Weekly Round Up – June 28th 2009
We’re a little late this week (again). I know we’ve promise to get our act together before, but the lure of the summer sun proved too strong this weekend. Anyway, here’s what caught our eye last week.
- Attention: garage rock supergroup Almighty Defenders are releasing their album on September 22, clear a spot on your Year’s Best Records list now.
- Pure Groove has exclusive rights to the new Cymbals Eat Guitars 7″ – buy low sell high!
- Total bummer – Sub Pop announces Oxford Collapse break-up. “In Your Volcano” and “Please Visit Your National Parks” were some killer tunes.
- A mildly famous pop star passed away…
- Slate’s Seth Stevenson takes the Black Eyed Peas to task and questions the notion (or lack thereof) of selling out in the modern age.
- John Moe’s Pop Song Correspondences Volume XX
- R.E.M.’s Reckoning gets the deluxe reissue treatment
