Naomi Greenwald has a new cover of Rihanna’s Stay. You can check it out and download it below. Interesting take on the song (I confess to being less familiar with Rihanna than many).

Sly & The Family Stone are getting the box-set treatment. Higher!, a four CD box set, comes out August 27, 2013 on Epic/Legacy. The set is coming out in celebration of Sly Stone’s 70th birthday and is the first career-long anthology of the man and the band. It comes with a 100+ page booklet and 77 songs ( 17 of which have never been previously released. There are also all sorts of other extras in the set. This is a history lesson as well as a great collection of music. Notes to Self is set to release their latest LP, Target Market, on June 11, 2013. The Toronto rap outfit (including rappers Swamp Donkey and Roshin as well as DJ Dopey and producer Bronze One) first appeared in 2009 with the LP A Shot In The Dark. The new LP has a slew of collaborators as well. For more information (and news on a tour) head to www.notestoself.net. Mike Marlin releases a new LP, Grand Reveal, today. He also has a new video out for the track, The Murderer. You can hear the latter below. Marlin is touring the USA--for the first time--with The Stranglers. Dates for the tour are below. In Chicago, The Cobra lounge was offering cheap tickets for the show--like $3. This deserves mention because it seems like venues are charging $8 for local bands these days (or more). And then people wonder why music fans are not out seeing music in droves every night of the week? Check out the video and get to The Stranglers show early to check out Marlin. Tour

These bands, which were apparently real, are from the Detroit area. First there is a single from Rockfire Funk Express, a band that recorded a single in 1973 at United Sound Systems. The two tracks were: People Save the World and Rockfire Funk Express. Both songs have sat in a vault somewhere for 40 years. The band morped into --until Death. The rest is history…the history of punk according to the release…except no punks ever heard the songs. Nonetheless? Interesting ! But it HERE. The other release--Tangmania—also rumored to have never really existed is by The Underwear Heads. Apparently the band included John Crenshaw (brother of Marshall Crenshaw). Also, according to the release, the six song EP was pressed for release on vinyl but all the copies were defective. This is the first actual release. Buy it HERE. I have no idea as to the veracity of the origins of these releases. It could all be bullshit for all I know. Nonetheless both come out May 28, 2013. Buy a bundle of both releases HERE. Boards of Canada have a new video for their song, Reach for the Dead, out now. You can check it out below. The song is off the group’s new LP, Tomorrow’s Harvest, which comes out June 11, 2013. The video…or film..is by Neil Krug. Be sure to look for more from Boards of Canada soon. Interesting group. The CBGB Music & Film Festival is a five day festival and conference taking place from October 9 to 13, 2013. It takes place at a variety of venues in Brooklyn and Manhattan. The conference and film festivals will take place at The Landmark Sunshine Theater on East Houston Street. The festival will showcase music, film, art social awareness and the workshops will be entertainment industry oriented. 40 or so new movies will be premiered etc. There are four different levels of tickets. You can find out more HERE. I have no idea what this has to do with CBGBs. |
