Meltdown

So. As y'all know, I've been a bit lax in the update department. I'm not even going to apologize, since a month-long blackout is equal to a long vacation. Therefore, I'll just pretend that I was chillin' in Hawaii, rather than moving, working, sleeping, upgrading MT and redesigning.
So, yeah. Going to see Crooked Fingers and Dolorean tonight. (If you haven't heard them yet, Dolorean released my favorite album from 2004 that I didn't hear until 2005.) Hip stuff going on below.
There are some hottt pieces for show (and sale!) over at Tiny Showcase. Peep it.
The lovable band of rogues known as The Dandy Warhols have a new album coming soon—titled Odditorium or Warlords of Mars—which you can read about here and here.
Everyone's favorite Husker (Bob Mould) is prepping a new solo album, tentatively titled Body of Song, for a July 26th release on Yep Roc.
Speaking of Yep Roc, Robbie Fulks will be releasing his new album, Georgia Hard, on May 17th.
May 17th will also see the release of Besterberg, a Rhino best-of collection of Paul Westerberg's solo work, from Singles on up.
Bill Callahan is back and Drag City will be releasing Smog's 12th full-length, A River Ain't Too Much To Love, on May 31st.
It seems this will be the summer of Son Volt, with the release of a retrospective, a DVD and a new album (featuring ex-members of the Meat Puppets and The Backsliders rounding out Jay Farrar's backing band).
Mark Lanegan has once again dropped out of the touring incarnation of Queens of the Stone Age.
Albini is back on tour, verbally abusing a willing public while playing with Shellac.
Everyone's favorite avant-garde composer—John Zorn—is the new artistic director at The Stone, an all ages avant-garde music space in the East Village.
New Joy Division photos have recently come to light for the first time in 25 years. The photos, taken March 14, 1979, are of Joy Division's seminal show at the Bowden Vale Youth Club; dedicated fans interested in a little piece of history can buy prints at the site.
Real audiophiles rejoice! You can now get an iTube for your iPod.
