Interpol and Liars Kick Off Joint Tour
Interpol's sleek shade of post-punk will meet Liars' more unhinged variety tonight, September 10, as the two kick off their previously reported tour together in Albany, New York.
Both bands will hock their new albums on the tour, which accounts for all of Liars' currently scheduled dates, except for a set at ATP's Release the Bats show on November 2 in London.
Interpol, however, have a quite a few more dates this fall, including a run of European shows with Blonde Redhead.
As previously reported, Cat Power will open the Madison Square Garden date of the Interpol/Liars tour on September 14. [MORE...]
New Iron and Wine LP Gets Bonus Disc
Good boy! Like a faithful companion to the dipping temperatures of the early fall, Iron and Wine's The Shepherd's Dog fetches you the auditory equivalent of cozy slippers and an oaky pipe. But, should you choose to beckon the Dog to your side, you may be greeted with a genial slobber-- and a bonus disc besides!Indeed, while supplies last at Sub Pop's online shop and select independent stores, The Shepherd's Dog-- out September 25 in the States and the day before in the U.K. from Transgressive-- will come waggin' with a two-track bonus CD. Those tracks? The previously unreleased "Serpent Charmer" and "Arms of a Thief". Orders through the Sub Pop store also come with a sticker and pin buried in the Dog's fur.
Those looking to track down a handsome, shaggy stray can do so on Sam's forthcoming world tour, kicking off September 23 in Chicago. [MORE...]
Photos: Hideout Block Party [Chicago, IL; 09/07/07-09/08/07]
Photos by Joseph MohanIt was a beautiful weekend in Chicago, and to celebrate the autumny weather, a whole bunch of folks turned out for the Hideout's annual Block Party. No Albini-on-Albini headliners this year, but it was still quite a romper, featuring British popsters Art Brut, the ever-so-fitting Bloc Party (who joked that they'd named themselves after the event), dance master Dan Deacon (just a few hours before his green skull went missing) and the Windy City's favorite son, Andrew Bird. The Frames, O'Death, the 1900s, Cass McCombs, Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, and the Changes all also got their party on.
There was also a glee club (Blue Ribbon Glee Club), a marching band (Mucca Pazza), square dancers (Golden Horse Ranch Square Dance Band), and something called a Guitarkestra (helmed by Steven Krakow, aka Plastic Crimewave). Photos of all that weird shit, and even more, below.

Photos by Kirstie Shanley
The newest psych-rockers on the block, Black Moth Super Rainbow, this weekend joined some of the older psych-rockers on the block, The Flaming Lips, to give Chicago's Aragon Ballroom a double dose of their sonic euphoria. As usual, some singing Santas spiced up the Lips' set before frontman Wayne Coyne donned his cosmic hamster ball. And yes, the UFO was there.
BMSR, meanwhile, augmented their performance with some flashy videos and light tricks-- not exactly a giant UFO descending on stage, but hey, they've got another decade or two to work on that.
More photos and both bands' fall itineraries below.

The Stills Sign to Arts & Crafts
Montreal quintet the Stills have made the switch from Vice to Arts & Crafts for the worldwide release of their currently untitled third album. The follow-up to 2006's Without Feathers is due in the spring of next year.
Arts & Crafts is on a roll right now, enjoying success with the likes of Broken Social Scene, Feist, Stars, and Los Campesinos!, to name just a few.
The Stills have a scattering of North American dates this fall in celebration of the signing. [MORE...]

