Photos: Black Lips at Camelot for Kids Benefit [Chicago, IL; 03/01/08]
Photos by Kirstie Shanley
Those Black Lips may seem all rough-and-tumble on the outside, but inside lie four genuine hearts of gold. This past Saturday, prior to the Lips' sold out gig at Chicago's Logan Square Auditorium, the Atlanta quartet put on a previously mentioned show for some youngsters from the Camelot for Kids organization, which helps children with special needs. (The folks at the Empty Bottle helped organize the show.)
Black Lips and kids alike also took in a puppet show from Miss Pussycat (Quintron & Miss Pussycat have been supporting Black Lips on this tour). And as they did last time with Fujiya & Miyagi, the Camelot kids once again presented their guest entertainers with a unique gift: a framed, photo-bedecked, giant thank you note. Too cute!
Having changed a few more lives for the better, Black Lips continue on their North American trek through late March. Then in May, they head to the UK, with a stop at ATP Vs. Pitchfork. To coincide with that British tour, the band will release a new double A-side single on May 12 on Vice. The songs on the single will be "Bad Kids" (from Good Bad Not Evil) and a new song, "Leroy Faster".

Black Kids Cover Sophie B. Hawkins on Single
By naming their band Black Kids and calling their debut EP Wizard of Ahhhs, those buzzed-about Floridians have done a pretty decent job so far of carving out a mischievous niche for themselves. The Kids will continue the mischief making with the UK single release of "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You" on April 7.In a previous report, we confirmed that the single would be the band's inaugural release for Almost Gold (their label everywhere outside of North America), but what we didn't know is that one of the B-sides will be a cover of "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover". Yes, the "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" that was a 1992 hit single for Sophie B. Hawkins. The "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" with bedroom overtones like, "I give you something sweet each time you come inside my jungle book." The "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" that's actually a pretty great Sinead O'Connor knock-off. Is there any other?
The other B-side on the Bernard Butler-produced single is an original called "You Turn Me On", but what if it was really another cover?
Speaking of the former Suede guitarist, Black Kids are preparing to enter the studio with Butler to record their first full-length for a July release, which they will precede with another single. Before and after that, the Kids have a ton of tour dates in the UK and North America. [MORE...]

Photos by Natalie KardosTheir pronouns may not quite align, but their musical stars sure do. She & Him, the new vehicle for closet singer-songwriter Zooey Deschanel and veteran sound-maker M.

In addition to graphics that make reality seem second-rate, as well as limitless playability, past 2K Sports offerings have featured bangin' in-game soundtracks, compiled in collaboration with folks like Sub Pop and Matador. This time around, Pitchfork was given the opportunity to select some of the music for Major League Baseball 2K8.
We put our

New Nine Inch Nails Album Available NOW
"Nine Inch Nails presents Ghosts I - IV, a brand new 36 track instrumental collection available right now. Almost two hours of new music composed and recorded over an intense ten week period last fall, Ghosts I - IV sprawls Nine Inch Nails across a variety of new terrain.
"Trent Reznor explains, "I've been considering and wanting to make this kind of record for years, but by its very nature it wouldn't have made sense until this point. This collection of music is the result of working from a very visual perspective - dressing imagined locations and scenarios with sound and texture; a soundtrack for daydreams. I'm very pleased with the result and the ability to present it directly to you without interference. I hope you enjoy the first four volumes of Ghosts." [MORE...]
Arcade Fire to Rock Ohio for Obama
Win Butler can talk the talk, and now he and several of his Arcade Fire bandmates are prepared to walk the walk in support of Barack Obama's bid for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.
With several major primaries going down this coming Tuesday (March 4) that could decide the contest once and for all, Butler, Regine Chassagne, Jeremy Gara, and Sarah Neufeld will hit Ohio on Sunday and Monday to drum up support for Obama.
On Sunday March 2, they will play a show at Stuart's Opera House in Nelsonville. Then on Monday, March 3, they'll play at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland. Start lining up now, because the shows are free and first come, first serve. Colin Stetson will open.
BUT WAIT! Aren't Arcade Fire Canadian? Why are they meddling with our political process?
NOT SO FAST. A press release clarifies: "Though the Arcade Fire is known as a Canadian band, Win and Will were born and raised in the U.S. (and spent their formative years in Texas), Regine is a dual citizen whose dad served in Vietnam, and Jeremy Gara is just a really nice Canadian who likes playing music and is sick of explaining to Americans what universal health care means."
GOBAMA!
Most Serene Republic, Miracle Fortress, Liam Finn Tour
Most Serene Republic photo by Ben Telford
Fans of complex, comely Canadian indie pop with a dash of New Zealand singer/songwriter, the tour of 2008 has arrived... almost. Think About Life's Graham Van Pelt and his Miracle Fortress project will join up with the Most Serene Republic and Liam Finn for a week of U.S. shows in late March.
All three acts have new and new-ish releases to promote: MSR's Population, which dropped in October on Arts & Crafts, Miracle Fortress' Five Roses got a Secret City release in May, and Finn's I'll Be Lightning, out last month on Yep Roc.
Everybody also has dates of their own surrounding their time together.

Kelley Polar Claims Sky Is Falling on New Album
It's been just over a year since our initial mention of I Need You to Hold on While the Sky Is Falling, ethereal disco artist Kelley Polar's follow-up to 2005's Love Songs of the Hanging Gardens. Way back when, the disc had no name, no release date, hardly anything but the ability to cause strong pangs of anticipation in its potential listeners. It still has that, of course, but now it has all those fun details too.Polar's I Need You to Hold On is due March 4 on Environ, the label owned by frequent Polar collaborator and Falling mixer Morgan Geist. Rhapsody and iTunes users can scoop it up right now, though.
Meanwhile, a tour featuring Polar's new live band is expected to follow sometime this year, and Polar himself will be at Brooklyn's Studio B tomorrow night (March 1) for an Environ label "Bar Mitzvah", along with DJ sets from Metro Area, Dan Selzer, and Junior Boy Jeremy Greenspan.
In other Kelley Polar news, he got his hands on Caribou's "She's the One", remixing the track for a recent single. [MORE...]
