Junior Boys' Goodbye Goes Deluxe
Includes bonus disc packed with remixes, iTunes session
Special Edition arrives June 5 in the U.S. and June 11 overseas via Domino. It features, on disc one, the unadulterated whole of Pitchfork's 11th favorite album of last year. On disc two: a hearty sampling of Goodbye remixes from the likes of Hot Chip, Morgan Geist, Kode 9, and Carl Craig (several of which crop up on the recent Dead Horse EP), as well as Junior Boys' fabled January iTunes live session.
For your complete Junior Boys fix today, do check out the new video for "In the Morning", burning up pixels right now over in Forkcast.
The duo's massive spring trek wraps up this week, with a couple scattered North American dates and an EU jaunt thereafter. [MORE...]
Lupe Fiasco Spills Sophomore Album Details
Photo by Anoulay TsaiGood luck keeping a mouth as prolific as Lupe Fiasco's down. Backstage at this weekend's Coachella, the West Side Chicago wordsmith blabbed to Billboard.com a few early details of The Cool, his follow-up to last year's boom-bap buffet Food & Liquor. If the title sounds familiar, that could be because it's shared by a track on Food & Liquor. Eh, cool with us.
Lupe's looking at a Halloween release for the record, and is nothing if not modest in his ambitions: he's still looking to pull Pink Floyd to back his shrewd syntax on a track. And, hey, if that doesn't work, he could use Super Furry Animals and no one'd know.
Lupe also told Billboard.com of a 'top secret' collaboration with "another superstar rapper and someone who is a rapper/producer." Gee, think he means K. West and Jigga? Whatever; I'm riding for Jazze Pha and Reh Dogg.
Young Fiasco's got a couple tour dates planned for the summer, and here they are. [MORE...]
Big Boi to Perform With Atlanta Ballet
Big Boi becomes ballerino?
The Atlanta Ballet's website describes the event as "an adventuresome, exhilarating evening featuring the world-renowned musical artistry of Big Boi of Outkast as well as artists of Purple Ribbon Entertainment. Daring, progressive, and soulful, these very talented artists perform a stunning collaborative piece, LIVE on stage with Atlanta Ballet's exquisite dancers."
Beyond that, few details have emerged on the performance, but the MC is meeting today (May 1) with members of his Purple Ribbon Entertainment collective and choreographer Lauri Stallings to discuss it. We can only hope the result is something like a reversal of the costumes in this picture.
Zombies to Reunite for Odessey Anniversary Shows
Odessey and Oracle, the blood-coursing, stake-pierced heart of the Zombies' undead catalog, shall walk the earth when four of the original five Zombies-- Colin Blunstone, Rod Argent, Chris White, and Hugh Grundy-- reform to play the entire album through, twice.Fifth original Zombie and guitarist Paul Atkinson, barring any actual undead activity, will not be present; he passed away in 2004. Keith Airey will round out the fivesome for these special shows, which celebrate Odessey's 40th anniversary.
But that's fuzzy math, you say. Odessey came out in 1968. And indeed, according to Blunstone's website, you'll have the time of the season March 7 and 8 of next year (2008-1968 = 40) at London's Shepherds Bush Empire. Tickets for the bonanza went on sale today.
The concert will be split into two parts; the second, of course, being a run through the gem-packed dynamo, and the first being a cavalcade of classics from other Zombies records, material from Blunstone's solo career, and hits by Rod Argent and Chris White's post-Zombies project, Argent. By hits, we of course mean "Hold Your Head Up".
Photos: Ted Leo and the Pharmacists [Chicago, IL; 04/28/07]
Capturing Ted Leo in still frame is akin to videotaping an apple; it works, but one feels the wrong device is being employed. Standing agog through 80 minutes of Leo's whirling dervish act, one wonders just exactly how he replaces the protein in his vegan diet: despite getting a serious shine on (figuratively and otherwise) circa tune two, Ted never faltered this past weekend at Chicago's Metro.
Sweaty Teddy and his pill-counters spread their set nearly evenly between back catalog highlights and Living With the Living, pausing only briefly for a solo take on Joe Strummer's "Johnny Appleseed". The added oomph of the live setting wears well on "The Sons of Cain" and "Army Bound" (and leaves no room to pick up that confounded whistle in "A Bottle of Bucky"), but "La Costa Brava" and "The Unwanted Things" quickly show their haunches, pleasing though they were to the youthful crowd.
Even the lesser material manages to captivate on the shoulders of Leo's boundless cheerleading, and one can never hear "Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone?" or "Me and Mia" too often. After nearly an hour and a half of rudeness-- including an encore-capping all-star jam with the Jai-Alai Savant's Ralph Darden and openers Love of Diagrams-- the set's 10 p.m. endtime couldn't have come soon enough. It's tiring, watching somebody pogo about like that. Tiring, but satisfying.
Ted Leo wraps up his North American tour this month, barely catches his breath, and then does it all over again in Europe.

Postal Service, Flaming Lips, Spektor Cover Lennon
Instant karma's gonna getcha; provided, that is, you plop down some dough on Instant Karma, a 21-track CD of John Lennon covers performed by some of your favorite artists (and, uh, Jack Johnson) with proceeds headed straight to Amnesty International's campaign to save Darfur.Pitchfork faves the Flaming Lips, R.E.M., Big & Rich, the Postal Service, and Regina Spektor have donated tracks to the disc, while the likes of Willie Nelson, Duran Duran, and Ozzy Osbourne will offer up tracks for digital download. Also, Avril does "Imagine"; for some, a punchline, for others, manna from heaven.
Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur arrives June 12 via Warner Bros. And yes, some of these covers have been in the ether for a while, but hey, good cause! [MORE...]

Elvis Costello Best-Ofs, Digital Reissues Due
Don't you think that I know that lavish repackaging won't make you a miracle man?
Costello, in conjunction with Universal Music Entertainment, hand-picked 22 of the more propulsive numbers from his back catalog and called it Rock and Roll Music; which-- alongside the similarly self-selected Costello crash-course The First 10 Years: The Best of Elvis Costello-- will file in with the seemingly unending pantheon of Costello reissues tomorrow, May 1.
May 1 will also see the digital debut of Costello's first 11 albums. They'll pop up on the iTunes music store May Day and migrate to other outlets 30 days later.
Costello and his current band of Imposters are not coincidentally out on the road for a few dates throughout May. [MORE...]
Ian Curtis Biopic Control to Premiere at Cannes
If you only see one depressing-ass musician biopic this season, make it this one
We learned that Alexandra Maria Lara, who plays Curtis' mistress Annik Honoré, is smokin'. We learned that the dudes in New Order (birthed, as you're well aware, from the ashes of Joy Division) are less than jazzed about how the film in being handled. And we learned that there'll be a Control launch party at Cannes complete with a moment of silence to mark the 27th anniversary of Curtis' death.
According to a Variety report, the bash will surround the premiere of Control at Cannes on May 17, while members of New Order, Depeche Mode, and U2 (some guy called Bono) are expected to be in attendance.
What we haven't learned, however, is why anyone would wanna see this potentially brain-screwdriveringly bleak flick when they could just as easily nab some Orville Redenbacher, find a couchward groove, and pop in the Shelley Duvall/Christopher Lloyd/Terry "Hulk" Hogan jewel Suburban Commando. To each their own, I reckon.
Courtney Love to Auction Kurt Cobain's Belongings
Courtney Love is an easy target, though maybe unfairly. Because even though she hasn't seemed to do much justice to the memory of Kurt Cobain since his death, her life hasn't exactly been a cakewalk. Losing a spouse and raising a child alone are rough, to say the least, and Cobain worshipers aren't the most forgiving of fans.So we'll grant her a pass for this latest Kurt-related move. In an interview with AOL music blog Spinner, Love said she plans "to have a Christie's auction" for most of the Cobain memorabilia that she possesses and "make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity." See, there are worse things.
Though the decision seems sudden and a little arbitrary coming 13 years after Cobain's death, Love is apparently just sick of having so many of Cobain's belongings remind her of the past. "[My house] is like a mausoleum," she said. "My daughter doesn't need to inherit a giant hefty bag full of flannel fucking shirts... A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to '[Smells Like] Teen Spirit'-- that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just fucking sell."
The details of the auction are still forthcoming.
Love is planning the release of her second solo album, Nobody's Daughter, which draws inspiration from her highly publicized relationships with Cobain, Billy Corgan, Trent Reznor, and actor Edward Norton, according to Spinner. "I still wear his pajamas to bed," she said of Cobain. "How am I ever going to go form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt's pajamas?"
Exclusive: Yo La Tengo Join Bang on a Can Marathon
Event also features the Books, Juana Molina, Dälek, Dirty Projectors, Clogs
Trippy Argentinian songstress Juana Molina, cut-and-paste artists the Books, swamp-rappers Dälek, falsetto wackos Dirty Projectors, and percussive fiends Clogs head up an already rock solid bill brimming over with renowned ensembles and modern orchestral music groups. Now, Jersey's finest Yo La Tengo will join the gathered masses mustering their best Doug Funnie impressions for 26+ hours of revelry at the World Financial Center's Winter Garden June 2-3. The Marathon helps kick off the River to River Festival, and did we mention it's totally free?
Performers will tackle the work of Steve Reich, Brian Eno, Thurston Moore, James Tenney, Edgard Varèse, and many more. Bring the whole family: the event's also chock full of worthy world musicians, and art, and kids' stuff, too.
Yo La Tengo, meanwhile, have a fest-heavy handful of dates lined up in the coming months. [MORE...]
Stage Theatrics Land Brightest's Worden in Hospital
Photos by Randi MolofskyYou're not a true rock star until you execute a death-defying onstage jump, and you're not lovably human until you fall on your ass while attempting one.
Shara Worden has achieved the former many times before while touring the world with My Brightest Diamond, but it was the latter (arguably an even greater feat) that she managed this past Friday (April 27) while opening for the Decemberists at the House of Blues in Las Vegas.
According to a spokesperson at Asthmatic Kitty, Shara "went for a rock jump during the song 'Magic Rabbit' and upon landing, dislocated her left knee. Worden finished out the song from the floor and then requested a chair and an icebag. She finished the set but was then carried off stage and taken to the hospital."
She's okay now-- and does not plan to cancel any shows-- "but Worden will be performing sitting down for a while. Her days off are spent reading self-help books in patio chairs and adjusting her knee brace."
What's more, "Just before the show in Vegas, [bassist Nathan] Lithgow ['a champion volleyball server'] and Worden, ironically, were practicing jump moves as a pre-concert warm up. It seems that Worden's competitive spirit brought her downfall."
This is not Shara's first onstage slip-up, either. According to AK, she also landed on her tush after some hang-time at a previous St. Louis gig.
And lest you question Worden's aerial prowess, scope this photographic evidence of the "pre-concert warm up" jumps, courtesy of Randi Molofsky (via Shara's manager, James Worden).
