New Goldfrapp Album-'Seventh Tree'

Goldfrapp put on one of the best shows I have ever seen as well as creating some of the my most favorite dance songs. Alison Goldfrapp working alongside Will Gregory will be releasing her fourth album, 'Seventh Tree' via Mute Records on February 26th, 2008. The album follows the bands' 2005 record, 'Supernature' a glamourous and glitzy album that showcases Alison's ability to lure you into a world of fantasy and fun. Very excited for this release!

A bit of Halloween fun for you...

Bush lovers- turn your heads away... According to NME George Bush's ever so intelligent Press Secretary was quoted as saying, "I don't even know what that is...Is that a band?" when questioned what he thought of Radioheads' new album 'In Rainbows' and their release route during a Washington Times interview. Ahhh-have to love it.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Birthday to you...happy birthday to you...

Happy Birthday Dear dear Pianos...Happy Birthday to you...If you are out and about tonight you should stop by and celebrate at one of my favorite music venues the city has to offer. Yes yes, it is incredibly tiny and incredibly loud- but that is what makes it good! Think about all the good shows you have seen there...Cold War Kids, Illinois, The Maccabees, The Rosewood Thieves, Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah...you know you have some good memories. Plus it is an excuse to check out Bear Hands! They are set to go on around 10:00 PM and are one of the New York City bands to keep an eye on for 2008.

^*`~Mischief Night~*^`

Living in New York every night is an excuse to cause some kind of raucous so you might as well have some holiday music to accompany your activities before you head out to the NY Magazine party with Dan Deacon  or truck on down to Pianos to catch Bear Hands. Lucky for us, the folks over at Scarstuff have broken it down for you---Halloweeny style. They cleverly offer up several separated mixes into almost every kind of spooky genre you could wish for. I myself was excited to check out all the old vinyl covers- especially the ones with ZOMBIES! Heck yeah!

The Poison Control Center

The Poison Control Center want to wish you a safe and Happy Halloween
During my first listen of the foursome better known as The Poison Control center I was reminded of the film Thumbsucker. It was one of my favorite films a few years ago and all of the songs were The Polyphonic Spree covers of Elliot Smith in sweet sing along fashion. Don't let your first listen of The Poison Control Center trick you like it did me-this band from Iowa can rock-in a fashion that definitely should not be compared to the robed indie sensation (which creeps me out a bit, not going to lie). Patrick Fleming and Devin Frank collectively stage fits of flailing limbs and upside down guitar squeals during their live performances and often invite the audience to join in on the adventure. The Poison Control Center is a band that SHOULD have been a buzz during this years' CMJ festivities but was sadly overlooked by many. Although they have officially been a band touring and creating music for six years now they are still a band that lives life relatively under the radar. Their debut album, "A Collage of Impressions" was mastered by Doug Van Sloun (Bright Eyes-Rilo Kiley) and hit stores this fall on Afternoon Records. All four members of the band sing on every track, harmonizing into a colorful blend of pop and rock melody that takes on a whole new meaning during their acrobatic live set.

New Mars Volta Album and Drummer

The Mars Volta are a band that just amaze me with their creative and artistic talent. I was a huge fan of At The Drive-In with their on the edge-garage rock ballads. As the story goes, after the loss of a band member to drugs the surviving members formed The Mars Volta and morphed into a theraputic collective that holds nothing back. Their first album pierced my ears and heart with such raw pain that they quickly became one of my favorite bands. Their first album, Deloused in the Comatrorium stands within my top 5 of all time. As Panda Toes reports they are finishing up touches on their latest product, a 'concept' album based on the vision and spirit of Omar giving Cedric a gift. Slated to be released on January 29th, 2008 there is sure to be a lot of talk surrounding the skills of their new drummer, Thomas Pridgen.
