ELLIOTT SMITH

Download "Twilight" and "Last Call" Today on KillRockStars.com

Today we are making available two Elliott Smith songs: "Last Call" from Roman Candle and "Twilight" from From A Basement On The Hill. Both albums will be reissued on Kill Rock Stars on April 6, 2010.

Roman Candle is Elliott Smith's first solo album and was originally released on Portland's Cavity Search Records in 1994.

Roman Candle had quite an impact on Slim Moon, Kill Rock Stars' founder: "In 1994, I had been asked to be on this five-person solo-act tour called Pop Chord with Tammy Watson, Carrie Akre, Sean Croghan and Elliott Smith. 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."

Roman Candle has been remastered for the re-release by Roger Seibel and Larry Crane, editor of Tape Op Magazine and archivist for Elliott's family. Kill Rock Stars will also be releasing Roman Candle on vinyl for the first time in the U.S.

From a Basement on the Hill was released posthumously in 2004 on ANTI- records.

With the addition of these two records Kill Rock Stars is now the home for all of Elliott Smith's independent releases: Roman Candle, Elliott Smith, Either/Or, From a Basement on the Hill, and New Moon.

Deerhoof LP reissues for Record Store Day!

2010-03-01T11:15:00.001-08:00

Begin forwarded message:

DEERHOOF AND RECORD STORE DAY

I distinctly remember my first trip to an independent record shop. To my surprise, my arrival at the register (holding the Keith Richards solo album Talk Is Cheap) came with some un-asked-for commentary courtesy of the people working there: "I just saw him on Saturday Night Live, and boy did he look pale..." 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.

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 (Halfbird and Green Cosmos). 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.

We're going to celebrate Record Store Day this year with two LP reissues: APPLE O' and GREEN COSMOS.

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 Apple O' lurking in some end-of-decade lists. Let it be enjoyed afresh! Record Store Day 2010 is approaching, and here comes Apple O' on vinyl for the first time in years. This time the vinyl is blue and the artwork expanded. 4 previously unreleased bonus tracks enhance the free download that is the automatic fringe benefit of a purchase of this LP, because you will get a download code. Most likely on a small piece of paper, careful don't lose it.

Please enjoy Green Cosmos, it is coming on Record Store Day April 17 2010. 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. I have heard the 12" 45rpm test pressing and trust me this the definition of hi-fi, you can hear every last squiggle and clink, it is a thing of beauty.

Apple O' was about the Greek god of music and order, Apollo. Green Cosmos was about the Cosmos, i.e. space travel, galaxies, the big bang, and all the things in the universe.Apple O' was about the apple from the Tree of Knowledge, the ability to harness the atom, and its effect on Japan-US relations 1945 to the present.

Jazzy - Enjoy.

Fwd: GORILLAZ "STYLO" WORLDWIDE YOUTUBE PREMIERE MARCH 2, COMPLETELY NEW GORILLAZ.COM LIVE NOW

2010-02-26T11:19:00.001-08:00

GORILLAZ "STYLO" VIDEO
WORLDWIDE YOUTUBE PREMIERE MARCH 2
PLASTIC BEACH NPR FIRST LISTEN FULL ALBUM PREVIEW MARCH 1
COMPLETELY NEW GORILLAZ.COM LIVE NOW

"We've been waiting since '05 for the cartoon band that brought us hits like 'Feel Good Inc.' and 'Clint Eastwood' to regroup. And now we know what's taken them so long: Gorillaz' sublime new single sounds like Kraftwerk backing and old-fashioned soul revue" -- Entertainment Weekly

"'Stylo' boasts cameos by R&B vet Bobby Womack, testifying like a Harlem storefront preacher, and Mos Def, sounding like he Skyped in his 16 bars from an interstellar Internet café. Yet Albarn himself shines brightest, crooning like a proper soulman..." -- Rolling Stone

"Stylo," the first video from the hotly anticipated third Gorillaz album Plastic Beach, will premiere globally on YouTube on March 2nd, 2010. The video premiere will follow the March 1 launch of a streaming full album preview as part of NPR Music's Exclusive First Listen series atwww.NPR.org/music

Directed by Jamie Hewlett and produced by Cara Speller for Zombie Flesh Eaters, with live action by HSI Productions in Los Angeles, and animation by Passion Pictures in London, "Stylo" follows Gorillaz bass demigod Murdoc Niccals through a dangerous trip to the mainland from his new home on the Plastic Beach namesake of the new record. 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....

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..."

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.

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.

Guten Tag,

We hope this message finds you all well.

Dan spent the majority of 2009 re-creating the Blade Runner soundtrack on his recently acquired CS-80 synthesizer.
Note for note, arpeggio for arpeggio. Hopefully his interpretation of Vangelis's masterpiece will eventually see the light of day.
He has also been busy re-establishing the Cutters Records empire by releasing records and hosting parties,
and occasionally rocking a fine Grizzly Adams beard.

