I know Neil first mentioned the Raconteurs. Now I am excited. Hit their website for two songs (very War Games like kudos.) In case you are not up to speed. The Raconteurs are Jack of the White Stripes and Brendan of Brendan Benson. Album of the year? Maybe.
Is Indie Music dead? The majors no longer want to develop bands so they let the indie labels bring them up and the Majors come in after that. See the Death Cab for Cutie story. I don't think indie has died.
Robert Randolph doing his best Santana with an allstar guest list on his next album. This should be a killer.
Press Release reports:
ATO Records will release the forthcoming full-length album How We Operate from prodigious British rock band Gomez this May. How We Operate marks the quintet’s seventh album and is the first studio release for ATO records, following last summer’s two-disc live set Out West.
How We Operate finds the band not only working with the support of a new label but also with producer Gil Norton (Pixies, Foo Fighters). For the five members in Gomez - Ben Ottewell (vocals, guitar), Tom Gray (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Ian Ball (vocals, guitar, harmonica) Paul Blackburn (bass, guitar), Olly Peacock (drums) – the recording process tends to unfold in the studio and incorporates each of its members equally in writing, producing and playing their music. On How We Operate, the band approached this process in an entirely different way. Please Please Please be awesome. I don't doubt them but since I love Gomez there is always too much buildup in my brain so...we will see. Can't wait for May.
Press Release reports:
You can view the second video from Directions, “Soul Meets Body”, directed by video director Cat Solen (Bright Eyes, Cake), on the band's website this week.
A new video from the collection will be unveiled on the band’s site each week prior to the DVD release of “DIRECTIONS” on April 11th.
Gigwise reports:
Shock rocker Marilyn Manson is set to take up the role of Lewis Carroll in a new movie about the writer’s life according to reports.
Manson, who hopes to direct the film he wrote himself, will play the 'Alice In Wonderland' author in the film entitled ‘Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll’ Screen International reports. This could be great or like a train wreck that you have to slow down and look at. By the way people stop doing that when I am late for work (which is every day).

Title is from Emiliana Torrini's "Heartstopper". Think of her as a normal serene Bjork. This was a top 20 cd of mine. Think of this cd as the perfect Sunday Morning cd.
