Weekly Round Up – May 31st 2009
Sorry we took a week off – I know you were all lost without our insight and guidance into the what’s happening in the world of music. Real life got in the way (kids, houses, graduating), but we promise not to let if happen again. Besides nothing all that cool happened then anyhow.
So here’s what is cool and intersting this week:
- Allentown, once reviled for its association with Billy Joel, made a comeback by giving birth to Pissed Jeans. Sub-Pop reveals PJs new album, King of Jeans’ artwork, tracklist and the release date (8/18/09)
- Fucked Up’s Pink Eye (Damian Abraham) is a media darling. He was recently announced to become Fox News regular on the show Red Eye, and then he was on the radio show Q to discuss the news. This is the same Q, where Billy Bob Thorton was a total dick.
- New Vivian Girls will be released by In the Red on 9/8/09 (while you are there you can pick up the repressed 7″ and the S/T)
- Adam LOVES Apollo Ghosts, so he, like you should be, is really excited about the reissues and new EP on Catbird records.
- MBV tips us off to a new Pains of Being Pure of Heart 7″
- Is your life lacking in sludgy punk and collective plates? Well then, you are in luck! Pre-order the new Big Business EP from HydraHead and add a collective ceramic plate! And if that doesn’t suit your fancy you can always pick up that Khanate engraved hunting knife (WTF)…
- Stereogum drops knowledge on the new Jay Reatard goings-ons as well as having a picture of him dressed up as a character from Underworld.
- Jimmy Fallon continues to have cool music moments despite the odds never being in his favor
Can anybody tell me why MCA is dressed like Walker Texas Ranger extra?
