tUnE-YarDs new MP3 "Bizness"

I saw the band name over and over through out the years but somehow I always thought it was a mix tape project or something and sadly missed checking out this amazing band. During a recent interview with Yuka Honda she was describing her favorite new music and I was very intrigued. So here is the new song from tUnE-YarDs called "Bizness." I also check out the prior record Birds-Brains and am excited to catch up while we wait for the new full length w ho k i l l, to drop on April 18 via 4AD.

Lyrics for "Take Good Care of My Love"

From one shore you can't see another.

Take good care of my love.
Keep her safe in your glove.
Keep her riding with you.

Show her face from above.
Oh take good care my love.
Oh well take good care of my love.

Tell her she's a magic show!
Tell her that she's all you know!
Tell her that her light says "Go"!
Tell her that she'll always know.

Take good care of my love.
Keep her safe in your glove.
Keep her riding with you.
Take whats left when she's through.

Tell her she's a magic show!
Tell her that she's all you know!
Tell her that her light says "Go"!
Tell her that she'll always know.
Tell her she's a magic seed!
Tell her that she's all you need.
Tell her that her light says "Go"!
Tell her so.
Tell her so.

New Music - Dirty Beaches

I have been falling for bands left band left and right in 2011. Its been a good year so far in music, but I haven't been completely floored by an artist for quite some time. From the first few seconds of hearing Dirty Beaches music I was hooked. The Montreal based artist Alex Zhang Hungtai plays under the name Dirty Beaches and has a new album coming out March 29th entitled Badlands released by Zoo Music. Alex is a one man band who sings and plays very cinematic lo-fi sounds using guitar, loops and samples. I have an advance of his upcoming release on heavy rotation and I was even more excited to discover he has been releasing tons of albums, EP's and cassettes for some years now. He has a rather large arsenal of releases on many different labels. His newer music reminds brings to mind qualities of Elvis singing to a low BPM David Lynch soundtrack with a heavy rockabilly sound mashed very dark tones reminiscent of the New York band Suicide. Check out his song below and be sure to catch a date on his upcoming tour with Dum Dum Girls. He also has a vey limited edition single to be released via Soft Power records of a Johnny Cash cover. Grab a copy here.

Interpol/School of Seven Bells, 02/04 @ UC Santa Barbara

The night's festivities were at the UC Santa Barbara event center. The musicians passing through this small beach town were Interpol & School of Seven Bells. This, an unlikely paring between bands and venues, considering having seen the place with the lights on. Happily enough, the artists/promoter turned what would on any normal day be a gymnasium into a concert theater venue, minus the walls....

On stage first was School of Seven Bells (SVIIB). Having honed down their line-up to a twosome, they were in good form and presented a more compelling performance than in the past. The duo now is composed of Alejandra Deheza (vocals & guitar) & Benjamin Curtis (guitars & various electronics & programming), accompanied by live drums.

Angelic vocals laced with swirling guitars & a rhythmic back-beat, were their calling card for this early February night. Playing songs from their latest release "Disconnect From Desire" such as "My Cabal" and the underground hit "Dust Devil", SVIIV kept the audience's attention (even the stray university party-people). I thought this would seem unlikely, but the dark & programmably danceable beats seemed infectious to all on the packed floor.

They played nearly an entire angelic-expressive album's worth of tunes; ending the set with a double-dose of electronic danceable noise, all rolled into one. "Sempiternal/Amaranth" started off as a tribal-style drumming interlude, and ended the set as a swirling wall of noise...

Following a brief intermission, the night's headliner had arrived...

Taking the darkened stage with characteristic style, Interpol launched into the aptly titled "Success,"from their fourth album, a self titled release. Specifically, Paul Banks (guitarist/vocalist) has truly seemed to take the reins as front-man of the group, possessing noticeable amounts more charisma than in previous years. Not sure if the quality of the show had anything to do with Carlos Dengler (former bassist) having moved on to greener pastures; or that Daniel Kessler (guitar) & Greg Drudy (drums), all played flawlessly.

Following up with "C'mere" and "The Heinrich Maneuver" Interpol moved into playing selections from all four of their albums - a set which seemed to capture the essence of the band. Their latest incarnation seemed to break the last vestiges of any Goth stereotypes, seeming to move into the more mature territory of dark and sophisticated rock.

High-points included intense renditions of "The New" and "Mammoth" and culminated with a moving performance of 2004's "Slow Hands." With a fog-machine thick atmosphere, the impressively sparse lighting helped create the night's illusionary concert theater.

They led the encore with "The Lighthouse," as the audience stammered for more of the impressive audio and visual stimuli. Wrapping up the evening with "Not Even Jail," Interpol proved that even in a beach-town, their show was the best place to be that Friday night in Southern California...

The Whites Stripes call it quits

Their website reads: "The White Stripes would like to announce that today, February 2nd, 2011, their band has officially ended and will make no further new recordings or perform live.

The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in good health.

It is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve What is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way.

Meg and Jack want to thank every one of their fans and admirers for the incredible support they have given throughout the 13 plus years of the White Stripes’ intense and incredible career.

Third Man Records will continue to put out unreleased live and studio recordings from The White Stripes in their Vault Subscription record club, as well as through regular channels.

Both Meg and Jack hope this decision isn’t met with sorrow by their fans but that it is seen as a positive move done out of respect for the art and music that the band has created. It is also done with the utmost respect to those fans who’ve shared in those creations, with their feelings considered greatly.

With that in mind the band have this to say:

“The White Stripes do not belong to Meg and Jack anymore. The White Stripes belong to you now and you can do with it whatever you want. The beauty of art and music is that it can last forever if people want it to. Thank you for sharing this experience. Your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful.”

Sincerely,
Meg and Jack White
The White Stripes"
