Break out your black t-shirts: Caspian announce US tour with Red Sparowes
By Annapocalypse on Mar 3 2010
If you look like this, you are probably freaking out (and by freaking out, I mean contemplating deeply while listening to some Mogwai) that Caspian and Red Sparowes are touring together this spring.

Today was a good day, I didn’t even have to use my AK: Ice Cube to headline 2010 Paid Dues Festival alongside Raekwon, Murs, 9th Wonder
By Kid Midnight on Mar 3 2010
San Bernardino is heading back to the big leagues! Well, not really… but the 2010 Paid Dues Festival is going to be in ol’ San Berdoo, and they’ve announced their lineup of acts. Ice Cube, the legendary “gangsta” rapper, former (jheri-curled) member of N.W.A. and star of modern classics Are We There Yet? and Friday After Next, has been announced as the headliner. The fifth-annual celebration will be held at the Nos Events Center in San Berdoo on April 3, a Saturday.
Other acts announced to play include Murs and 9th Wonder, Tech N9ne and Raekwon, Tha Dogg Pound, Del The Funky Homosapien, Freeway and Jake One, Dilated Peoples, and plenty more. Further information is available… HERE!

Cinematic Orchestra to release latest in Late Night Tales series
By Aaron Norman on Mar 2 2010
The Cinematic Orchestra are next in line to release their own Late Night Tales mix, which will debut March 30 — the first Late Night release of 2010 and 24th overall in the ongoing series. The idea behind the Late Night mixes is to showcase songs and artists who influenced the featured artist or DJ; while the tracks chosen are usually varied in style and age, they often have a common thread — just as any good mix tape should — and often end with a story or spoken-word performance.
Among the elite Late Night alumni are The Flaming Lips, Nightmares on Wax, Four Tet, (TMT favorite) Jamiroquai, Arctic Monkeys, Air, and, most recently, Snow Patrol.
Tracklisting:
01. Flying Lotus, “Anties Harp”
02. Nick Drake, “Three Hours”
03. Eddie Gale, “The Rain”
04. Terry Callier, “You Goin’ Miss Your Candyman”
05. The Freedom Sounds (feat. Wayne Henderson), “Behold The Day”
06. DJ Food, “Living Beats”
07. Shuggie Otis, “Aht Uh Mi Hed”
08. Thom Yorke, “Black Swan”
09. The Cinematic Orchestra, “Restaurant”
10. Steve Reich, “Electric Counterpoint”
11. Björk, “Jóga”
12. Imogen Heap, “Cumulus”
13. St. Germain, “Rose Rouge”
14. Songstress, “Sea Line Woman”
15. Sébastien Tellier, “La Ritournelle”
16. Burial, “Dog Shelter”
17. Burt Bacharach, “South American Getaway”
18. The Cinematic Orchestra (feat. Fontella Bass), “Talking About Freedom”
19. Will Self, “The Happy Detective, Part 3”
