The first night at the Crocodile in Seattle, I didn't pay too much attention and people talked all thru Elliott's set. Sean Croghan got up next and said "all of you people who just talked through Elliott's set are bummed because you just missed something very very special." The next night of the tour, at The Bottom Of The Hill in San Francisco, I listened very closely to Elliott's set, and it was basically one of those life-changing moments. Instead of watching the rest of the performers, I went out to the tour van and popped Roman Candle into the player, and listened to it on endless repeat for the rest of the evening and beyond. It completely blew my mind. I have never heard music as heartwrenchingly, gut-checkingly honest, intimate, and wise before or since."<br><br><i>Roman Candle</i> has been remastered for the re-release by<b> Roger Seibel</b> and <b>Larry Crane</b>, editor of Tape Op Magazine and archivist for Elliott's family.

I felt simultaneously frowned-upon and ultra-impressed that someone could just walk in and buy anything in the place, and they'd have something to say about it.<br></font></font><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2"></font></font></span></font><span><font><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2"><br></font></font><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2"></font></font></font><font><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">Years later after Deerhoof was formed, independent record stores became central to our livelihood. Our first releases were 7" singles and an LP, and the only shops that carried them were independents. In some cases, it was finding our record in such a store that initiated relationships that would become important for us later. For example the owner of the label Menlo Park Recordings found Deerhoof this way, and went on to release a double 7" and two CDs (</font></font><i><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">Halfbird </font></font></i><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">and </font></font><i><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">Green Cosmos</font></font></i><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">). Also Thurston Moore discovered Deerhoof in this way and contacted us about opening for his band Sonic Youth, which we have now done several times.<br></font></font><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2"></font></font></font><font><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2"><br></font></font><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2"></font></font></font><font><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">We're going to celebrate </font></font><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">Record Store Day</font></font><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2"> this year with two LP reissues: APPLE O' and GREEN COSMOS.<br><br>In our era of Music Overload one never knows if one's songwriting efforts will be recognized in any way, let alone heard, let alone remembered...so it was with a genuine thrill that we discovered our 2003 album </font></font><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2"></font></font><i><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">Apple O'</font></font></i><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2"> lurking in some end-of-decade lists.

I expect many have never heard it before, due in part to a substandard marketing campaign when it was originally released in 2005. It is not on any end-of-decade lists. It is the first time on vinyl of any color, let alone milky green and with free downloads and 4 bonus tracks. Careful - don't lose the small scrap of paper that contains the download code, until the download is successful, then discard, or recycle where municipal regulation allows.

Something goes badly wrong and Murdoc, guitarist/Cyborg Noodle - who has replaced her (its?) flesh and blood counterpart since the original's apparent demise in the previous Demon Days' final video "El Manana" -- and vocalist 2D end up in a high speed car chase with a local cop and an unknown assailant. Cyborg Noodle's circuits start failing and 2D fears for their lives as the gun toting bounty hunter draws ever closer....<br><br>Murdoc recalls of the video shoot (no pun intended), "Someone was chasing me through the desert! Luckily I had my camera crew following me and they captured it all on film, so I've cut it up and stuck it back together for my Stylo video! That'll learn me not to leave the safe, toxic, isolated haven of Plastic Beach..."<br><br>Murdoc's new stomping grounds can be explored at the all - new all-different Gorillaz.com. The completely new site, which has just gone live, has been relocated from the now defunct Kong Studios (RIP) to the newly constructed complex at Point Nemo, Plastic Beach.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>The "Stylo" single is on sale now and has already received a 4-star review from Rolling Stone and a Must List plug from Entertainment Weekly. Plastic Beach will be released by Virgin in the U.S. on March 9th. Plastic Beach is the first Gorillaz album since 2005's Demon Days which featured the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocal Grammy winner "Feel Good Inc." and, like its predecessor 2001's Gorillaz, sold some six million copies worldwide. Gorillaz will headline the April 18 final day of this year's Coachella festival in Indio CA, which will be the first live Gorillaz experience in the States since the Demon Days Live sold out five-night run at Harlem's Apollo Theater.<br><br>For further developments in the ongoing Gorillaz story, check back daily at<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a track="on" shape="rect" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103104154901&s=4789&e=001dXaB_M6qRsbMeM2rGjHXenssjGvupWnJHq2cZXVvFqKylNv54eijQFpBBipvWgknr17k4FKiTOs_-HItcm_IclmKe02lc4fSE0-eKRrmWlU=" linktype="link" target="_blank" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">http://gorillaz.com/</a></div></div></font></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></span></span></div><br>Celestéhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10195591943358800204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516781.post-19189941245847953012010-02-26T10:35:00.001-08:002010-02-26T10:35:41.080-08:00NYC JOB OPP - CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival Editorial Director<h1 class="q">CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival Editorial Director</h1><p class="q-details"> CMJ is hiring an Editorial Director for the CMJ Music Marathon and Film Festival 2010.

The live act was then commissioned by the BBC for a six-part radio series and eventually for a BBC 3 television series. In 2006, Barratt and Fielding launched their first nationwide tour The Mighty Boosh Live across the U.K. Their second tour, Boosh Live, which spanned across the U.K. and parts of Ireland, wrapped up in 2009.
