Buju Banton on bashing gays
I have never bashed any gays before, and if I bashed gays, I bashed them 16 years ago," Banton tells Billboard.com. "There's no tolerance from [the gay community]. I'm not a gay-basher. I'm not a homophobe." [Billboard]
"So which is it? You never bashed gays, or you did it 16 years ago?" [jasmynecannick]
"Neumo's, a music club on Capitol Hill, books artists whose songs at times demean women, dis police or use offensive slurs.....From an artistic perspective, free speech took a big hit, courtesy of a self-appointed cultural mafia that bullied the club into a tight corner." [SeattlePI]

The Futureheads cancel 2006 tour
"British rockers THE FUTUREHEADS have cancelled their upcoming US tour after frontman BARRY HYDE recently came down with tendonitis. The four-piece had been due to kick off their American tour in Seattle, Washington on Wednesday, but Hyde's inflamed left wrist has forced the band to abandon the trek. However, drummer ROSS MILLARD has promised fans The Futureheads will return 'at the next available opportunity'. He says, 'We are deeply sorry, but I guess we have to focus on Barry making progress toward recovery, and only rest will enable that.'" [Contact Music] (thx all)

Joanna Newsom | 2006 Tour Dates (Webster Hall)
JOANNA NEWSOM @ MCCARREN POOL, BROOKLYN | AUG 24, 2006 (CRED - BAO)
It wasn't a good idea to throw little Joanna Newsom and her harp on a giant stage in the middle of a massive, empty, outdoor pool in Brooklyn this summer. She was swallowed up by the open sky, stage, and constant crowd noise. The majority of people were there to see headliner Neko Case, and the crowd was mostly uninterested - especially when Joanna decided to preview her new material: neverending songs that nobody had ever heard before. Don't get me wrong, there was at least a Mercury Lounge's capacity worth of people up front and cheering her every move, but we weren't at Mercury Lounge. Each plane that flew overhead effortlessly stole the show. The surroundings killed the show for me, and I left disappointed.
Then (thanks to Pitchfork?) I heard Joanna's new album Ys and fell in love with those neverending songs (which isn't a surprise since The Milk Eyed Mender was one of my top three albums of 2004). And now I can't wait to hear those longs songs live again - hopefully in a better setting - someplace with seats - or at the at the not-too-big Bowery Ballroom - hopefully not somewhere bigger.....
** 11-13-2006 - New York, NY - Webster Hall (early & late shows on sale)

"With instrumental duties on the album turned over almost exclusively to the band's only real member, James Lavelle, the sounds found on their new slice of shellac are unlike anything we've come to expect. Gone are the soft keyboard tones and rock-solid drum loops found on the Sigur Ros-aided In a Safe Place. In come collaborations with Richard Ashcroft, Mike D, Badly Drawn Boy, and Thom Yorke, amongst others. The album flits from song-to-song, in a schizophrenic but increasingly measured way, culminating in the moody "Bunny in Your Flashers," featuring one of Yorke's most affecting vocals. It certainly puts The Eraser in its place." [Tiny Mix Tapes]

O'Death @ Spiegel, NYC | pics + Tour Dates + mp3
DOWNLOAD: O'Death - Down to Rest (MP3) (more) (buy)
I finally saw next-big-thing O'Death AND went to the Spiegel Tent all in one shot last night! Jeff Heartonastick has been urging me to see O'Death since late May. That's like four years in blog time, especially when the local band plays often enough to keep you constantly reminded of how you're not seeing them. In fact:
O'DEATH | TOUR DATES
Sep 29 2006 - The New Party Club Brooklyn
Oct 3 2006 - Empty Vessel Project Brooklyn, NY
Oct 6 2006 - goodbye-blue-monday brooklyn
Oct 26 2006 - Cake-Shop New York, NY
Oct 27 2006 - The Lake View House Summit, NY
And I've been trying to go to the Spiegel Tent since it opened all the way back in August. It was great, but unfortunnately it's closing in a few days. The free outdoor bar space that's right on the river and open till 4am with music blaring and tons of cool seats is especially nice.
And yes, O'Death were as great as everyone says - like Man Man, but good - JUST KIDDING (about the Man Man part).
The front-man is bizarro world Alec Ounsworth, and hopefully he'll be just as successful (Alec headlines Summerstage with his band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah tonight actually).
The drummer eats babies for breakfast.
The bassist is more metal than Mastodon, well except that he plays Bluegrass.
This banjo player thinks Sufjan is dumb (JUST KIDDING AGAIN).
"A reviewer on CD Baby dubbed their music 'Appalachian apocalypse' and that’s as accurate a label as any." [heartonastick]
"These boys know how to throw a ho down." [ph not v]

