Nissan Pavilion

From www.radiohead.com at 13/05/08 07:22 PM. 0 comments.

Due to Sunday night's torrential rain storm and consequential multiple road closures, many fans were unable to reach the Nissan Pavilion. While acknowledging a lack of control over the ensuing flooding and detours, the members of Radiohead are nevertheless disappointed regarding this turn of events. For further inquiries, ticketholders who didn't get in are urged to contact: customerservice@nissanpavilion.com

News: Be Your Own Pet Join Warped Tour!

From feeds.pitchforkmedia.com at 13/05/08 06:00 PM. 0 comments.

It's a match made in teenage heaven: The skater Eden known as Warped Tour has welcomed the raucous ruckus of Be Your Own Pet into its Hot Topic-clad arms for a slew of dates in July and August. While we personally don't plan to attend Warped Tour this summer, we can't imagine a more perfect pairing, and we get pretty psyched at the thought of unsuspecting Gym Class Heroes fans being turned on to one of the raddest live bands around.

The Warped dates now form the last leg of BYOP's already hefty North American tour, which just started last week. The band's next show is tonight (May 13) in Kansas City. [MORE...]

News: More Beck Album Details Emerge

From feeds.pitchforkmedia.com at 13/05/08 05:15 PM. 0 comments.

Beck's short, sharp shock of a new album coming out this summer (via XL & Interscope) has a few more details attached to it, thanks to a report from Rolling Stone's Rock Daily blog.

The report, confirmed by Beck's publicist, states that the record's tentative title is Modern Guilt and that it features the following songs: "Modern Guilt", "Beggars Shoes", "Chem Trails", and "Walls", the latter featuring featuring Cat Power.

The album also marks the end of Beck's record deal with Interscope. As for what's next, Beck told Rolling Stone, "I don't have any plans at the moment. It's anybody's guess where things are going week to week with the music business." [MORE...]

With Spiritualized, Death Cab for Cutie, Hot Chip, Gnarls Barkley, Justice, New Pornographers, My Morning Jacket, Raconteurs, Battles, Black Lips, the National

Benicàssim: it's not just for big reunions, troubled frontmen, and bands named after road parts anymore! Remember way the hell back in December, we told you that this year's Festival Internacional de Benicàssim would feature My Bloody Valentine, Babyshambles and the Rumble Strips when it went off July 17-20 in Benicàssim, Spain? And it will, still, barring incident. But now, we've got a whole lot more of the full lineup, and it runs the gamut from greatly awesome to awesomely great to, well, Mika.

As we now know, Leonard Cohen, Morrissey, Death Cab for Cutie, Sigur Ros, Spiritualized, Hot Chip, Gnarls Barkley, Justice, Battles, Black Lips, the New Pornographers, the Raconteurs, My Morning Jacket, the National, El Guincho, José González, These New Puritans, Fujiya & Miyagi, Booka Shade, the Futureheads, Erol Alkan, American Music Club, Supermayer, Roisin Murphy, the Kills, Siouxsie Sioux, Richard Hawley, Yelle, Tiefschwarz, Ewan Pearson, Micah P. Hinson, Nada Surf, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Metronomy, Tricky, Bracken, the Glimmers, Heavy Trash, the Ting Tings, Eef Barzelay, and Joakim will all take the stage at Benicàssim. So even if you've got no love for Loveless-- wait, what's wrong with you?

Rained on in Washington again

From www.radiohead.com at 12/05/08 04:54 PM. 0 comments.

To everyone who made it, and put up with the torrents on the lawn, and came early to catch the Liars and our show, thank you so much for braving the deluge. I hope you heard what you came for, the music and lights diverting you from the wet. We got out of there around three am, and the pic shows Jonny waiting in the loading bay whilst the water streams across the tarmac. We've had floods at Bull Creek, lightning at the RFK stadium, so there must be some kind of Biblical fix between us and DC. Frogs next time?

So do Stars, the Go! Team, the Pipettes, I'm From Barcelona, Kaiser Chiefs

For the third and final installment of their Verbena Selected mp3 mix series, the folks at Buffet Libre left the tracklist up to some of their (and our) favorite artists, who each chose their "favorite electronic track at the moment."

The result is Verbena Selected 3: The Aftershow Party, which features curators such as Bright Eyes, Stars, the New Pornographers, Of Montreal, the Go! Team, the Pipettes, Kaiser Chiefs, Tilly & the Wall, the Raveonettes, and I'm From Barcelona choosing tunes by Björk (remixed by Ratatat), Gary Numan, Orange Juice, Apparat, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Lykke Li, and others. And who knew Conor Oberst liked the Bug?

It sounds like a clusterfuck of coolness, but the best part is that Buffet Libre is offering Verbena Selected 3 for free download via the link below. It's only available until June, though, so get to right clickin'. [MORE...]

Morrissey says: "I will take Hyde Park like a flea inhabits a dog. Art-hounds and people with badly cut hair are very welcome. I shall do my utmost not to pull a sour face."

Summer brings festivals like photosynthesis brings oxygen, but the O2 Wireless Festival has already made that connection. London's Hyde Park will once again host the festival this year on July 3-6.

Playing on various dates and stages will be Jay-Z, Morrissey, Beck, the Hold Steady, Robyn, the National, Hot Chip, Guillemots, Mark Ronson, Black Kids, Hercules and Love Affair, Annie, Siouxsie Sioux, Saul Williams, New York Dolls, Underworld, Booka Shade, MSTRKRFT, Bootsy Collins, Roisin Murphy, dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip, Lightspeed Champion, Jaguar Love, Cornershop, the Wombats, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, and more.

Morrissey made the following semi-inscrutable statement about his July 4 headlining set (his only UK show this summer):

"What is classical is what we all agree on, and I think we all acknowledge Hyde Park festivals as important events. I am honored to be asked to headline on July 4, marking my 26th year haunting British music, and following the Hyde Park greats-- T. Rex, Joan Armatrading, and someone with insecure teeth. I promise a thundering bill of tight nerves and suavity and all your favorites from Disc magazine. I will take Hyde Park like a flea inhabits a dog. Art-hounds and people with badly cut hair are very welcome. I shall...