Dan Deacon's Green Skull Stolen!
By the power of Green Skull, he is pissed
If you've gone to a Dan Deacon show-- and were able to push your way close enough to actually see Dan Deacon-- you've probably noticed the green light-up skull that towers over his table of electronics. It's just one of the little touches that makes a Deacon performance so much fun.
But on Saturday in Chicago, that skull went missing. Deacon had a busy day; he played at the Hideout Block Party in the afternoon, and then at the downtown loft known as Av-aerie that night. The skull worked hard at Av-aerie, casting its neon glow over a crowd so amped up, they caused the power to go out a minute into the first song.
On Sunday afternoon, Deacon posted a bulletin on Myspace titled "MY GREEN SKULL WAS STOLEN LAST NIGHT IN CHICAGO". It read:
"sadly last night the trippy green skully, my old friend and touring partner for over two years, was stolen last night after my set at the av-erie gallery in chicago.
this skull is a major part of my set, a vital instrument in my performance. i leave for a month long tour of sold out shows on wednesday and i dont know what i will do without it.
this is the skull:
http://flickr.com/photos/somethingsara/1308823081/
it was taken off of the strobe light, so its a hollow plastic skull made up of tiny little green beads melted into the shape of a trippy green skull.
if anyone has any information about this that leads to the skulls safe return i will send you a package of wondrous treats and guest list you for a year to all shows i play in whatever city you want.
if you stole the skull or know who stole the skull and are afraid to contact me because you/they are a thief coward you can contact sam hunt at sam@windishagency.com and he will facilitate its safe return. again, my next tour begins in 3 days.
love dan"
If you have the skull and would like to mail it in or drop it off anonymously, no questions asked, please do so at:
The UPS Store
1658 N. Milwaukee #211
Chicago, IL 60647
Why the hell would someone steal this thing? Were they on a bad acid trip and thought it was trying to kill them? Was it part of some sort of Hipster Olympics scavenger hunt?
As Dan mentioned, his tour with Girl Talk and White Williams starts on Wednesday. All upcoming Dan Deacon shows are listed below. [MORE...]
The Gossip/Long Blondes U.S. Tour Canceled
Remember those tour dates we told you about a little while ago? You know, the ones with the Long Blondes, the Gossip, and Panther? Word on the street is they're off like a High School Musical starlet's prom dress.
Why? Well, did you read that Rick Rubin story in the New York Times Sunday Magazine last week? (If not, we recommend doing so.) Near the end, Rubin, the president of the Gossip's current label, Columbia, drops this interesting tidbit of information:
"'I saw [the Gossip] at the Troubadour, and they blew my mind'," [Rick Rubin] said. 'It was the best show I've seen in five years. Afterward, I met with the band. They felt stressed, and they were having trouble writing songs. The energy in the room when they were performing was so intense, and I'm not even sure how we'd get it to feel like that in the studio. So we decided to record a live show during their European tour, and we're going to release a DVD of the live album as their first release.'"
That live album and DVD, originally scheduled to be released on November 16, has been pushed back. So apparently, they pushed back the tour in support of it too.
Hmm. One would think that touring is a good way of drumming up excitement for a live album, no matter when the shows take place, but hey, we ain't gonna argue with Rick Rubin.
No word yet on whether the tour will be rescheduled, but all dates-- canceled and otherwise-- are available after the jump.
One piece of good news here is that the Long Blondes posted on their Myspace page that instead of touring, "We will in fact be spending October and November recording our second album." [MORE...]
Jonny Greenwood Scores Paul Thomas Anderson Film
Say it with me now in a scary voice: There Will Be Blood. And, as the trailer to this forthcoming film by Paul Thomas Anderson (Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love) indicates, there will also be original music...by Jonny Greenwood!
The Radiohead guitarist, already burning up the Pitchfork newsroom today, has taken his orchestral muse and applied it to Mr. Anderson's latest film, PT's first feature since 2002's Punch-Drunk (which, along with 1999's Magnolia, had a score by Jon Brion). This one stars Daniel Day-Lewis and looks to be an oil baron thriller inspired by Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel Oil!. No word on a theatrical release yet.
Big thanks to reader M.S. Markham for the tip!
And just in case you didn't take Greenwood's word for it, Radiohead's publicist has confirmed that the band has definitely finished its latest album. Hooray!
Huge Metal Box Sets Due Soon on Rhino, Earache
This is not a Public Image, LTD. news item, sorry
Without it, there'd be no VH1 reality programming: The split between the glossy L.A. pop metal what birthed a thousand "Behind the Music"s and at least one "Rock of Love", and tr00 fookin' METULLL that spawned a thousand cases of whiplash, and Decibel magazine. (The greatest music magazine in the world-- Ed.)
On two forthcoming metal box sets, that dichotomy is in full force. One, Rhino's Heavy Metal Box (due October 2) features Ratt's "Round and Round" and Poison's "Talk Dirty to Me". The other, Earache's Metal: A Headbanger's Companion II (out September 10 in the UK/Europe), sports Circle of Dead Children's "Strip Naked for the Killer" and Deathwitch's "Coffin Fornicator". You see the difference.
Really, it's a question of intent. The Rhino set seeks to compile tracks from "the genre's first golden age, between 1968 and 1991." Well, that's narrowing it down. Thus, their focus on the (comparatively) tame suits such a brief encapsulation. Besides, can the company responsible for the recent Traveling Wilburys anthology really be blamed for excluding Anal Cunt from their archives? The Earache box is all about the extreme, and the tracklist (and resulting hearing loss) are testament to that.
Rhino's tradition of sweet-ass packaging continues with Heavy Metal Box, as it's contained in a fake amplifier box...THAT GOES TO 11. Seriously!
Check it out:
Whether you fancy Cadaver Inc. or Cinderella-- and an argument can be made for both-- there's a box out there for you. Happy early birthday, ma! [MORE...]
Aesop Rock, Cage, PGMG's Zollo Grace Grayskul's Latest
By the power of, uh, themselves, Grayskul have the power. The power to what, you ask? Well, beyond the power to make allusions to self-reflexive bygone classics, they've the power to cold rock a party at the drop of a hat, and issue a sophomore set sure to master your tiny universe.Bloody Radio-- out September 11 on Rhymesayers-- is the second disc from the Seattle-based rhyming superheroes, and splayed over its fifteen installments are fellow ultramen Aesop Rock, Cage, Pigeon John, and Atmosphere's Slug, along with a cameo from former Pretty Girls Make Graves heroine Andrea Zollo.
The mild-mannered-by-day, fierce-rhymespitters-by-night Grayskul will travel with the young avengers of Atmosphere, along with Mac Lethal and Lucky I Am, rescuing the purses of old ladies from the hands of thieves. Oh, and playing hip-hop shows, too. [MORE...]
June Panic Rescues Songs From Purgatory
Panic! at the banks of the mighty creek. Songs From Purgatory is a triple disc set of material originally released as cassette-only albums and nearly lost in the 1997 Red River Flood that swamped the area around hyper-prolific underground songwriter June Panic's North Dakota home.Panic's master tapes were rescued from a watery grave by Panic himself (to think, the world almost lost "Jesus-Christ-Fucka-Sucka-Mobile"!), and have been brought to light, remastered, and reissued by Secretly Canadian. Pick up yours beginning September 11. [MORE...]