Grizzly Bear (& Owen) @ Bowery Ballroom, NYC | pics
DOWNLOAD: On a Neck, On a Spit (MP3)
Grizzly Bear headlined Bowery Ballroom in NYC last night (September 26, 2006).
ED IS THE COOLEST
Tuesday nights suck because my radio show is on Sirius from 10-12. Luckily I can tape earlier in the evening though. So after taping my show from 7-9, and then seeing Rodrigo y Gabriela @ SOB's from 9-10:45 (review coming soon), I was able to get to Bowery Ballroom just in time for Grizzly Bear's 11:00 set. I was exhausted at that point, and the massive amounts of equipment the openers left on the Bowery Ballroom floor (not their fault, I know) left the room more crowded and harder to navigate than it needed to be . Eventually I settled in to a spot though, and the beautiful Beach Boys harmonies coming from the stage helped me relax and find my second wind.
OWEN APPEARS
The nerd that I am, I nearly jumped for joy when Ed said that "Owen" (Final Fantasy) was joining them on stage for a song. Polaris Music Prize winner Owen played his violin and looped - no singing - no Maria Carey - just one song and then he was gone as fast he appeared. Coincidentally (I said I was a nerd) I played the Final Fantasy remix of Grizzly Bear's "Don't Ask" on my radio show that was broadcasting simultaneously with the concert.
Partial Sirius Playlist - 09/26/2006
2) Metric - Police and the Private
3) Final Fantasy - This Lamb Sells Condos
4) Grizzly Bear - Don't Ask (Final Fantasy Remix)
5) Xiu Xiu - Clowne Towne
Grizzly Bear broke a bass string right before the last song. After quickly fixing the problem, they closed with On a Neck, On a Spit which the highlight of the show for me. I was hoping for an encore, but we got none. I wouldn't say there was a low point in the show, but someone I talked to wasn't particulary a fan of "Colorado". They played a rockin' new-new song too.
Go see Grizzly Bear, mostly with TV on the Radio.
And download the MP3s from their recent KEXP session.

SUNSET RUBDOWN @ BOWERY BALLROOM, NYC | SEP 24, 2006 (CRED)
"The first half of the set was out of control amazing. I was waiting for an ebb in the flow but the energy kept building and the ebb never materialized. The band played pretty much everything off of Shut Up I Am Dreaming, as well as an 'old song, re-worked' according to Krug...." [Angry Citizen]

Microsoft to stream concerts & be like YouTube
"MSN, Microsoft Corp.'s Web portal, said on Tuesday it will make a big push to stream live concerts to its users after signing an exclusive global partnership with Control Room, the company behind the web broadcast of last year's Live 8 event." [Yahoo News]
"In launching Soapbox, Microsoft has its eye on the success of YouTube, which from January to June grew 297 percent to a monthly unique audience of 19.6 million, according to Nielsen/NetRatings. Key to YouTube's success has been the ability for registered users to upload video and share it with friends." [Information Week]

Best album of the year-so-far - the results (2006)
This is completely unscientific. About 1/3 of the entries for "best album of the year-so-far" came from people entering to win tickets to Jamie Lidell at Irving Plaza tonight. Another third came from those seeking a copy of Jenny Lewis on DVD, and the final third were semi-random people asked directly, via email, by me last night.
And the people's choice award for best album goes to....
1st place: TV on the Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain
2nd place: M Ward - Post War
3rd place (a tie): Cat Power - The Greatest & The Rapture - Pieces of People We Love
Amazingly, 106 different albums were named. Destroyer, Liars, Sunset Rubdown, Beirut, and Girl Talk tied for fourth.

