McPhun, Phun, Phun in the Sun! Ruby Suns Venture to North America for a Dodo of a Tour
The great Irish band A House had it right with the title track from their classic I Am the Greatest album. In it, the band rants about the "small music dictatorship" and loss of the individual, how most people "wouldn't recognize a new idea if it spat in their face and screamed out," how the music industry reers "big-mouthed rock stars with opinions on everything and answers to nothing" and society reveres "bandwagons full of bands with sycophantic fans with no lives of their own". A House was expounding the truth back in 1991 but the track is a sign of all times, including ours right now and our childrens' in the future.
Indeed, the more things change, the more they stay the same, so thank gawd for alternatives and exceptions, even in the most orderly and predictable music realm of pop. For instance, you won't find New Zealand adventure seekers Ruby Suns in your "Indie Rock for Dummies" and you will certainly not see them "pouncing on any third rate trend, milking it to death, once again putting money where the music is not." Revolutionary pop music is a true rarity, and although the Ryan McPhun-led trio didn't exactly change the world with their last record, Sea Lion (TMT Review) was like a fresh shovel to the head on a cold winter's day for forward-thinking pop fans.
While some new material would be better than a really good biscuit, North American folk will have to make do with the feel-good live pairing of The Ruby Suns with San Francisco's thoughtful folk-pop darlings The Dodos for a bunch of dates starting this weekend in California.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Ready Triple-Disc DVD/CD Set, Evoking Fond Memories of The Effects of 333
On September 21, a young gentleman with the username “Harry” left a message on Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s MySpace page, which read: “If The Beatles still made music it would sound like this. Keep it up.” You mean the current Beatles lineup of Paul and Ringo would make mid-'80s Jesus and Mary Chain-style music if they got back together? Or maybe latter-BRMC Americana? Does Ringo look good in a black leather jacket? This “Harry” character really took my head for a spin, and I think he has no idea what he’s talking about.
Regardless, there are some developments in the BRMC camp. Years removed from the hangover of hyperbolic praise from the NME, and barely removed from their universally-panned instrumental album The Effects of 333, BRMC has teamed up with Vagrant to release a 3-disc DVD/CD set. The DVD features live performances from shows in Dublin, Glasgow, and Berlin while supporting their fourth studio album, Baby 81 (TMT Review). The bonus DVD captures “intimate, behind-the-scenes footage” (whatever that means), while the CD has live recordings from the aforementioned concerts. The whole package will be available on November 10.
BRMC are currently putting the final touches on their fifth studio album at The Station House studio in Hollywood. In the meantime, you can download a remix of “Not What You Wanted” off their website, or wait until October 20, when a new song entitled “Done All Wrong” will be featured on the upcoming New Moon soundtrack.
Ted Leo Runs With the Bulls and Signs to Matador Records
I’m sorry, was that “runs with the bulls” joke too obvious? Did it make you chuckle? Or groan? Did it make you think that Mr. Leo signed with the NBA team in hopes of topping Michael Jordan’s legacy? In any case, you should be happy that Ted Leo, and his talented Pharmacists, has found a new home for their music.
Having already issued several releases for Lookout and Touch and Go, Ted Leo is set to release his next album on Matador, hoping the label won't breach his contract over unpaid royalties or drastically downsize due to the economy. Ahem... Anyway: he's recording the new album at Brooklyn’s Seaside Lounge and plans to release it sometime in 2010, and I can't wait!
In other news, Ted Leo is actually scheduled to participate in Pamplona's annual running with the bulls event/festival.
No, not really.
Grab Onto Something and Hold on Tight 'Cause Kill Rock Stars Are Ready to Drop a Deuce! New Thao and Shaky Hands Albums Coming Quick!
