Yeah, the song's called Never Ever. As for D'arcy (Ex-Pumpkins Bassist), no one's heard anything since her drug bust in 2000. Remember the 1993 Siames Dream tour documentary video called Vieuphoria? Word is that it's to be released on DVD very soon. Details are coming if this is, in fact, true. This video had a soundtrack called Earphoria; word is that this will be re-released as well.

album review: Beck - Sea Change (Geffen)
album review: Paul Westerberg - Stereo (Vagrant)
album review: Low - Things We Lost in the Fire (Kranky)
article: When the Second Single Fail by Ken Napzok
Okay, Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is good-- great, even. But did anyone else get sick of all the album-of-the-year hype pompously proclaimed so early in the year? Sure, "Radio Cure" and "Reservations" are simply brilliant, but can we really say the annoying "I'm the Man Who Loves You" fits the album? This is not a Wilco backlash: It's just that the politics behind Yankee Hotel Foxtrot seemed to boost Wilco to unprecedented, and perhaps, unwarrented levels. Well, it's September now, and Beck has just released his latest and, perhaps, greatest album, Sea Change. And if my prophetic powers are as strong as my pecs, hopefully many critics and fans will erase their number one spot and at least wait until the year is finished. However, my pecs are pretty weak, so we'll see.
But with the lackluster review at Pitchfork, many p-fork devotees will discount Beck's Sea Change as a major label failure rather than an artistic triumph. Just remember, they gave Circulatory System a 9.5 out of 10 and Trail of Dead's Source Tags & Codes a 10 out of 10! Wow!

Sigur Ros Cancel Two US Tourdates
From Sigur-ros.co.uk:
"two of the dates from the upcoming north american tour have been cancelled. the cancelled shows are kansas city (november 15th) and the second of the two l.a. concerts (november 20th). the reasons for these cancellations are unknown to us but we do know that the band doesn't make tour decisions, the tour manager does, so please don't blame the band for personally for this or for not playing in your local city. there's another usa tour planned for april 2003 and hopefully the band will then be able to play in some of the cities they haven't visited yet."

Nada Surf Joins Barsuk Records
According to Basement Life: Nada Surf, the band who became popular from a song titled "Popular," has found a new home with the Seattle, Washington-based label, Barsuk Records (Death Cab for Cutie, The Long Winters, John Vanderslice, Metallica, Bill Murray).
After a struggle with Elektra Records, the band was forced to release their 2000 album, The Proximity Effect on their own label titled MarDev. Opting to find a middle ground between self-releasing and a major label, the band found Barsuk Records who will be releasing the band's third album in January of next year. The album is titled Let Go and was partially mixed by Death Cab's Chris Walla, which may explain the jump to Barsuk. Or not.

Gavin Rossdale Finds Some Bush to Call His Own No Doubt
Gavin Rossdale of rock outfit Bush (haha, that name still makes me laugh) has tied the knot with Gwen Stefani of No Doubt. Of course, one wedding in London is not enough, so they will make a trip to LA for their second wedding. And a few of us from the TinyMixtapes staff (kasey diaz, robot, and cowboy dan) will be there to write a glowing review. Has anyone else noticed that "Glycerine" is the same chord progression as Green Day's "When I Come Around"? Ahh, the 90s kicked ass.

The Beck: Sea Change
Follow the links at Beck.com to listen to his new album, Sea Change. They have been posting one song a week for quite some time now, and are currently at "Little One," the penultimate song. And if you're feeling guilty for listening to the album early, you're dumb. It's on their official website. Just make sure you buy this awesome, awesome album next Tuesday (September 24th).

New Dismemberment Plan Song
Go here for a direct link to a new Dismemberment Plan song called "Angry Angel." Listen as Travis does his best Ben Gibbard impression. I can't believe this is the same band that wrote "Bra." Now I realize Change wasn't so much a tangent from their punk-pop anthems as an indictation of a new style, for better or worse.

As previously reported, ( ) is to be released on October 29th and is expected to be less slick than Agaetis Byrjun. Sigur-ros.co.uk has recently reported that the album is divided into two halves. The first half will contain "sweeter, quieter" sounding songs, while the latter half will feature somber, bombastic compositions. The two halves are to be divided by silence, continuing the minimal motif found in the artwork and title of the album.

