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”

Brian Eno ceases the vicious rumor cycle by confirming that he is working on the new Coldplay album
By E. Nagurney on Mar 2 2010
Thing #1: “Hey, Thing #2! You hear that Brian Eno is working on the new Coldplay album?”
Thing #2: “No, he’s not. You, Mr. #1, are clearly crazy.”
#1: “No, it’s true! He is totally working on a new Coldplay album!”
#2: “No, he’s not!”
#1: “Yes, he is!”
#2: “NO. HE’S. NOT.”
#1: “YES. HE. IS.”
Brian Eno: “Hi, Thing #1. Hi, Thing #2. It is I, Brian Eno, recording industry superstar. #1 over here is right, I am working on the new Coldplay album, which they are going to start recording very soon.”
#2: “Oh. Okay.”

Abe Vigoda pull out their Paul Simon records and Izod cardigans in preparation for tour with Vampire Weekend
By Jon Lorenz on Mar 2 2010
While my local record store has been having a problem keeping up with all the kids wanting Vampire Weekend records, they’ve also been having a problem with customers putting Paul Simon’s Graceland in the Vampire Weekend section. Seriously, who would do such a thing? Damn kids! They think they’re so smart calling out Vampire Weekend on their influences.
Anywho, Vampire Weekend is going on tour almost every day for the next five years, and for part of their busy schedule they are doing a US tour with LA-based Smell staples Abe Vigoda. So enough about Vampire Weekend; let’s talk about Abe Vigoda! The group will be hopping aboard the Vampire train starting March 22 in Minneapolis, just after they do a short stint with Lovvers. They’ll be premiering brand new songs from their as-yet-untitled follow-up to last year’s Reviver EP, which is set to be released by Post Present Medium sometime this summer. If you mosey on over to their MySpace, you can check out a demo of their new song, titled “Crush.”
Now, before I show you the dates and you get all excited that Abe Vigoda is playing in your city, let me just go ahead and warn you: nearly every show is already sold out. Sorry, maybe next time!