Tim is still firmly stuck in the 90's.
He interviewed seminal guitar band Pavement for Russh magazine
and he recently procured an original piece of Daniel Johnston artwork. It now hangs above his bed.

Mitchell has been spending his days establishing a tennis league for the indie rock community of Melbourne.
They even have special t-shirts with their name embodied on them. He tells me his serve is his biggest asset.
Feel free to contact him directly for membership.

Collectively however we have been camped out in a warehouse on the outskirts of Melbourne,
finishing writing and recording for album number 3. More on that very soon.

We'll also be leaving Australia to join you for your respective summers playing a handful of festival and club dates,
previewing material from the forthcoming record, as well as rocking some old favorites (btw - "veteran act????!! - wtf).

Still chasing that perfect wave,
C//C

The dates we can tell you about so far are:
Fri. July 16th - Lisbon, Portugal @ Super Bock Super Rock
Sat. July 17th - Valencia, Spain @ Benicassim Festival
Sun. July 18th - London, England @ Lovebox Festival
Thurs. July 29th - Emmaboda, Sweden @ Emmadoba Festival

We will be announcing more dates soon.

((un)) to be Released: February 2010 (The:Hours)

Seldom has an album twisted so thrillingly through so many styles, nor over-flowed with so much melody and feeling. Little wonder that Black is being tipped by the world's critics and bloggers as one of 2010's most promising break through artists. If his name already rings a bell, that's perhaps because you've heard everyone from Zane Lowe to Perez Hilton raving about HYPNTZ, the Notorious BIG cover which first brought Black to the world's attention when unsigned in 2008.

During this time, Black was mainly hunched over his laptop writing, tinkering, writing, recording and then writing some more. "I knew that unless I had great songs, it was all a bit pointless," he says. "I think I wrote 70 songs in that time." By his own admission, many of them were rubbish. But it quickly became clear that quite a few weren't. Tracks like the shimmering, lysergic lullaby Life Slash Dreams, the wistful, New Order-esque WonderU + Me = began to spill out of him; sonically contrasting, but all driven by Black's obvious knack for a catchy melody and a sharp, meaningful lyric. and the strident, big beat love song

In that spirit, he began to experiment with home-made mash-ups. "I'd try something like taking the drums from [Nelly Furtado's] Maneater and mixing them with a Daft Punk hook before singing [The Smiths'] These Things Take Time over the top, just to see if they would/could work together. The initial idea was that these were private experiments that would teach me lessons that I could feed into my original songs. But some of those experiments turned out to have a weird power in and of themselves."

The best example of that was HYPNTZ, which combined the drums from Rihanna's Umbrella with sweeping strings from the soundtrack of John Carpenter's Starman film, over which Black sang the rhymes from Notorious B.I.G.'s rap classic Hypnotize. "I've always been massively into B.I.G. So doing that track was very much motivated by love. He's articulating a mindset that is pretty ugly, but those lyrics are the result of an extraordinary, strange, amazing mind. My version accidentally turned into a lament; the chorus is me asking how he managed to squander his talent. Obviously he didn't mean to get killed, but it was such a stupid waste."

In the spring of 2008, Black registered a MySpace account and uploaded his striking HYPNTZ track to the player. "I really didn't expect it to get much attention." Claims Black. But it quickly did. Within weeks the track was being raved about in print across the world and getting daytime airplay on Radio One. By the summer, A&M had snapped him up to a major deal.

And now we have ((un)), a pop record inspired as much by Black's love for the "transcendent, emotional wonder" of acts like Nick Drake and Sigur Ros as it is fuelled by his passion for the hip hop production of J Dilla, Flying Lotus and Timbaland. Its songs flit seamlessly from throbbing electro to heart-tearing strings, and from plaintive acoustic guitar strums to shuddering hip hop beats.

"The best music makes the stuff start firing in your brain," says Dan Black. "That's what I always aimed for when I was writing these songs." As the kaleidoscopic future-pop of ((un)) proves, he repeatedly hit his target.

Black is the man whose yearning voice you'll hear singing ((un))'s literate tales of "intense states of being, be they extraordinarily happy or extraordinarily hard". But he's also the abundantly talented chap who wrote, played, programmed and produced every last note of this album. He even handles all of his own artwork and videos (they're very good too).

The hard work clearly paid off. ((un)) is a richly-detailed record that's as strikingly innovative and contrasting as it is sonically impressive. But, more importantly, it also contains 11 belting examples of quality modern pop songs. From the gorgeous, electo-acoustic yearn of Sweet Thing to the caustic, break-up grooves of Yours, these are songs which all sound well capable of breathing life, heart and soul into daytime radio. Black certainly won't be short of options when it comes to picking singles.

