Is it just me, or does Björk cancel a lot of shows? Fresh off her cancellation of Wild In The Country (which itself was canceled) and a Sheffield, UK show a few days ago, Björk has canceled her Finlandia Puisto/Park show in Helsinki citing voice problems.
"Sadly, due to medical issues with her voice, Björk has to cancel the show in Helsinki," states a post on her official website. "Ticket holders should return tickets to point of purchase to get a ticket refund. Björk thanks her fans for (...)

The guy from Castanets continues to live the kind of life I want to have, but never will. The kind of life that unfolds in your imagination with every new detail, looking like it was filmed by the Coen Brothers and scripted by someone less violence-inclined than Cormac McCarthy. The kind of life that makes press releases practically write themselves. Specifically, press releases referring to the fourth studio album from Castanets. According to the one I read before writing this story, the (...)

Japanese noise act Boredoms are screening a documentary of their 77 BOADRUM show in Japan! For those who aren't familiar or weren't around, 77 BOADRUM (Boa as in snake, drum as in... duh) took place July 7, 2007 in New York's Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park (not as cool as June 6, 2006, but still awesome). Boredoms played with 77 drummers spiraling out from the center where they were positioned.
It looked like this:
I was there, it ruled. But somehow I forgot that huge drum (...)

Remember when Torquil Campbell, the singer of Stars, starred in an episode of Sex and the City in 2000? Sure you do! But did you know that the other members of Stars also starred on a few hit shows back in the day? Really! Check out the list below:
Amy Millan may be a singer/guitarist in Stars today, but back in 1994, she was originally cast as ?Monica? on Friends. She backed out after a few episodes, and Courtney Cox was given the role instead.

From a post by Gerard Cosloy on Matador's blog:
Though mentally manipulating Spin editors and pursuing TV bookings wasn't previously Spencer's forte ?- we'd first encountered her via her awesome job co-hosting the Mystery Girls show on Cambridge's WMBR many years earlier ? to say she took to the gig like she'd been doing it all her life was an understatement. The insight, humor and attitude she brought to the office every day not only made her (...)

Well, folks, prepare to purchase your vinyl without an old coat of dust and poor independent record store lighting ? your baby's returning to the big time. Vinyl, the long-thought dead and "outdated" form of musical storage and presentation, is getting a test tryout at select Best Buy stores. Could this be the first tiny step for mainstream vinyl reemergence? Will this be the crossing of the Rubicon for the endless and non-profitable war between CDs and LPs? Will I have to start (...)

From a post by Joshua Homme on the official website of Queens of the Stone Age:
On July 2nd, at 11:11 AM, Natasha Shneider passed away. She ended her time in this Life with the style and poetry that she lived all the days previous, crossing over while held in the arms of her closest and dearest. No words can encapsulate the unwaivering strength she provided, adversities she overcome, the talents she possessed & nutured, the sharpness of her wit nor the beautiful complexity of her intellect.

A: However you choose to Ween, you should do so gradually, for both of your sakes. Try eliminating one feeding for a few days, then another, replacing it with random Ween albums, like White Pepper or last year's La Cucaracha, released on Rounder Records. Which feeding should you eliminate? Look for the one that your baby has the least interest in. For most, this is the middle of the day when there is much going on to serve as distractions. Remember, you can still nurse in the mornings and (...)

It doesn't get any better at Ponytail's official site. I am so dizzy; everything looks so... Baltimore (I get to say that because I'm from there.) I don't know what to click. There are GIFs of soccer balls, pictures of palm trees, and a desktop screen capture (although the partial view of the iTunes library suggests someone was rockin' out to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. I can get behind that.)
Ponytail are hitting the road with Joan of Arc in July, Don (...)

Top three reasons why it is a bad idea to rip off Ian Curtis' memorial stone from the Macclesfield Cemetery:
1. Stealing stuff from deceased persons is wrong, and they may have ghost buddies who will haunt you.
2. There is no way that attempting to sell it on eBay does not violate the website's terms and conditions.
3. It is really mean.
In spring 1980, Mr. Curtis, the frontman for seminal Manchester band Joy Division, hanged himself at the age of 23. The past few years have seen a (...)

SHRIMP SCAMPI
Two decades ago, a label called Sub Pop burst out of Seattle's moist vagina, bearing frankincense, myrrh, and a chalice full of gravely throated rockers making tunes fresh for the pressing. Young Sub Pop put out many choice cuts by Nirvana, Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, and others as part of its monthly Singles Club. This veritable Club Cool satisfied the wanton urges of nerdy nose-breathing record collectors for five years, until it dropped off the charts in '93 as mysteriously as the (...)

After somehow sleeping on this announcement for almost a month, I am prepared to spill the beans: Kevin Barnes has posted information about the new Of Montreal album on his MySpace blog. He's titled the album Skeletal Lamping and claims it will be released in October.
In his post, Barnes goes into detail about how the new album will be ?unpredictable and, at times, startling, yet always hummable and catchy.? Given the sound of his last couple of records, I sincerely (...)