Death Crab for Cutie: You Can Play These Songs with Chords
Taken from Barsuk.com, because, well, I'm lazy:
Release date: October 22, 2002
Pre-orders will be accepted beginning October 11
In 1997, before Death Cab for Cutie was a band, Ben Gibbard and Chris Walla made an 8-song cassette. Originally released by Bellingham's Elsinor Records, you can play these songs with chords is a remarkable document of what was to become DCFC. The Barsuk release compiles the original 8 songs, plus 10 tracks of unreleased early recordings, covers, and outtakes from 1997-2000 (taken from recording sessions for chords, something about airplanes, and we have the facts and we're voting yes).
Eighteen songs: president of what? / champagne from a paper cup / pictures in an exhibition / hindsight / that's incentive / amputations / two cars / line of best fit / this charming man / tv trays / new candles / tomorrow / flustered/hey tomcat / state street residential / wait / prove my hypotheses / song for kelly huckaby / army corps of architects
These may or may not be lyrics from the alternate version of "Champagne From A Paper Cup":
"I never would've dreamed in a million years I'd see, so many motherfuckin' people who feel like me/who share the same views and the same exact beliefs, it's like a fuckin' army marchin' in back of me/So many lives I touch, so much anger aimed in no particular direction, just sprays and sprays and straight through your radio waves it plays and plays, till it stays stuck in your head for days and days/who woulda thought, standing in this mirror bleachin' my hair, with some peroxide, reachin for a t-shirt to wear/that I would catapult to the forefront of rap like this? How could I predict my words would have an impact like this/I must've struck a chord, with somebody up in the office, cuz Congress keeps telling me I ain't causin' nuthin' but problems/and now they're sayin' I'm in trouble with the government, I'm lovin' it, I shoveled shit all my life/and now I'm dumping it on... "
These may or may not be lyrics from a song off Out of Season:
"From the depths of the sea, back to the block / Snoop Doggy Dogg, Funky, yes but of the Doc / Went solo on that ass, but it's still the same / Long Beach is the spot where I served my cane / Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, but don't lose your grip / Nine-trizzay's the yizzear for me to fuck up shit / So I ain't holdin nuttin back / And motherfucker I got five on the twenty sack / It's like that and as a matter of fact [DRE: rat-tat-tat-tat] / Cuz I never hesitate to put a n*gga on his back / [DRE: Yeah, so peep out the manuscript You see that it's a must we drop gangsta shit] / What's my motherfuckin name?"

Shortlist Music Prize Nominees
It's that time of year again. The Shortlist Music Prize, the American version of the UK's Mercury Music Prize, has just announced the nominees for this year's gala, many of which are 2001 releases. Anyway, the nominees are...
Aphex Twin - Drukqs
The Avalanches - Since I Left You
Bjork - Vespertine
Cee-Lo - Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections
DJ Shadow - The Private Press
The Doves - The Last Broadcast

The event will be held at the usual Knitting Factory in Los Angeles, CA on October 29th. Sigur Ros won for Agaetis Byrjun last year. This year, members of The Strokes, Beck, and Mos Def will be on the judging panel. I wonder if The Strokes will vote for The Vines-- uh, I mean The Hives.

Alien 8 Presentations: Francisco Lopez Curates 'Blank Field'
Attention all you avant-garde aficionados and left-field enthusiasts: Francisco Lopez is curating a program of experimental music as part of the 5th International Manifestation on Video and Electronic Art 'Cite des Ondes.' You lucky Montreal denizens will have a chance to catch some of the most groundbreaking artists of our time. Boing!
From Alien 8 Recordings:
FRANCISCO LOPEZ CURATES 'BLANK FIELD'
'blank field,' a program of experimental music curated by Francisco Lopez as part of the 5th International Manifestation on Video and Electronic Art 'Cite des Ondes', organized by Champ Libre Montreal, 16-23 September 2002
Monday 16th - 7:30pm (free entrance): Live show: MANON ANNE GILLIS (France) One of the pioneers of the experimental music underground. A visceral and intimate sound artist and performer with that rare ability to create and maintain her own rich sonic world.
Tuesday 17th - 1:00 to 5:00pm (free entrance): Sound installation: "Zoomspectives" by SLAVEK KWI aka ARTIFICIAL MEMORY TRACE (Czech Republic) One of the finest manipulators in the intricate game of 'perception' vs. 'reality' a la post-musique concrete, with a deep commitment to the listening experience. An immersive multi-channel environment in complete darkness.
Tuesday 17th - 7:30pm: Live show: MASAMI AKITA aka MERZBOW (Japan) The 'king' of noise. A medium for an endless flow of raw sonic matter? The physicalization of sound in full power, beyond any meaningful conception.
Wednesday 18th - 7:30pm: Live show: OREN AMBARCHI (Australia) An outstanding explorer of the electronic guitar, his work has transcended the instrument into a zone of alien beauty and sonic impossibilities to critical acclaim.
Thursday 19th - 7:30pm: Live show: MICHAEL NORTHAM (USA) One of the most adventurous creators of dense, 'organic', multi-layered sonic spaces of thrilling complexity; like quizzical angels calling from the air.
Friday 20th - 7:30pm: Live show: SHUNICHIRO OKADA aka i.d. (Japan) An obscure entity dealing with raw data manipulation and complex walls of sound. A direct, solid, straightforward kick in our sensitive matter.
Saturday 21st - 7:30pm: Live show: DANIEL MENCHE (USA) A master of 'somatic' drones, his sonic constructions enhance the mystery of confusion through a powerful world where space is maximized with sound energy.
Sunday 22nd - 7:30pm: Live show: ABSOLUTE NOISE ENSEMBLE Live collaboration of several 'blank field' artists in a multi-channel ensemble setting. Concept & live meta-mixing: Francisco Lopez.