"Making this record has deprived me of sleep for more than a year. I've slaved and obsessed over every little part of it, like a painter going over and over his canvas. But it was totally worth it. This is as close as humanly possible to the record I've always wanted to make. That's a pretty exciting feeling."

(February 23, 2010, Los Angeles, CA) - MANIFESTEQUALITY(www.manifestequality.com) is now set to launch in its pop up space in the center of Hollywood on Wednesday, March 3 - Sunday, March 7, 2010.   The MANIFESTEQUALITY Gallery issues a call-to-action, with artists motivating public energy toward true reform on a local, state and national level. Artists, grass roots activists, performers, celebrity guests, art collectors, musicians, public officials and the general public will display their works and show support at the MANIFESTEQUALITY Gallery in Hollywood, CA. just blocks from the Kodak Theater where the Academy Awards will be held. Participating artists include: Barry McGee, Harvey Pekar, Karen Kimmel, Robbie Conal, Ron English, Tierney Gearon, Shepard Fairey, Clare Rojas, Swoon and hundreds more.

The MANIFESTEQUALITY gallery has gathered international and local artists in a call to present art that unites art, activism and the message of universal equal rights into a memorable multi-media 'moment'. Through Suffrage, the Equal Rights Amendment, the Prop 8 shockwaves, the legal battle for equal rights has been fought at different times, on differing fronts, for varied communities. In response to the growing resistance to equal rights for the LGBT population, the creative community is gathering, during Oscar Week to bring inspiration through the creation of original artworks, performances and special installations that raise visibility for the grass roots efforts to ensure full Equal Rights to LGBT Americans. Upper Playground (www.upperplayground.com) will be working with the artists and offering sales services to assist in the fundraising for this cause. The MANIFESTEQUALITY gallery interior has been designed by artist Jed Lind in collaboration with local LA Design team COMMUNE (www.communedesign.com ) headed by Roman Alonso and Steven Johanknecht with a generous contribution by the ReUse People.

Aaron Rose and his arts organization Make Something School (www.makesomethingworkshops.com) will host students on Saturday March 6, 2010 who are between the ages of 16 - 21.

LONDON, U.K. AND SAN MATEO, C.A. – The globally acclaimed British sketch comedy sensations, The Mighty Boosh, and Tribal Games, a mobile games developer and a division of Tribal Brands, have teamed to deliver The Mighty Decider. This new app delivers what this indecisive world has been waiting for -- a life management tool that will guide the decision making process, and provide continuous hours of entertainment for any social network. Boosh fans across the globe will revel in the fact they can turn to the quirky and surreal Boosh universe at a moment's notice to assist in their life choices. Just as compelling for those not yet familiar with the Boosh, The Mighty Decider is the perfect introduction to the inventive and fantastical act of nature known as The Mighty Boosh. The Mighty Decider is now available worldwide from the App store for the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. To download The Mighty Decider, go to www.mightydecider.com.

Government leaders can choose from The Mighty Deciders' whimsical suite of tools and ask the worldly-wise "Moon," transformed into the classic Magic 8 Ball, to decide on managed health care bills; celebrities can now reach out to the "Crack Fox" and "Flip a Coin" to decide which scripts to accept; couples and admirers can play "Spin the Bottle" with a special love potion hand-mixed by "Bob Fossil", and the man on the street can go to "Naboo The Enigma" and have him read his fortune. As with all Boosh releases, The Mighty Decider is groundbreaking and original. Its development and creation involved The Mighty Boosh cast of Noel Fielding, Julian Barratt, Rich Fulcher, Mike Fielding and Dave Brown, all of whom contributed their voices for the project. Barratt and Fielding also created the artwork for the app and the cast improvised lines for The Mighty Decider. Tribal Games, developed the storytelling and design elements. The result of this collaborative effort is an innovative mobile tool that contains an hour of original content that "Boosh" fans have never seen.

The magical, bizarre and exciting world of The Mighty Boosh was created by comedians Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding, evolving from live theatre to radio and, finally, to a groundbreaking television series originally airing on The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). On March 29, 2009, The Mighty Boosh made its United States debut on The Cartoon Network's Adult Swim to rave reviews. Building on their cult following in Britain, a growing fan base in the U.S., several live stage show tours—which culminated in a 90-date tour of the U.K., selling out arenas such as 02 and Wembley with over a quarter of a million fans in attendance. Their best selling and award-winning coffee table book, The Mighty Book of Boosh, expanded their horizons and now the mobile world is primed for this imaginative and psychedelic brand.

