and his solo albums, Richard Thompson has brought us a daunting amount of music over the last 40 years. On June 30, Shout! Factory offers a Thompson primer: the 4-CD set Walking on a Wire: Richard Thompson (1969-2009). The collection features 71 tracks spanning his entire career. But the music vet isn’t just sitting on his ass and reflecting nowadays; Thompson has plenty of shows lined up in the near future.

— Dengue fever is a disease that lasts about seven days and can include nausea, stomach pain, and vomiting. Dengue Fever is also a Khmer band from L.A.! Dengue Fever (the band) is readying a DVD documentary called Sleepwalking Through The Mekong, due as part of a CD/DVD set due April 14 via M80 Music. The film follows the band on a 2005 Cambodia trip, which “marked the first time a Western band had performed classic 60s and 70s Cambodian rock’n’roll in the country where it was created,” according to a press release. The accompanying CD includes tracks from Cambodian artists as well as a couple previously unreleased Dengue Fever songs. Also, on May 5 at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco, Dengue Fever will premiere their original soundtrack to the 1925 silent film The Lost World at a screening during the San Francisco International Film Festival. And the band is on tour now. Catch it?

This travelogue video for Telekinesis‘ “Tokyo”, from their forthcoming Merge debut, is an ode to the famed Asian capital and features Japanese candy, alcohol, and fish. Directed by Dianna Potter.

While the greatest-hits-worthy Wilco song “Impossible Germany” is on their last album, 2007’s Sky Blue Sky, the record also features a lot of songs that didn’t quite live up to their lofty legacy. So there’s a little more pressure on the band to come through with goods on the stilluntitled follow-up, due this June.

Pitchfork.tv page with embed code is here.

To help guarantee a world-class effort, Jeff Tweedy and Co. invited Feist up to their Chicago studio to record vocals for a new Wilco song called “You and I”, Rolling Stone‘s Smoking Section blog reports. “Feist and the dudes in Wilco met at the Grammys last year, and she hit it off with everyone,” Smoking Section says. “She’s a Wilco fan, and the guys love her music, so they’ve kept in touch over the past year. Mr. Tweedy is a huge fan of duets, and wanted to work a duet into the new album. Feist was their first call. Everyone who’s heard the song has been ‘blown away.’”

their pompousness. We’ve played some shows with them and they really treat people like shit. Whenever I’ve been around them, I’ve found that they not only treated their crew like shit, they treated the audience like shit. They treated everybody in their vicinity like shit. I thought, “Who do they think they are?” I don’t know why people put up with it. I wouldn’t put up with it. I don’t care if it’s Arcade Fire or Brian Eno. If either of them walked into a room and treated people like shit I’d be like, “Fuck you, get outta here.”

People treat Arcade Fire like they’re the greatest thing ever and they get away with it. Those sort of opinions change my view of their music. They have good tunes, but they’re pricks, so fuck ‘em. Who does Arcade Fire think they are? I’ve been around groups. I’ve been around the Edge from U2 and he’s the fucking sweetest guy ever. I was around Justin Timberlake when he was young and he was just a normal, nice, kind person. Anyone can be polite and kind and people who have the privilege and money and attention should understand that. If they don’t, then fuck ‘em.

This isn’t the first time Coyne has called out some of his fellow musicians, of course. Talking to The Guardian about one-time tour mate Beck in 2003, he said, “When you hear his songs, you think he must really have some tender feelings, but then you find out it’s a madeup thing.” And in an interview with The Daily Star last year he managed to slag Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Razorlight, and Duffy without taking a breath. Either he’s trying to apply for NME‘s editor-in-chief position or dude simply does not give a shit. It’s incredible.

