Fleeting Blues

2008 marked the release of one of the most beautiful albums I've heard (dare I say ever?) in quite some time. Fleet Foxes' self titled release has been in my rotation since then and I have been patiently waiting for more music from these guys.

Finally my wish has been granted!

The boys are set to release their new album "Helplessness Blues" in early May and I can't be more excited. Also, in conjunction with the new album they are going out on tour and have promised to "go everywhere [we] they are wanted".

Listen/Download the title track/first single and check out their tour dates below!

Les Claypool Presents The Oddity Faire - A Mutated Mini Fest

Les Claypool is about to wrap up his Oddity Faire tour with only two shows left. This Friday March 27th in Philadelphia at the Electric Factory and Saturday March 28th in New York at Terminal 5. He has also just released a new album entitled, "Of Fungi and Foe" which you can purchase HERE.

Here's a radio spot for the Electric Factory show.

The King of Pop Returns

Today Michael Jackson has announced that he will return to the stage in July for 10 shows at the O2 Arena in London. I don't care how bizarre, weird, or strange he has gotten over the years. In my mind, Michael Jackson can do no wrong. I am beyond excited about this news and I wish him the best of luck.

Untill then, here's some classic MJ for ya. (sorry about the advertisements on mostof these)
