Super Dave versus the Vampire



The Ultimate Larry Craig Interview

Last week, Super Dave Osborne conducted the ultimate interview with nosferatu Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) and his wife for the Jimmy Kimmel show. In the best John Stossel manque fashion, Osborne "cuts the crap" and asks the questions American voters want to hear answered, especially the one about whether Craig hawked his wife's body parts on eBay.

Tangled up in blue



Police in Orlando Friday (10/19) arrested three employees of the Orlando Weekly on charges of aiding and abetting prostitution. The three worked in the paper's classified section. Police say they were helping the city's escorts and massages parlors write coded ads to attract johns while escaping detection from police.

Do you belive in GodTube?

It's here!
GodTube.com


Last week the upstart Christian video site, GodTube became the first religious website to offer the hot-ticket social media trinity: user-generated video (à la YouTube), social networking (à la MySpace and Facebook) and live webcasting (à la Stickam.com). GodTube's claim that it has become the most trafficked Christian website on the Internet is trumped only by a second boast: that by the sheer volume of video watched by its users — 1.5 million hours last month — it is now the world's largest broadcaster of Christian video.

David Byrne's 2007 Nonesuch Records reissue of the Knee Plays




SLIDE SHOW WITH MUSIC
David Byrne's 2007 Nonesuch Records reissue of the Knee Plays — from its original conception, as part of Robert Wilson's epic play the CIVIL warS.

Robert Wilson’s the CIVIL warS — “a theatrical production concerning human myths, conflict and brotherhood over the ages” — began as a commission for an arts festival in conjunction with the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

Originally conceived as a day-long performance in five parts, the work called for writers, composers and performers from many different countries to assemble in Los Angeles to present their comprehensive work of art. Although no performance of the full work took place then, and devotees of new music continue to await an integral staging, its component parts have fared better in numerous international performances.

Metal Machine Music

Dragons of Zynth
Coronation Thieves
Release date: September 25, 2007
Label: Gigantic Music


This disc is out of the known universe of current independent music. It is rich, textured and an amazing lift from the crop-o-crap of new releases. Imagine Radiohead, at their most eccentric and blip-heavy. Add a large portion of confidence, swagger and grow the idea in Cincinatti and Brooklyn instead of Oxford, England. Dragons of Zynth start off like Sun Ra channeling proggy pop and it just gets better with every listen. David Sitek, Tunde Adibempe, Kyp Malone, Jeleel Bunton and Gerard Smith of TV on The Radio contribute their amazing talents throughout the 45-minute disc.

• Standout tracks: Who Rize Above, Take It To Ride, Rockin Star

DOZ made more than heads turn at 2007 SXSW Festival, Gigantic Music showcase. The response the band received has a direct-connect to their debut disc, 'Coronation of Thieves,' becoming the most anticipated new release of the year.

'Coronation Thieves' is a pleasure, a wonder and a marvel of rhythmic and psychedelic proportions.

DayTrotter.com has some early tracks available for free download here.

Radiohead's In Rainbows Premieres on Xfm Radio

Consider this a chance to try before you buy: tomorrow (October 10), London-based radio station Xfm will broadcast Radiohead's seventh and latest opus, the much-chattered-about In Rainbows, in its entirety. The on-air unveiling begins at noon UK-time, which translates to sometime in the wee hours of the morning for Radiohead's fans in North and South America.

Black Kids
Wizard of Ahhhs EP

[Self-released; 2007]


"[I'm] struggling, really, to be honest," Reggie Youngblood said on a 102-degree day in Georgia this summer. It was between songs during Black Kids' set at Athens Popfest, and the singer/guitarist's onstage banter wasn't sounding quite as sharp as his songwriting. The guitar-jangling, Jacksonville-based five-piece were hardly "struggling" musically, though: Eyewitness raves about the performance spread faster than you can say "Technorati," and positive notices soon followed from the NME, Vice, The Guardian, and, yes, Pitchfork. All this for a band with no announced label, or even much touring history.
