And the creepiest artwork of the year goes to Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti.

“Real Life” is the first single off Tanlines upcomming EP – “Settings”.

“Velvet Davenport are an “interestingly weirdo, backward-glancing psychedelic Minneapolis sextet” – Stereogum. These two songs are off the upcoming 7″, “Get Out” due out on March 31, 2010.

Velvet Davenport: Get Out

Velvet Davenport: Run

As you all may know, Broken Social Scene is my favorite band of all time. They can never jump the shark, and they can never be classified or genre’d. They are the perfect storm that encompasses several entities all based out of Austin North aka Toronto Ontario. I will find a way to see them on this tour but there are several scheduling conflicts. New album is released May 4th. Reminds me of being in England, pre ordering the cd and listening to it weeks before the cd arrived. I heart BSS.