Grizzly Bear Announce Summer Tour

MAR 04, 2009 07:00P.M. Photo by Kirstie Shanley “Realistically speaking, it’s probably going to leak.” That’s Grizzly Bear‘s Ed Droste, talking to Pitchfork last month about the band’s forthcoming album Veckatimest. Earlier this week, Droste’s prophecy came true. Warp doesn’t plan to release Veckatimest until May 26 (May 25 in the UK), but the album is already all over the internet, albeit in extremely low-quality 128 kpbs form. Yesterday, Droste Twittered about the leak: “So yeah, it leaked. I’m happy people are loving it. Makes me smile! Just remember it’s not a top notch sonic example. So keep that in mind.”

When a few people had the temerity to request that Droste leak a better version himself, he responded thusly: “You know what, screw it here’s a quality version of the album! ENJOY!!!” He added a link to the Insound pre-order page for the album. Droste’s pretty funny!

but ultimately it saddens me that a bummer-quality version of Veckatimest is going around. Please consider putting your energies into a pre-order or into waiting till May 26 for the album the way we intend it to be presented.”

On Grizzly Bear’s blog, Droste elaborates: “Leaking is a tricky subject; as we all know, I’ve had my run ins with the law O__o (Hi, Mr. Sheriff!) I have conflicting opinions about it, as it’s really complicated, but ultimately it saddens me that a bummer-quality version of Veckatimest is going around. Please consider putting your energies into a pre-order or into waiting till May 26 for the album the way we intend it to be presented.”

It’s worth pointing out that even in shitty webrip form, Veckatimest sounds exactly as mysteriously pretty as I’d hoped it would. Uh, not that I downloaded the leak or anything... In happier Grizzly Bear news, they’ve revealed dates for their summer North American tour. Mixed in with the usual club dates, they’ve got a smattering of shows in large, luxurious seated venues like New York’s Town Hall. As the rapturous reports from the band’s recent show with the Brooklyn Philharmonic make clear, venues like this are really the ideal place to hear their expansive fragility.

News in Brief: Deerhoof, Fucked Up/No Age, Chairlift, Saint Etienne, Freeway/Jake One

We already have the release date (May 26 in the U.S., May 25 internationally), first song (“1901”), and tracklist for French band Phoenix‘s new LP. And now we have the cover. It’s all coming together, people. But what does it all mean?! You’ve got the Dr. Strangelove bombs dropping on some indiscriminate body of land that looks a lot like a generic U.S. state. (Maybe that’s what Phoenix looks like to French people.) Is Phoenix trying to warn America’s citizens of an incoming attack... by France?! Or is the band looking to culturally carpet-bomb Obama-nation? And where does Mozart play into all of this? Is he riding another bomb somewhere off screen? Please send your theory to [email protected].

MAR 04, 2009 05:50P.M. Photo by Eric Landmark — SF avant-rockers Deerhoof have teamed up with the collaborative music website Indaba to open up their song “Buck and Judy” for remixing—and re-playing— purposes. They’ve uploaded the sheet music, tabs, and all the stems from the song to Indaba, and now you can play around with the song however you want, removing or replacing any instrumental piece of the track or adding your own. If you’ve always harbored a sneaking suspicion that Deerhoof would be so much more awesome if you were their kazoo player, now’s your chance to prove it.

In other Phoenix news, the band is now offering a multi-track version of new song “1901” for fans to download and remix on their home computers. Why you would want to mess with such a perfect song is beyond me, but a Justice-style redo couldn’t hurt, I suppose. No shitty mashups with “1999” plz.

Daft Punk to Score Tron 2.0?

New Music: Crooked Fingers [ft. Neko Case]: “Your Control” [Stream]

MAR 04, 2009 05:20P.M. Daft Punk might be writing the original score for Tron 2.0, Disney’s sequel to the so-obsolete-it’s-incredible 1982 evil computer movie, according to Upcoming Film Scores. This is such a perfect pairing, we hope against hope it’s true. (Representatives for the band have yet to respond to requests for confirmation.)

