After holing up in an L.A. mansion, dressing in all white and partying with lesbians, LCD Soundsystem inform us that their LP is due in March (and other tidbits) over at their suddenly active Facebook. (Thanks for the tip, Chris.)

Talk Normal, the Brooklyn duo of vocalist/guitarist/bassist Sarah Register and yowling drummer Andrya Ambro, are following up various CD-R’s and 2008′s Secret Cog EP with an official full-length Sugarland, a heady 10-song/45-minute dose of their clamoring post-no wave deconstruction. If you’ve heard them, it’ll be unsurprising to learn Sightings bassist Richard Hoffman shows up on it. Or that they’re opening for Teenage Jesus & The Jerks in a couple of days. Or that one of the collection’s tracks is a cover of Roxy Music’s “In Every Dream Home a Heartache.” (If it seems surprising, listen to the original again.) I’m not sure what inspired the title Sugarland, but there’s that gay bar on N. 9th in Brooklyn that’s basically the only remaining structure on a street where construction seems stalled, the sidewalks are crumbling, and the rubble’s looking longterm. Regardless of whether or not I’m right, for a band who’s clearly inspired by an older, dirtier, more adventurous and empty downtown NYC, the reference is perfect on half a dozen levels. Listen to opener “Hot Song.”

There’s a lot you could say about Justin Bon Ivernon’s winning collaboration with his experimental statesmates of Collections Of Colonies Of Bees — how tender and affecting his voice can be whether being a backwoods-folkie sad sack or fronting a cut-and-pasted sample-and-loop exploration and the promise it shows for a versatile Vernon career, let alone the hefty merits of Volcano Choir’s present effort Unmap, etc. By contrast though, there’s relatively few threads to pull for lead single “Island, IS“‘s Michinori Saigo-directed video: colored light squares illuminate a bridge in I’m guessing Wisconsin Japan in time with the track’s deconstructed syncopation, and the net effect is streamlined, subtle, but essentially perfect.

Phish just eliminated the Ween White Pepper album from their Halloween set teaser on their website.
I really dig how Jamtopia is laying it out for everyone. That site gets an A+ in detail-oriented fandom that we can hardly ever hope to achieve. Kudos.

Lightning Bolt’s fifth album Garden Of Earthly Delights (Load, 10/13) opens like a riot with “Sound Guardians.” It’s the perfect place to get acquainted with the collection, so we asked drummer Brian Chippendale about it. You’ve heard “Colossus,” now hear Chippendale talk about how he and Brian Gibson arrive at song titles (hint: Soundgarden and the Boredoms are involved), why they put “Sound Guardians” first, and whether or not their new Garden was inspired by the 15th/16th-century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch. We didn’t have enough room for his ruminations in the ‘Gum Drop, but you can read it all here, while you give your eardrums a workout.

In my opinion, Kayne West, Lil Wayne, and Flo-Rida are currently the most overrated in Hip Hop music!
BQ: who are the current 3 most under-rated hip hop artists right now?
Yuki Chikudate and James Hanna are a few weeks away from their third release of 2009 with Rewolf, an acoustically inclined revisitation of highlights from their time together in the very electric project Asobi Seksu. But before we get there, they’re still bringing light to “Transparence,” a standout from their February-released Hush LP that recently got the 10″ treatment and today gets a fittingly diaphanous, dreamy, watery, and floating-luminaria-lit video. Fitting because the track has a gossamer sheen like the best moments of their brand of dream-pop, and fitting because lens filters and various lighting levels are a good look for a track with this one’s name. And a director named Major Lightner.

Last night the reunited emo legends gave Jimmy Fallon “Seven,” the first track from their classic 1994 full-length debut Diary. There was more anticipatory energy in the air at that secret show at Hell’s Kitchen in Tacoma a couple weeks ago, but as far as Late Night outings go, the guys do bring it. Not surprising: Between Jeremy Enigk’s solo work and the Foo Fighters, they’re old pros even with fifteen years of SDRE rust. That, and it’s not the first time they brought “Seven” to national TV. Contrast/compare, and take a pass at these shots by Mehan Jayasuria from Sunny Day’s Sunday-night headliner at Terminal 5.