DOWNLOAD: The Big Sleep - You Can't Touch the Untouchable (MP3)
THE BIG SLEEP @ ML, NYC | SEP 21, 2006 (CRED)
The Big Sleep completely rocked their record-release party at Mercury Lounge in NYC Thursday night (September 21, 2006). Thx to Jinners for the above pic because I didn't take any. The place was filled with fans, friends and family (Danny mentioned his sister came in from Boston just for the show), and the band continues to impress even the most cynical - like my companion who was heard saying after the show, "that was one of the best shows I ever saw at Mercury Lounge".
The Big Sleep's next show is also the next Gothamist Movable Hype and it's this Wednesday (Sept 27, 2006) and it's also one of the last shows at the strange Spiegeltent (that I never made it to once) and it's also with Heartonastick's favorite band O'Death and with the Occasion and with The Rogers Sisters. Last time I saw the Rogers Sisters they were opening for Sleater Kinney at Webster Hall and they were pretty good. Pics from that show below....

(I thought) Cibelle was so, so good - I guess you could call her an "amazing talent", I loved (almost) every minute of the early show at Joe's Pub on Friday (September 22, 2006) - it's no surprise that she was an actress - she handles the stage like a pro, and I would have been happy to stay for the late show and/or to have seen her again the next day at Mercury Lounge if I could have.
David Byrne must have been at the late show.
Stay tuned for a BV interview coming soon.

Klaxons @ Club Midway, NYC | pics
Klaxons - dance-rock for the kids - definitely much better live than what's on record so far. Lots of energy, stage presence, etc.. Crackers United says "They whipped the jam-packed scenester crowd (but not like the annoying crowd you find hanging outside of Don Hill’s on a Saturday nite) into a dancing frenzing."
This show was at Club Midway in Manhattan - September 19, 2006. It's where I went after Flipper. Two nights later they played Studio B with Soulwax.

4AD announces "Plague Songs"
10 songs – 10 plagues - 10 artists - release date - November 7th, 2006 – 4AD
"Featuring contributions from Scott Walker, Rufus Wainwright, Brian Eno, Robert Wyatt, Stephin Merritt, Laurie Anderson, Imogen Heap and more."
"This fascinating, unsettling and unique project comes down to one simple idea: a collection of songs based on the ten Biblical plagues that take place in the book of Exodus.
A simple idea, but a complicated story - these songs were originally commissioned by a British arts organization called Artangel to form part of a large-scale public art event. Titled “The Margate Exodus” (http://www.margateexodus.org.uk/) the event took place in September 2006; it transformed a dilapidated seaside town on the North Kent Coast of England into the setting for a vibrant modern recreation of the Israelites' flight from Egypt. During the event, the 10 "Plague Songs" were performed by local singers and musicians; together, the festivities formed part of a feature film which is to be broadcast and screened in 2007.
The 4AD release gathers together the 10 original recordings, presented in Biblical plague order. It moves from the scattershot, street-level drama of Klashnekoff's "Blood" through to the tender lament for a real-life "Death Of The Firstborn" written by Rufus Wainwright. On the way, there's the sublime hover of Brian Eno & Robert Wyatt's "Flies", the cracked, surreal sparseness of The Tiger Lillies "Hailstones", and Laurie Anderson's grave, shadowy meditation on the Death Of Livestock. Imogen Heap's "Glittering Clouds" is a soaring pop song driven along by locust samples, while Scott Walker's "Darkness" (what else?) is simply astonishing - a driven and almost completely a capella call-and-response which will raise the hairs on the back of your neck.
All ten tracks are exclusive to this release; and despite their various soundworlds and approaches they form a surprisingly coherent and convincing whole. Plague Songs will be out in the US via 4AD on November 7th, 2006."
Tracklisting :
1. "Blood" Klashnekoff (The Plague Of Blood)
2. "Relate the Tale" King Creosote (The Plague Of Frogs)
3. "The Meaning of Lice" Stephin Merritt (The Plague Of Lice)
4. "Flies" Brian Eno & Robert Wyatt (The Plague Of Flies)
5. "The Fifth Plague" Laurie Anderson (The Death Of Livestock)
6. "Boils" Cody ChesnuTT (The Plague Of Boils)
7. "Hailstones" The Tiger Lillies (The Plague Of Hail)
8. "Glittering Cloud" Imogen Heap (The Plague Of Locusts)
9. "Darkness" Scott Walker (The Plague Of Darkness)
10. "Katonah" Rufus Wainwright (The Death Of The Firstborn)