About The Mighty Boosh
Having met up in the clubs of London, Barratt and Fielding's roots are founded in sketch comedy. They first created The Mighty Boosh characters for their comedy sketch series, Unnatural Acts. The comedic sensation soon made its way to three stage productions The Mighty Boosh, Arctic Boosh and Autoboosh. 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. On March 29, 2009, The Mighty Boosh made its United States debut on The Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

Bikini Kill seeks stories on Bikini Kill

2010-02-10T13:15:00.001-08:00

Directly from the band:

SHARE YOUR BIKINI KILL STORIES

Bikini Kill has set up an official archive online:

http://bikinikillarchive.wordpress.com/

We are collecting stories of how people got into the band/shows they saw/memories/testimonials etc.

It would be awesome if you wanted to contribute. It doesn't have to be fancy or well-worded, we'd just like you to leave a record of your experience and get an idea of what Bikini Kill means to you. Maybe it's your reaction to a song we wrote, something weird that happened at one of our shows, a personal anecdote or just WHATEVER. Send yr story to bkillarchive@gmail.com and we will post it or just leave a comment somewhere on the site. You can also send us images to post.

Please help us spread the word. To document the history (or herstory) of the band it is necessary to include an oral history from "the fans". We say fans for lack of a better word--a more expansive term would be inclusive of friends, peers, comrades, co-conspirators and imply participation rather than an audience separate from the band--which is what we hope to achieve with this interactive approach.

Also, if you have video/film footage of the band, please contact us, Thanks!

Fwd: The Masses Blood Drive for the Morning After

2010-02-02T12:38:00.000-08:00

The Red Cross needs your blood, as supplies are critically low in Southern
California.

Apparently, we are among the worst region in the nation when it comes to
donating blood, and with the longest list of excuses.

The main two being driving distance, and time.

Instead of asking you to drive to Chatsworth to do something about it, we're
going to have a bloodmobile parked in front of our offices on Sunday, and
Coolhaus on hand to give out ice cream sandwiches to generous souls.
Upstairs, we'll have some DJ's will be spinning vinyl ... Basically, a
festive and feel good morning after whatever you did the night before.

Please confirm if you are available to donate.

This Sunday, 10-4. Takes an hour. 1 pint of your blood saves 3 lives.

Those who are interested can make an appointment at www.givelife.org sponsor
code "themasses", and make an indelible change in the lives of someone in
their own society thus helping those in need in an emergency.

Or let us know what stretch of the day you'd like to drop in on, and we'll
work you in.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Unlike most equal opportunity employers, Red Cross does discriminate (to
maintain a safe blood supply).

Strangely, hangovers are welcome. Just drink a lot of water, they say. The
rest actually applies to a lot of people I know ... No fresh tattoos from
unregulated states (in the last year), Must weigh at least 110 pounds (rules
out some fashionable individuals), Can't have traveled to a Malaria-filled
zone in past year (lots of tropical vacationers). No intravenous drug
history (what's up, 90's bands).

Please read this closely so we don't waste your precious time.

Statement from Rufus Wainwright
January 19, 2010

When inevitably I read today in the papers that my mother lost her battle with cancer last night, I am filled with an immense desire to add that this battle, though lost, was tremendously fruitful during these last three and a half years of her life. She witnessed her daughter's marriage, the creation of my first opera, the birth of her first grandchild Arcangelo, and gave the greatest performance of her life to a packed crowd at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Not to mention traveling to some of the world's most incredible places with both my sister, her husband Brad, my boyfriend Jorn and myself. Yes, it was all too brief, but as I was saying to her sister Anna last night while sitting by her body after the struggle had ceased, there is never enough time and she, my amazing mother with whom everyone fell in love, went out there and bloody did it. I will miss you mother, my sweet and valiant explorer, lebwohl and adio. X

In 2008, Kate established the Kate McGarrigle Fund in association with McGill University Health Centre, the Jewish General Hospital through the MUHC Foundation, the Cedars Cancer Institute, and Cancer Research UK in order to raise money and awareness for the fight against this rare type of cancer.

Please contact me if you are or you know of someone interested

Begin forwarded message:

Hello - I am currently seeking a good intern for The Hours. The position will part intern, part assistant to yours truly. I'm looking for someone who is already familiar with most of the social networking sites (myspace, facebook, twitter, blogging, etc) who can help build our online profile and keep all our sites up to date. Other duties include the usual admin type stuff and helping me day to day.

We are a record label, that is owned by one of the Top 5 advertising agencies in the world, which means we do a lot of licensing and sync placements on top of the normal record label biz. It's a good place to learn about both sides and I have a wealth of knowledge to share!

Our main act, Dan Black just got iTunes SOTW, plus major radio stations are adding the song into rotations and we're getting love at TV as well - so it's going to be a busy year and I need help!

Please have any prospective interns email me directly.

Thanks!
Jen