5 dynamic duos:
- Batman and Robin
- Ace and Gary, The Ambiguously Gay Duo
- Steak 'n' eggs
- (Tie) Thelma and Louise, Riggs and Murtaugh
- Hall and Oates
5 not-so-dynamic duos:
- Batman and Robin (c'mon, watching George Clooney or Chris O' Donnell on their own is enough to induce fever and vomiting... but together? You'd be happier blowing a hole in your skull)
- Ace Frehley and Gary Coleman, The Ambiguously Odd Couple (on second thought, that might be the best duo ever)
- Ass 'n' eggs (sounds good but it is not)
- (Tie) Wayne and Garth, whatever characters Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker play in Rush Hour and its seven sequels
- Jobs and Wozniak (as bad as it sounds)
Conspicuously absent from either list are Thao and The Shaky Hands. Granted, they are rarely paired together for convenience, nor does one think of one when the other is mentioned, but both acts can entertain the hell out of the most miserly of curmudgeons, both record on the label that kills the most rock stars (Kill Rock Stars), both have new albums coming out soon, and both have announced large-scale tours! When you add the idea that they both may have eaten octopus in their lives and the fact that they are both parts of the human race, then, for the purpose of this fascinating news story, The Shaky Hands and Thao are the most dynamic duo you will ever hear!
The first record up is Let It Die from supercharged Portland quartet Shaky Hands. Sure, The Shaky Hands are always a rocktastic affair but Let It Die sees the band in a mature, rather inspired form. Hear for yourself on September 29 but, whatever you do, don't let this tracklist die:
1. Let It Die
2. Never Fine
3. Slip Away
4. Love Curse
5. All You Recall
6. Caught in the Storm
7. Don't Fail Me Now
8. Already Gone
9. Gonna Hold You Tonight
10. Allison and the Ancient Eyes
11. Leave It All
Thao Nguyen has been a busy and brave bee, playing with the Get Down Stay Down plus recording The Thao & Justin Power Sessions album with Portland Cello Project (also on KRS). On October 13, it is with the Get Down Stay Down that Thao will release her new album, Know Better Learn Faster. Know these tracks better; learn them faster:
1. The Clap
2. Cool Yourself
3. When We Swam
4. Know Better Learn Faster
5. Body
6. The Give
7. Good Bye Good Luck
8. Trouble Was For
9. Oh. No
10. Fixed It!
11. Burn You Up
12. But What of the Strangers
13. Easy

Merge to Reissue Neutral Milk Hotel Albums on 180-gram Vinyl
I love taking advantage of the fact that every Neutral Milk Hotel fan is secretly waiting for a new NMH album, even though each one of 'em knows that Jeff Mangum is as reclusive as a Sasquatch and that hoping for a new long-player from these particular Elephant Sixers is as futile as hoping for the Second Coming. However, despite that futility, and, if you’re like me, you pacify your desire for new Neutral Milk Hotel material by routinely buying a new copy of In The Aeroplane Over The Sea every six months, pretending that it’s the first time you ever heard it. I know you do it!
If you are like me, then I’ve got some good news, because at least now you can get a somewhat new album by the band. “How Kid Midnight?” Well, Merge Records has announced that it will be reissuing both In The Aeroplane Over The Sea and On Avery Island on vinyl. Both albums will be available on November 3 and, even though no bonus material will be included, the albums will be pressed on 180 gram vinyl for the first time and will come with a coupon for a free download!
If that’s not good enough for you... well... have fun waiting for the reunion concert.
Guy Hands Says Terra Firma Might Have “Paid Too Much” to Rescue EMI
Umm, are we to take it those new Beatles records aren’t reaching their “earning potential”??
Nice, soft, pillowy TMT punchline Guy Hands and his whacky-yet-lovable British private equity firm Terra Firma (that’s “solid ground,” don’t you know) Capital Partners Ltd have certainly been hard at work improving the bottom line of ill-famed, ill-fated, sloppy eater, messy houseguest, gassy sleeper, and crumbling worldwide music conglomerate EMI. But hey, to borrow a phrase from EMI’s own hallowed catalogue, just because you’re “fixin’ a hole where the rain gets in” doesn’t mean that you don’t still have a serious fucking termite problem to figure out.
