A Century Of Fakers
Contrary to my previous report, the new Belle and Sebastian album will be out Oct 7 and entitled Dear Catastrope Waitress. I never thought I’d see the day where I couldn’t believe what I read on the internet. I reserve the right to be totally wrong about this as well, though responsibility for the scoop falls squarely on the shoulders of Tiny Mix Tapes.
While on the subject of fey Scottish pop bands, Travis’ new album 12 Memories will be out in October.
Ted Leo has an EP of new material including Jam and Style Council covers coming out in October. From Delusions Of Adequacy.
The new American Music Club album, You Better Watch What You Say, is scheduled for a Spring 2004 release. Pitchfork talks to Mark Eitzel about the reunion.
JAM! talks to Grandaddy in advance of their Toronto show tomorrow night.
Crazy shit from the Largehearted Boy – Classic videos rendered in ASCII. It’s like the Matrix devoured VH1. Cool and somehow unsettling at the same time.
UPDATE: The new Shins album is entitled Chutes Too Narrow. Full details and an interview with James Mercer here.
