The remixes comprise the first disc of the compilation, while the exclusives fill out the second disc.

Coachella Valley Festival Kicks Off Tomorrow
Perhaps you've heard of it?
Tomorrow, for instance, there'll be Björk, Sonic Youth, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Interpol, Of Montreal, Arctic Monkeys, DJ Shadow, El-P, Busdriver, Flosstradamus, Brother Ali, Peeping Tom, Gogol Bordello, Silversun Pickups, Tilly and the Wall, Felix da Housecat, plus at least 20 others. Not bad, huh?
Saturday's no slouch neither, what with the Arcade Fire, the Decemberists, the Rapture, LCD Soundsystem, Ghostface Killah, Hot Chip, the New Pornographers, !!!, Pharoahe Monch, Girl Talk, Sparklehorse, Peter Bjorn and John, Roky Erickson & the Explosives, Pop Levi, Andrew Bird, Blonde Redhead, MSTRKRFT, Cornelius, and more.
Sunday, of course, there's the Zach-packing Rage Against the Machine, Happy Mondays (sans resident dancer Mark "Bez" Berry, who was unable to secure a visa in time), Air, the Roots, Klaxons, Lily Allen, Lupe Fiasco, Spank Rock, CSS, Junior Boys, Grizzly Bear, Explosions in the Sky, Tapes 'n Tapes, Konono N°1, for starters.
Heck, there's so many bands, they've even set fest-goers up with a nifty little web-feature called the Coachooser, which all but plots out your route for you. They've also made decision matters slightly easier by diluting the talent pool a bit, with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Peaches, Fountains of Wayne, and Kings of Leon. Burn! We kid, because we love.
Those of us not fortunate enough to cast off the shackles of the workaday world and flee to Southern California can live like desert trash in the comfort of our own climate-controlled domiciles, as seven hours a day of Coachella will be webcast live via AT&T's Blue Room. Check the schedule here.
I'm being told by my editors I've got enough space for another Kings of Leon joke, so here goes: more like... Kings of Peon!
Walkmen, Wrens, Furnaces, Girl Talk Head Idea! Fest
Plus: Destroyer, Sunset Rubdown, Xiu Xiu, Frog Eyes, Damo Suzuki, Rock Plaza Central
Nah, nobody spiked your poutine luncheon: that there feller immediately to the left of these here words is none other than Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper hanging-ten in a crowd surf. Nutty revelry of this sort should abound at Ottawa's Capital Idea! Festival, wrangled together by Canadian music promotion company/blog Mocking Music.
From June 21-30, Some of indie rock's finest will converge on the city to take in a Lynx game or two, bask in the humid continental climate, or maybe check out a show or two from their fellow festees at Ottawa venues like Barrymore's Music Hall, Babylon Nightclub, Zaphod Beeblebrox, and the Bronson Centre Theatre.
Capital Idea! is only half-formed at this point. Fest organizers promise over thirty acts in total, and the current lineup's a doozy: the Walkmen, Destroyer, the Wrens, the Fiery Furnaces, Damo Suzuki, Girl Talk, Sunset Rubdown, Xiu Xiu, Frog Eyes, Rock Plaza Central, Crystal Castles, Montag, the Russian Futurists, and Born Ruffians. O, Canada!
Arcade Fire Cast Off on Tour Tonight
After a #2 debut, an abortive effort at a proper European tour, an emergency surgery, a thousand Pitchfork news posts, and a million blog entries, the curtains will finally be drawn on the Arcade Fire's fiercely-anticipated North American tour tonight in San Diego.By now, you've heard that they're keeping some impressive company on tour; that their "Keep the Car Running" single can be yours May 8 from Merge; that Win's feeling a whole lot better since they sliced his throat open; that they're doing virtually every European festival once this thing wraps. You've pored over lyric sheets and Wikipedia'd every instrument they use. But until you've heard "Antichrist Television Blues" live, or bathed in Regine's sweat, or gently taunted that dude who looks like Jon Heder, can you really call yourself a scholar of the Neon Bible? Dunno, dude. But here's your chance. [MORE...]
Rhino Compiling Jesus and Mary Chain Rarities Box
Not much info yet to report, but according to a representative at the label, Rhino Records is in the process of mining the hallowed Jesus and Mary Chain archives and compiling an extensive rarities box set.Jim Reid is aiding in the selection process and will approve the final tracklist for the set, which should include about 80 JAMC jams spread over four CDs when it's done. About "a half dozen" of those jams have never graced the ears of humanity before; even more will appear on compact disc for the very first time. Look for the as-yet-untitled collection this fall, and keep your browser situated at Pitchfork for more details as they emerge.
Rarities box set, reunion tour mania, random sibling sideproject...can a full-blown JAMC comeback record be far behind?
In related news, rumors abound that one Scarlett Johansson (the link: Lost in Translation) will join the Reid brothers, singing backup at tonight's gig in Pomona. The official word, direct from the band's publicist: "Anything can happen!!!!" So there you have it. [MORE...]
