*i've missed the last few tuesday tomorrows, but if you didn't know, CALEXICO and OKKERVIL RIVER both released amazing albums last week. this week there was DRESSY BESSY but i didn't get that one.
*very sad news that Norman Whitfield passed away. some of my favorite whitfield compositions were:
--Can't Get Next To You
--I Heard it Through The Grapevine
--War
--He Was Really Sayin' Somethin'
What about you? It seems he was one of the proponents of the best parts of Motown in the late 60s/early 70s (psychedelia and funk) as opposed to the annoying disco-esque stuff that they put out in that era. So basically I have him to thank for Motown not being too annoying in that era.
*i'll probably miss this coming tuesday tomorrow, but just know that TV ON THE RADIO is releasing dear science, this tuesday. so stoked. also, JONKATBAND (featuring jon from the mekons and kat from the ex) released their debut album together. i saw them together at the touch & go fest thing a couple years ago and it was lovely. so i'm anticipating it to be one of those sleeper hits for me (due to it being released the same day as TVOTR) and something that totally misses the indie radar. that's too bad. so i'm suggesting right now that you check that one out. also dr dooom 2 comes out next week. huh. i hope it's not as annoying as the return of dr octagon.
