Mario Speedwagon’s Under The Radar News Roundup: MF Doom Pulls A Diddy, Mono Release Fifth Studio Album, Nada Surf Reissue LPs On Vinyl, Vetiver Tour For New LP

Happy Friday, everyone! So, I got tagged in one of those Facebook “Notes” where you make some sort of list or fuck with your iTunes and then tag another 25 people, etc. Anyway, this one was kinda hilarious. It was a three-step process involving Wikipedia, Quotations Page, and Flickr to find your band name, album name, and album cover. Mine was…

Dude, I love SHARK WEEK! Anyway, on to the roundup...

- So, MF Doom is now just DOOM. Whatever. His album BORN LIKE THIS (previously titled Born Into This) comes out March 24. Look for it on Lex Records.

- Mono are dropping their fifth album, Hymn To The Immortal Wind, March 24 via Temporary Residence Limited. You can catch them May 8 at The Society For Ethical Culture in New York performing with the Wordless Music Orchestra. Far out.

- On April 14, Nada Surf are reissuing three of their studio albums -- The Proximity Effect, Let Go, and The Weight Is A Gift -- on vinyl. These albums have been individually out of print for a while now, but were available in the fall as a box set (which is now sold-out) with High/Low and their latest, Lucky. It was a pretty heavy box set. Oh, and if you happen to live in New York, you can catch them at the Bell House on April 15.

- Vetiver are hitting the road in support of their first full-length album, Tight Knit (TMT Review). They're currently in Europe, but by the beginning of March, they’ll kick things off in Philadelphia with Sian Alice. Their tour continues until mid-April and includes dates with Larkin Grimm and Richard Swift.
