If Chan Marshall's Myspace blog is any indication, we can expect a new Cat Power record this January via the Matador label. Reprising her love of cover tunes, the set will be a continuation of 2000s

David Lynch :: A Soundtrack Enthusiast II
“A candy colored clown they call the sandman, Tiptoes to my room every night” - Roy Orbison
David Lynch: auteur/soundtrack enthusiast/hypnosis pundit.
Here we have a filmmaker who absolutely transforms the songs he incorporates in his films into his own – Aural puddy in his hands. Can anyone really hear Bobby Vinton’s “Blue Velvet,” without feeling the voyeuristic atmosphere that runs throughout the eponymous film? Of equal importance: Angelo Badalamenti, whose original, other . . .

Thurston Moore :: The Shape Is In A Trance
Not surprisingly, Thurston Moore's upcoming solo album, Trees Outside The Academy, (Sept 18 via Ecstatic Peace) has been getting a lot of our attention since catching Sonic Youth's performance of Daydream Nation, in its entirety, at the Greek Theatre, in July.
Those of you who caught Thurston's . . .

Oakley Hall :: I’ll Follow You (New Album/Merge)
It's hot as hell here in L.A. -- rock & roll is not only needed, it's damn near warranted. Such being the case, we're pretty excited for Oakley Hall's new LP, I'll Follow You, as last summer's become a member or log in.
Twin Peaks :: Fire Walk With Me
"I like my coffee black, like midnight on a moonless night." - Special Agent Dale Cooper
I was recently informed that season two of Twin Peaks, on DVD, is now available for purchase -- and actually has been since April of this year. Way back in ye olde 1990s I owned both seasons of the show on VHS. Those copies have long since disintegrated, and . . .

Pink Floyd :: Zabriskie Point Sessions
In honor of the life and work of filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni, (September 29, 1912 - July 30, 2007), here is a re-post, from last year, of a batch of tracks from the bootleg Zabriskie Point sessions. Rest in peace.When Radiohead's Ok Computer was released, one of the finest and most appropriate appraisals was that of deeming . . .

The Brunettes :: Structure & Cosmetics
I was originally turned on to this New Zealand pop duo, in 2005, by You Ain't No Picasso, and have been keeping tabs on them ever since. This month sees the release of their Sub Pop debut, so expect a bigger stateside splash than the last few albums released on the NZ based Lil' Chief imprint. Sub Pop correctly deems The Brunettes sound as "breezy, effervescent, Shangri-Las-reminiscent pop." OTM.

Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy :: Guilt By Association
Shortly after Friday's Zach Galifianakis/Will Oldham video post, a reader sent over this little gem...it's quite disturbing too. Here, Will Oldham, inhabiting his Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy persona, dutifully covers, a synth styled version of, Mariah Carey's "Can't Take That Away." Consider this fair warning.
If contemporary indie artists covering songs you probably can't stand is your thing, you're in luck. You can find this track, along with various other artists . . .

Black Moth Super Rainbow :: Dandelion Gum
Until last week I knew of Black Moth Super Rainbow only by name. Having now spent the past seven days with their latest LP, Dandelion Gum, I think it is safe to say they more than live up to their 'psychedelic' reputation.
While this shit is most definitely out there, it is also informed, and reined in by, a pop enthusiasm that keeps it from blasting off into the ether entirely. You might want to put on some headphones for . . .

Vic Chesnutt :: North Star Deserter
On a different level, Vic Chesnutt's musical collaborators and co-conspirators, over the past 15 years, are almost as interesting and varied as the southern Gothic bard's lyrical imagery itself. Always one for experimentation, the artist has collaborated with, among others: Van Dyke Parks, Lambchop, Michael Stipe, Will Johnson, Widespread Panic, and Bill Frisell. I could easily go on.

John Vanderslice :: Live – LA River Basin (Thurs)
Calling all John Vanderslice fans. JV and an Aquarium Drunkard would like to cordially invite you out to the LA river basin for a guerrilla-styled free concert. Think: that old U2 video, filmed on the rooftop in downtown LA, where the cops bust it up -- only smaller, and cooler.
Here is scoop: We will all meet up Thursday evening at 7pm in front of the Los Feliz Cafe . . .
