From feeds.pitchforkmedia.com at 09/05/08 04:20 PM. 0 comments.

With Built to Spill, Wayne Coyne, X, Nellie McKay

Have you seen this crazy "Pancake Mountain" show? It is way crazy, dude. A bunch of puppets, a bunch of indie rockers, and a whole mess of kids get together to say and do the darndest things, and even more wackiness ensues from the mixture that you can possibly imagine.

The fifth "Pancake Mountain" DVD-- collecting episodes nine and 10, plus a handful of bonus features-- is out now, and boy howdy, is the lineup of talent impressive.

The DVD features appearances from the likes of Wayne Coyne, M.I.A., Built to Spill, Iggy Pop, Meat Puppets, X, Nellie McKay, Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, PSAPP, Scissor Sisters, Northern State and so on. Your next dance party/babysitting gig/drug binge so needs this.

As always, check your local listings to see if there's a "Pancake Mountain" anywhere near your airwaves.

Here's Nellie McKay with "Pancake Mountain"'s Rufus Leaking:

News: Beck Signs to XL Recordings in the UK

From feeds.pitchforkmedia.com at 09/05/08 11:00 AM. 0 comments.

At whatever point in the summer that 30 minute, 10 track, Danger Mouse-produced, Cat Power-boosted Beck LP we've been talking about a lot this week happens to arrive, it'll do so in the UK thanks to the folks at his new overseas imprint, XL Recordings. The disc, about which we know literally nothing not contained within these two sentences, will hit the U.S. from Interscope sometime relatively soon.

Says XL founder Richard Russell in a press release: "We can't wait for everyone to hear the extraordinary music that he and Danger Mouse have made together." Says us: As representives of "everyone," we concur. We can't wait.

Beck's summer tour is currently scheduled to kick off June 25 at the Hove Festival in Arendal, Norway. [MORE...]

From www.tapesntapes.com at 08/05/08 06:30 PM. 0 comments.

"what's a vingle?", you ask. that's what we said. apparently, it's a high quality mp3 single and a high-res video bundled up into one sweet smelling package. so now that we've got that sorted out...we've got a vingle for "hang them all". if you head on over to the beggars group website. CLICK HERE, for a mere 97 cents (US), you can own the video for "hang them all" and the song. it's quite the bargain.


we also are super excited to announce that we will be playing with the one and only, black keys, on august 7th at mccarren pool, in brooklyn, ny. did we say that we are super excited? oh yeah, we are. it's gonna rule!


right now, we're still on tour. we've got 8 more north american shows before we head on over to europe. thanks to everyone who's come out to the shows so far. all of our remaining tour dates are on the shows page .

Radiohead's Nude remix project is yet another reminder that the age of passive reception of art is on the decline, that eventually we'll all be participating in some way.
