I'm glad you mentioned this, because I felt like a lot of people thought so, even though the voices are totally different. I think it was just the desperation for new Weezer material back in 2000.
I got the same answer, but it stitches together what it can find. Still worth it. I 90% enjoyed my experience.
I should have said "...recorded an album with them." Fixed!
He is from Drag City, and someone told me he's been doing this before Pavement's sets. I think it was supposed to be funny. Maybe he's the one that signed Neil Hamburger?
09/14 - Cleveland, OH @ Beachland Ballroom - just added, I think
Ha! But what song off Arular? I don't recognize it. Will investigate.
Yeah, it's the older Youtube control design that they got rid of in April: http://www.fastcompany.com/1634360/youtube-redesigns-video-appearance-looks-way-better-than-before
You are right! Comment more often!
But apparently truffle oil isn't made with real truffles: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/archives/2010/05/mia_and_lynn_hi.php
It's a little later time-wise, but I wonder why she didn't do a similarly-costumed video for Liztomania. Also, I couldn't find a director credit for "Holiday" but I will add when it comes up.
I was scared her publicist might! She was there to approve all the questions. Nerve-wracking stuff. A french fry would have been nice, we waited three hours for 15 m of interview time.
I really like this one!
I made my first remix! I guess it's also my first song, ever. Be gentle: http://soundcloud.com/jessicasuarez/champion-jss-remixxx COOL BEANS.
But doesn't it sound like the "schoolyard chant" that Fateman was referring to? I hope it's not this hard to figure out which track is the M.I.A.-penned one. Although, it's getting harder to tell what's hers with her own music...
Hm, Don isn't listed as the ASCAP writer, neither is Hanna http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=1543253&search_in=c&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=20&start=1 , there actually isn't an entry for this song yet, but I saw Le Tigre on the early track listing for this song...will investigate further.
Hey Brad, you're right! I updated the tour dates and added the new Sept/Oct ones.
You are not, but the post was missing a comma. Fixed it. Thanks!
It reminds me of Stone Roses, actually!
Bands have a higher profile than most individuals, who have to participate in boycotts and marches to have any say. That's why bands do benefits instead of simply donating cash -- they've got a platform. Using it to raise money / awareness for their side seems like it'd be more effective than taking it away. Also, they'd be taking away money from barely-profitable live venues, nonprofit arts spaces staffed by volunteers. Their boycott would have minimal impact on the state, but (if they got more bands to do this) it would be felt by the people who had booked them in the past. This is the kind of place that books Stars in Arizona: http://www.solarculture.org/solarculture/schedule/index.php Not exactly a stadium, convention center, or major tourist destination. I'd guess 99% of the indie rock audience in Arizona shares their opinion of the law. They are the ones who have, for years, staged marches, registered voters, driven to the border to confront the Minutemen. It's patronizing to think you're making them wake up to an issue that's been boiling down in Arizona for years and years before this law passed.

Toward the end of that ABC clip he says the new one "...sounds more like the last record." I'm hoping that, when the full Brian Williams interview is online, we'll also find out when he started wearing feather extensions. I thought they were just for the Boombox Lonely Island video. Kind of an intense day look, I think.
This press photo looks as if they Photoshopped together guys from completely different groups: a ska punk band, an alt country band, a garage band, and a wizard rock band.
You have to go 40 seconds into "Stylo" to hear it, but they definitely use the same three-note riff. Not a complete ripoff, maybe a 'blatant' one.
Just watched it, I really like Sofia's voice.
This URL: http://stereogum.com/news/ is pretty close to the old layout.
I do indeed. Thanks for the catch. I had my MJ docs and Strokes LPs mixed.
Oops, should be fixed now. Thanks!
"Giving Up The Gun" is also good shaving music: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/clips/snl-backstage-zach-shaves-his-beard/1207127/ That explains how he didn't have a beard for the last sketch, then had it back for the end.
To me, this will always be the worst of the dead-people-resurrected-for-commercials commercials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXWUZ_RSGCQ#t=3m32s

Thanks bosses! And thanks to the 'Gum readers for being so nice to me and my Prog Report column. I'm looking forward to covering the Yeasayer beat from now on.