Well, the dates for the first leg of this curious collaboration has just been announced. The Lips ended its Unlimited Sunshine Tour with Cake, De La Soul, and Modest Mouse in Minneapolis, MN (where the 6-story TinyMixtapes complex is located) late last month, and will begin the tour with Beck in the same city. Cool, huh? Though, I'm a little worried for Beck and The Lips because another band has announced a tour in October, also (see the next news bit).
Sea Change comes out Sept 24th, I think. Go to Beck's Official Website for details on pre-ordering tickets. Here are the dates:
10.17.02 Minneapolis, MN Orpheum Theater
10.18.02 Chicago, IL Chicago Theater
10.20.02 Toronto, CAN Massy Hall
10.21.02 Detroit, MI Detroit Opera House
10.22.02 Indianapolis, IN Murat Center
10.24.02 Columbus, OH Mershon Auditorium
10.25.02 Cleveland, OH The Palace Theater
10.26.02 Syracuse, NY Landmark Theater
10.28.02 Boston, MA Orpheum
10.30.02 New York City, NY Beacon Theater
10.31.02 New York City, NY Beacon Theater
****note: If you are on the Flaming Lips mailing list, the dates they provided are wrong, as it is physically impossible to tour in a month that has already passed. But who knows? Flaming Lips are very capable beings.

As you might have guessed, the new album, titled Mt. Eerie, will be released on K Records. Inspired by the bombastic choirs on Bjork's Vespertine, Elvrum employed a wealth of musicians to help create a similar ambience. The album contains only five songs, all which are supposedly a make up of smaller songs within.
With growing connections between his last several albums, Mt. Eerie will begin with the same amplified heartbeat found on the closing minutes of The Glow pt. 2. The forthcoming album is set for an early January release. Also, two seven-inches should be out shortly, and Elvrum just received a grant to craft a photography book.
Here's the tracklisting, and yes, there are two songs with the same title:
1. The Sun
2. Solar System
3. The Universe
4. Mount Eerie
5. The Universe

Blur and the British Press
Much like the conspiracy theories surrounding 9-11, NME has made it their duty to find out the truth behind Blur, their guitarist Graham Coxon, their producer Fatboy Slim, and their new album. Over the past couple weeks, there has been confusion as to whether Coxon is even in the band anymore, as he has not been in the studio recording with the rest of the band. Well, in typical NME fashion, their journalists would just not let any dust settle before reporting their findings. So, if you're interested, here is a link to the most up-to-date findings.

And as reported on their official website, Massive Attack plan to release another album within a year after the forthcoming album. This album will be "less precious" and "more disposable." Hmmm, I don't think that's the best marketing strategy.
In addition to the two new albums, Massive Attack plan to tour next year.

Bjork Stole Equipment from a London home!
I mean, a thief/burglar/robber stole equipment from Bjork's London home. According to NME, while she was sleeping in her flat in Maida Vale, London (August 30th), someone broke in and stole her recording equipment. Who would have the guts to steal from Bjork? Don't they remember what happened to that camera guy who was filming her newborn?
Speaking of newborns, two people in the department where I work had babies recently. Bjork will also by the end of the year.

Moby vs. Eminem
If you're interested in two nearly-bald guys battling out, check out this hilarious article at CDNOW. Is it just me, or do these two guys kinda look the same? Maybe Eminem is battling Moby in a quest to battle his own inner demons. Sniff Sniff.
