The third installment in Beck’s Record club.

This is what he had to say about it:

This one took place last June (09) when Wilco was in town for the release
of their new eponymous album. They came by after a long day filming
a TV appearance and still managed to put down eight songs with us.

Jamie Lidell was in the studio with me working on his new record.
Leslie Feist happened to be in town editing her documentary and heard
we were all getting together. Recording took place at Sunset Sound
Studios in the room where the Stones did a lot of Exile On Main Street
(and looking at the records on the walls it appeared that the Doobie
Brothers recorded most of their output there too). Sitting in on drums,
we had James Gadson, who’s played on most of the Bill Withers records
and on songs like ‘Express Yourself’ and ‘I Will Survive.’ Jeff Tweedy’s
son Spencer played played additional drums. Also, Brian Lebarton,
from the last two Record Club sessions is back.

No news yet on who they chose to cover for the 4th edition
or even if there is a next Record Club.

Stay tuned.

Tron: Legacy Trailer

Posted on | March 10, 2010 | 1 Comment

How fucking outstanding is this?

Seeing this trailer 3D IMAX style last night gave me a HUGE nerd boner.

French electro duo Daft Punk wrote the score. I mean how perfect
is that?

Flynn Lives.

To refresh your memory:

CGI sure has come a long way.

Autolux “Transit Transit” Tracklist + Thom Yorke Show

Posted on | March 9, 2010 | No Comments

I said I would report on any and all news concerning the new Autolux
album.

We’re not quite there yet when it comes to a release date (big shocker)
but we do now have an official tracklist:

And the record labels it shall be released on which are TBD Records
(Radiohead‘s label) for the U.S./Japan markets and for the UK/
rest of the world ATP Recordings.

This could come out next week or a year from now. It’s been 6 years
since their debut. What’s a few more years … I kid Autolux because
I love but common! pull the trigger on this already.

From this tracklist, seems half of them I have yet to hear.

“Census”, “Highchair”, “Spots”, “The Bouncing Walls” and “Kissproof”.

Altough some of these might be the untitled songs that
were included in their recent live show setlists.

Sad to see that one of my favorite live staples “Reappearing”
did not make the cut. Perhaps a future B-side?

As for live shows, they’ve been handpicked by Thom Yorke
to open for his Atoms For Peace show April 17 at the
Santa Barbara Bowl in Santa Barbara, CA.

Sweetest. Double bill. Ever!

Tickets can be purchased right here.

MVs Collection #12 ( SXSW 2010 )

Posted on | March 1, 2010 | No Comments

With South By Southwest only 17 days away (hellz yeah!), posts about
this amazing live music hootenanny will increase in frequency.

There’s the annual podcast I put together to give you a taste of what
I believe to be the best bands coming to Austin to give us all
musicgasms, that’ll be posted this weekend.

I will also do a few MVs collection posts with SXSW themed music videos of
bands who’ll also be in attendance this year.

First up, the shoegaze / noise rock / dream pop contingent who’ll be
showcasing their greatness on and around 6th Street.

St Deluxe – “New Wave Stars”

A classic performance video in (one assumes) a dank basement. Directed by Pete Fullarton.

This sweet, fuzzed out, guitar gem is from a Scottish foursome I discovered all
thanks to the formidable SXSW torrent.

Their self-titled debut is out now and their one, official SXSW showcase
will be @ Antone’s Saturday, March 20 at 9:30pm. Power pop legends Big Star
also happens to be on that bill.

Ume – “The Conductor”

Another performance video with jumpy, quick cuts. Directed by Paul Raila.

What would be a SXSW without Austin locals Ume bringing their sweet
shoegazian, alt rock sound to the masses. Come experience the big ball of energy (and awesome hair-whipping) that is singer and lead guitarist Lauren Larsen.
One of my SXSW ’09 highlights.

Their “Sunshower” EP is still out and you can catch them
at the Red 7 SXSW pre-party, March 16th at 10pm or at
their official showcase happening @ Submerged Wednesday,
March 17 also at 10pm.

Minipop – “Like I Do”

A beautiful animated video which seems to be inspired by an early 20th
century Georges Méliès film. Directed by Andrew Huang.

The sweetest dream pop coming out of the west coast, Minipop will have a new EP
titled “Automatic Love” available for sale @ SXSW.

Their one official showcase will be @ Aces Lounge
Saturday, March 20 at 10pm.

Do check out their 2007 debut album “A New Hope”.

Grooms – “Dreamsucker”

A trippy animated video featuring feathers, a dragon and a giraffe. Whatever they
were smoking when they came up with the concept for this video, I want some of it.
Directed by Christy Pitre & Sara Odam.

Brooklyn based Grooms (formerly The Muggabears) are SXSW veterans.

You’ll have many a chances to check out their angular, noice rock sounds at
the many day shows they’ll be part of.

Their debut album “Rejoicer” is out now.

True Widow – “A.K.A.”

A beautifully shot, vast frozen tundra, a skinny blonde girl and her shovel. Directed by Mats Ek.

Texas natives and SXSW repeat offenders, True Widow will blow chunks of your
skull off with their sludgy, grunge-y, hazy, and abit shoegaze-y stoner rock. Think of
them as Autolux‘s creepy uncle.

Demos for their sophomore album have been recorded so me thinks we should expect
the new album later on this year but in the meantime, do check out their 2008
self-titled debut.

They’re on the same bill as Ume for the SXSW pre-party @ Red 7 on March 16th and they have one official showcase @ Encore Friday, March 19 at midnight.