MAR 04, 2009 04:30P.M. The new Crooked Fingers EP, Your Control, is a bit of an indie rock allstar session. There are two covers of Eric Bachman tunes by other artists (Spoon’s Britt Daniel covers “Run, Lieutenant, Run”, Lambchop’s Kurt Wagner’s covers “Sweet Marie”, and then the Mae Shi turn in a remix of the title track. Speaking of which, “Your Control” is streaming now on the Crooked Fingers MySpace, and it’s a duet between Eric Bachmann and Neko Case.

The only way Tron 2.0 could suck is if it takes itself too seriously (always a concern for camp-cult remakes and sequels). It’s directed by Joseph Kosinski (who’s done lots of eye-melting CGI commercials like this one for Nike), written by “Lost” screenwriters Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, and stars “House”/”O.C.” star Olivia Wilde and some dude named Garrett Hedlund, says The Hollywood Reporter. Jeff Bridges will also reprise his original role as super genius Kevin Flynn. The movie is currently being shot in Vancouver, British Columbia for a projected 2011 release date, according to IMDb.

Stream:> Crooked Fingers [ft. Neko Case]: “Your Control” [from the Your Control EP; out now on Constant Artists, Inc. / Red Pig and available from iTunes and Crooked Fingers]

80s nostalgia can get a bit toxic at times, so hopefully these Tron 2.0 guys can bring Tron into the future while retaining some of the past. You know what would be a great way to do that? Hiring Daft Punk to write the music. The Oscar performance will rule. PITCHFORK MEDIA - TODAY

You know, if Trent Reznor was going to go through all the trouble to link up with Jane’s Addiction for an alt-rock veterans’ tour, would it really have been that much trouble to turn it into a full-blown Lollapalooza ‘91 reunion? Is Ice-T’s acting career keeping him so busy that he couldn’t take a couple of months off? What about Living Colour? Or the Butthole Surfers? Those guys are probably all anxiously waiting by the phone just in case Reznor feels a sudden wave of nostalgic goodwill.

MAR 04, 2009 04:30P.M. The new Crooked Fingers EP, Your Control, is a bit of an indie rock allstar session. There are two covers of Eric Bachman tunes by other artists (Spoon’s Britt Daniel covers “Run, Lieutenant, Run”, Lambchop’s Kurt Wagner’s covers “Sweet Marie”, and then the Mae Shi turn in a remix of the title track. Speaking of which, “Your Control” is streaming now on the Crooked Fingers MySpace, and it’s a duet between Eric Bachmann and Neko Case.

Even without Siouxsie and the Banshees or the Rollins Band, though, this NIN/JA jaunt is a beast of a tour, and we’re already getting our devil sticks and “Censorship Is Unamerican” T-shirts out of mothballs. And since Reznor has written that he’s ready to “disappear for a while” after this tour, this could be our last chance to experience the inevitable arena-wide hush when the first notes of “Something I Can Never Have” chime out.

Last month, we reported that both bands would serve as headliners for this year’s Sasquatch Festival. And last night, Reznor announced the first wave of dates on the Nine Inch Nails website. Here’s how they look:

A Place to Bury Strangers Sign to Mute MAR 04, 2009 01:00P.M.

(Note: Jane’s Addiction aren’t playing with Nine Inch Nails on the Chicago stop on the tour, which means they are probably playing this year’s Lollapalooza. - Ed.)

The self-titled, self-released debut album from Brooklyn effects-pedal abusers A Place to Bury Strangers took bits and pieces from any number of 80s-vintage noise-pop heroes: Hissing drum machine rattles from Cabaret Voltaire, morose pop hooks from Depeche Mode, slithery raunch from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, layered guitar scree from Sonic Youth. And now that they’ve signed with Mute Records, APTBS will release their second album on the same label where those bands recorded some or all of their best work. (Sonic Youth were on the Muteaffiliated Blast First, not Mute itself, but still. Living the dream!)

Here’s APTBS frontman Oliver Ackermann on the deal: “They have put out some of our favorite records over the years. I can’t think of a label that better fosters experimentally creative music.” The band are working on their second album right now, and they’ve also got some shows coming up on both sides of the Atlantic. read more