In other words, there’s still a whole mess of problems over there, as evidenced by Guy’s very decorous but still pretty unmistakably Eggs Benedict-on-face statement that Terra Firma might have “paid too much money” for the lead-lined ocean liner of such stars as The Beatles and Coldplay. The ailing music group accounted for the vast majority of Terra Firma's $1.96 billion writedowns this year and Terra Firma was forced to inject extra capital into EMI twice in just six months (including a $46 million “injection” this past May to keep the company within the terms of its debt agreements. Ouch. Sounds painful.)
Hands, currently the Chief Investment Officer, said that Terra Firma has certainly succeeded thus far in boosting the earnings at EMI‘s recorded music division to about 160 million pounds ($263 million) last year from around $82 million when they first purchased ‘er in 2007. But he nevertheless admitted during his speech at a Dow Jones private equity conference on Thursday that “if the EMI auction started two weeks later, it wouldn’t have occurred. We wouldn’t have bought it. We’d have 90 percent of our funds still to invest and we’d look like geniuses.” Damn hell-ass geniuses, Guy.
Two weeks later? No, Hands isn’t just being a Grizzly Bear fan. See, Terra Firma flew its ill-fated $6.5 billion buyout of the tale-spinning, nose-diving EMI at the height of the buyout boom, a.k.a. right before that credit crunch thing. Regret city. Solid ground? Here we come.
Members of Radiohead Keep Doin’ Stuff: "Ed O’Brien Delivers a Speech" Edition
A member of Radiohead, the band that just keeps giving, is once again doing something notable. While vocalist Thom Yorke is busy trying to convince you to go green, and Jonny Greenwood is personally spaying and neutering listeners’ pets*, guitarist Ed O’Brien is quietly preparing to deliver the keynote address January 23 at MidemNet, the digital music business conference in Cannes. O’Brien is a board member of the Featured Artists Coalition and will be speaking about Radiohead’s online efforts, along with different possibilities for building the artist/fan relationship in this computer age.
Also speaking will be Michael Gudinski, founder of the Australian Mushroom Group of Companies. His Mushroom Records is the largest independent in Australia and is perhaps most famous for signing pop superstar/Nick Cave collaborator Kylie Minogue.
* Not true. Don’t sue!
RIP: Trevor Rhone, Co-Writer of The Harder They Come Film
From The New York Times (via The Daily Swarm):
Trevor Rhone, the award-winning Jamaican playwright, director and actor who brought his island’s culture to the world as a writer of the groundbreaking film “The Harder They Come,” died on Tuesday in Kingston, Jamaica, where he lived. He was 69.The cause was apparently a heart attack, his wife, Camella, said.
Renowned throughout the Caribbean for plays like “Smile Orange” and “Old Story Time,” Mr. Rhone helped pioneer Jamaica’s indigenous theater, bringing pitch-perfect dialect and character studies to the local stage.

Expect Sweat, Crack, and Maybe a Boner: Har Mar Superstar Announces Tour
Ever since I was a little boy, I've had the same dream. And yet, at my current age, I can still only recall bits and pieces of this recurring vision. The single image that stands out, fully visualized, is of course the most mystifying: I’m in a dark bar, neon lights glowing brightly, the sound of laughter and the clink of glasses filling my ears. Lights suddenly illuminate a small stage, and the audible pop of a microphone being inserted into an amp shocks me into awareness. My eyes remain fixated on the stage.
A man enters the spotlight; his skin is covered in thick, sweaty hair, barely covered by clothes. He gazes voluptuously and eagerly into the crowd, giving us all a quick glance. The music starts, slow and populated by bass notes, smooth like silk and as bracingly refreshing as an ice-cold shower in the middle of a Minnesota winter. His hips begin to gyrate and he slides across the stage, brushing my cheek with his index finger. Whatever clothes remain quickly find their place on the stage floor, and right before his engorged member is removed from the too-tight and bright purple undies... I wake up.
