead fellas don't make it easy, huh? Following that very brief, since-deleted clip of a tune from their recently wrapped LP7 and photos of Colin and Nigel drumming up support among the youth, they've thrown another wrench in the fire with a mysterious-- but oh so darling-- series of codes on their website.
Though Pitchfork's crack cryptographic team is still too busy deciphering the menu at the local coffee shop at this early hour, the gumshoes at ateaseweb.com's message board-- who are always good for this sort of thing-- have knocked out the code already. An early post reportedly translates to "YES WE ARE STILL ALIVE," while at least one subsequent post seems to have something to do with the lyrics to "Bodysnatchers", a new song.
The most recent, posted today, seems to employ a slightly different code, but thanks to the atease crew, it has been translated as "A FLATLINE WE ARE IN A MEETING." Sounds like some experimental prog-rock band's got a case of the Mondays! Or maybe the free agents are in a meeting with Flatline Records?
That's about it, really. No release date, no tour, no MP3. But, hey, it's Radiohead. This mass confusion stuff is what they do best. Oh yeah, and make records. At least, that's my recollection.
In other Radiohead news, Jonny Greenwood's done his thing to the upcoming Paul Thomas Anderson flick. Score!
Starting tonight, September 24, Sonic Young'n Thurston Moore supports Trees Outside the Academy, his first proper solo album in over a decade, with a Johnny Appleseed-like tour where he will plant Trees in the hearts, minds, and ears of audiences across the U.S.
Moore's tour has a three-week gap in October which is very partially filled by three Sonic Youth shows, all in Texas. Then, in early December, he will head to England to take part in the previously reported, Portishead-curated Nightmare Before Christmas ATP. [MORE...]

Well, Morrissey is all rested up and feeling better after a sick leave, and he's ready to rock your tears away. Moz has just begun the first leg of his rescheduled American tour, which includes multiple-night stands in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. This weekend, we caught up with him at San Fran's Fillmore, where the icon was prancing around on stage like a man half his age.
More photos and the rest of Morrissey's U.S. itinerary below.