White Stripes Tour Far Reaches of North America
Introduce this new rock'n'roll fad to citizens of Iqaluit, Nunavut
As promised previously, this gargantuan jaunt-- in support of Icky Thump, out June 19 here via Warner Bros. and June 18 there via XL-- will whisk the Stripes away to the only 16 States in the Union they've yet to rock during the course of their 10 year career-- and all the blooming Canadian provinces and territories too!
No joke: Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut-- all covered. Nevermind that Nunavut, according to Wikipedia, has less than 30,000 inhabitants spread out over nearly two million square kilometers of land! Might just be the most intimate Stripes show to date.
So does this mean Alaska and Hawaii too? Not yet, but hang tight: Jack and Meg aim to reveal more dates soon.
For now, they'll teach a lesson in Canadian geography beginning June 24 in Burnaby, British Columbia. After nearly a month up north, the Stripes, pending border control approval, finally re-enter the U.S. July 22 for some merry-making out East.
In related news, according to Billboard.com, Jack White's Raconteurs have been recording the follow-up to last year's Broken Boy Soldiers in Nashville, with eyes on a 2008 release. [MORE...]
Banhart, Oldham, Superchunk Cover Guilty Pleasures
Plus: Luna, Mike Watt, Concretes, Petra Haden, Jim O'Rourke, Geoff Farina, Mooney Suzuki
But that's not all bad. There can be a lot of catharsis in screaming from the rooftops about your love for, say, the Deftones (so good!) after so much repression. And when you're a musician yourself, sometimes screaming from the rooftops about your guilty pleasures turns into covering them.
It's under this premise that Engine Room Recordings rounded up some of the biggest names in independent music to have them record versions of their favorite guilty pleasures for a compilation it will release August 7 called Guilt by Association.
Will Oldham, Devendra Banhart, Superchunk, Minutemen/Stooges bassist Mike Watt, Jim O'Rourke, Luna, Petra Haden, Geoff Farina, and the Concretes all contributed to the compilation, which includes covers of songs by Journey, Oasis, the Spice Girls, Destiny's Child, Paula Abdul, Fall Out Boy, Cher, Shania Twain, System of a Down, Blue Oyster Cult, Eddie Money, and the cast of High School Musical. Seriously, this tracklist is amazing.
The folks at Engine Room are also holding a video contest in conjunction with the compilation. The label is currently accepting video proposals for one of three tracks from Guilt by Association: Will Oldham's cover of Mariah Carey's "Can't Take That Away", Devendra Banhart's cover of Oasis' "Don't Look Back in Anger", or Petra Haden's cover of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing".
To enter the contest, budding directors should submit a brief email to videocontest@engineroomrecordings.com that contains a video concept for one of the songs as well as a link to their previous work. The first round deadline is May 15, at which time the label and a few of the contributing artists will pick five proposals to make. The winning video will be chosen from the resulting five videos (all completed by July 1) and will become the compilation's official music video, with all of the press and prestige that includes. For more information about the compilation and video contest, visit the Guilt by Association MySpace page.
As for how all this mutual, guilty love came about, Engine Room General Manager Wes Verhoeve told Pitchfork that "the concept originated about five years ago, and we resurrected it in early 2006. Together with Randall Poster and Jim Dunbar, who have served as music supervisors for Zodiac, The Aviator, [forthcoming Dylan biopic] I'm Not There, and several Wes Anderson movies, we pulled together this exciting cast of musicians. Sometimes we'd suggest the songs, but sometimes the artists were already enthusiastically armed with their pop song of choice." Associate producer Morgan Lebus was also instrumental in getting in touch with several artists, including Banhart, Oldham, and the Concretes.
As for these artists' pop songs of choice, Mike Watt has never had any problems showing love for the Blue Oyster Cult, but who could have guessed Jim O'Rourke felt so strongly about the Spice Girls? [MORE...]
Johnny Marr on Crowded House Reunion Album
According to Billboard.com, Time on Earth-- the first album in nearly a decade-and-a-half from Kiwi jingle-janglers Crowded House-- will feature Johnny Marr on a pair of tracks, one of which he helped pen. You know, Johnny Marr from the Smiths, and now, Modest Mouse? Yeah, that Johnny Marr.The album also features a track House-master Neil Finn wrote alongside the Grammy-grubbing Dixie Chicks, and it's produced in part by Dave Matthews' BFF Steve Lillywhite. Time on Earth arrives July 10 in North America via Matthews' own ATO Records, and July 2 in the UK via Parlophone.
In other Marr news, he'll be on the road imparting his worldly wisdom on Modest Mouse for the next several months. [MORE...]
Interpol Reveal Third Album Details
This is the only version of their assertion that you should ever subscribe to
Interpol's third album-- about which we knew virtually nothing, like, two days ago-- will arrive July 10 via Capitol. As announced on the Interpol message board today, it's called Our Love to Admire, and it has a tracklist (which you may view after the red clicky thing). You heard it here first: it will probably also be kinda droney, coke-y, maybe with a pants-kicker or two, interspersed with some pretty bits.
In other Interpol news, Interpol cooks, and cleans up live. Catch them around the world in the coming months.
You may now proceed to get all fired up about "All Fired Up", and screen print t-shirts that read, "There's No I in Threesome". [MORE...]