Now, I know that you could find a bounty of subliminal thoughts and desires attempting to make themselves known, but all I know for certain is that my dreams want me to go see Har Mar Superstar. Which is convenient, because he actually just announced a fall tour! Hot on the heels of the announcement of a new album, Har Mar has just now supplied us with details on the whereabouts and times for a bevy of shows.
Hey, don’t leave yet! The deluge of HMS news doesn’t stop there. Mr. Superstar also has a video for “Tall Boy” (a song that Har Mar wrote for Britney Spears) coming out soon that is directed by and featuring Eric Wareheim (of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!). Wareheim provided a little insight into the project: “Every night I was falling asleep I would pray to Zeus, ‘Please let me be slimed by Har Mar. Please let his tasty blue jizzism engulf my face.’ As you can see, my fantasy became a reality on this shoot.” Looking forward to it.

Never Mind The Beatles, Here’s Neon Indian! And They Even Have a New Record and a Tour, Technically Giving Them a Slight Relevancy Edge, Don’t You Think?
So who the heck are Neon Indian? Well, as a music writer -- excuse me, I mean, a Music Writer -- it’s my job to inform you. So... let's seeeee heeeeereee... Brooklynites? Maybe, sure. Racists? Possibly, controversy’s always good. An “elusive new project from composer Alan Palomo [that] delivers equal parts synthetic nostalgia, dreampop lullabies, and grinding guitar noise to create something eerier than the sound of its parts?" Definitely.
Well, whoever the heck they are, they’ve finished a debut full-length, sort-of hilariously titled Psychic Chasms, slated for release on October 13 via the good ol' Lefse label. You may remember Lefse from such classic records as... well, whatever. Press is press, right everyone? What do you say I just cherry-pick some more qualitative such-n-suchs from the press release and go get some lunch? Okay. Deal.
So yeah, written largely in one sitting in Texas, this bag o’ tracks resulted from “field recordings, record samples, and a collection of bizarre synth sounds.” Hinging on themes of drug-induced heartbreak, weary afternoons, and lost chances, these tunes “provide a lush soundtrack to the deadbeat exploits of teenage ennui.” But just in case all of this is sounding a little bit too much like The Postal Service or something, peep the fact that Neon Indian are hitting the road alongside some visual high-wire acts from video artist (and band member) Alicia Scardetta, transforming this first tour into a briskly alliterative, uh, “multimedia maelstrom.” Actually, did The Postal Service ever do that? They never toured at all, did they? I mean, I don’t listen to much music, I just write about it from a holier-than-thou perspective for a living. Oh. Whoops. I mean. Who wants to see some nice, neat tourdates?? Yeah.
Psychic Chasms tracklisting:
1. (AM)
2. Deadbeat Summer
3. Laughing Gas
4. Terminally Chill
5. (If I Knew, I'd Tell You)
6. 6669 (I Don't Know If You Know)

Awkwardly Bounce with Me Now: Max Tundra Announces U.S. Tour
Y’all ready to get your stilted groove on? Well, y’all best be, because electronic pop perfectionist Max Tundra is hitting up the U.S. this November. Mr. Tundra (a.k.a. Ben Jacobs) is touring behind last year’s Parallax Error Beheads You (TMT Review), a record that inspires only the highest-quality awkward dance moves. I’ve got this one move where I frantically raise and lower my arms, while desperately attempting to keep a solid rhythm. I’m telling you, this move is sick.
Hanging out with Tundra in November will be Detroit's Deastro (a.k.a. Randy Chabot), whose brand of electro-pop is a little less frantic and awkward. His newest record Moondagger (TMT Review) apparently concerns a dream he had about a magical kingdom and the search for a “moondagger.” Basically, pretty good company for Max Tundra
