Karl Blau to Tour Europe, Maybe Play Magic: The Gathering
By The Creepster Network on Feb 2 2010
Tenured Anacortian Karl Blau is hitting the European thoroughfares this spring, including three dates with two-step, funk-bass-swillin’, horn-totin’ K Records labelmates Lake and one with Brit bro Maps. As of publishing, Karl was not able to verify if he will actually play the popular collectible card game. We have managed to confirm one thing, though: his ponytails are sweet.

Tortoise Announce Dates for Winter Tour
By Deno on Feb 2 2010
Post-rock heavyweights Tortoise are “coming out of their shell” for their first tour of the new decade! Supporting their latest release, Beacons of Ancestorship, the group aims to break fresh ground in an aging genre and continue making impossibly accessible avant-garde. With shows that typically see each member flexing their chops on at least two instruments, with six albums worth of material in the archives, there should be some surprises for both newcomers and the Tortoise faithful alike. Fellow Chicago locals Disappears will be joining them for the ride, and the final date in the Windy City will feature a performance by Robert A.A. Lowe.

Snoop Dogg Signs Cypress Hill to Priority Records; First Step in Planned Arthurian-Roundtable of Hip-Hop Megastars Tasked with Defending the Realm of Def
By Kid Midnight on Feb 2 2010
Snoop Doggy Dogg, known worldwide as the inventor of the West Coast, was, as you already know, recently named as “Creative Chairman” of Priority Records. What this fancy title infers is that Doggy gets the resources to further whatever musical agenda he wants (as long as it makes cash for Priority). Snoop, always a man with an agenda, has decided to form a roundtable of “Hip Hop Knights” tasked with “guarding the Eternal Throne of His Highness, The Flyest, The Dopest, The King Of Hip Hop.” Snoop’s hand-picked first recruits were recently announced as hip-hop legends Cypress Hill.
“Cypress Hill is undeniably one of the most important hip hop groups in music history,” Snoop stated after announcing the newly-signed exclusive worldwide deal. “Not only are they incredibly talented and the first Latino hip hop group to go platinum, they are also from the west coast (and can totally strike down any heathen with one swing of a broad-sword) so this signing is the perfect marriage,” Snoop elaborated.
Cypress Hill will release on April 6 a new album through Priority Records, Rise Up, the band’s first in six years.
