Rules To Rock By / Deerhoof Cover LiLiPUT’s “Hitch Hike”
Rules To Rock By
Press release information:
Rules to Rock By is a new book by author and musician Josh Farrar for young adults about fictional teen band The Bungles who’s founder Annabelle Cabrera is inspired by the very real band Deerhoof (who also make a fictional cameo at the beginning of the book!). This incredible story encourages kids to pursue music, and is accompanied by an equally amazing soundtrack with contributions by talented teen and adult musicians. It includes a cover of Swedish band LiLiPUT’s track “Hitch Hike” by Deerhoof who were happy to participate and support kids in pursuing music. Other tracks off the soundtrack feature the book’s fictional band The Bungles, performing covers and original tracks by real teen band Blame the Patient, described by The New York Times as “effective miners of late-’80s and early-’90s indie rock with a ferocious lead guitarist, Hunter Lombard, and a kinetic lead singer, Sofie Kapur.”

The Secret History / You Must Buy This Album
The Secret History recently released the album The World That Never Was, and I was extremely impressed. Fans of The Smiths might like them. M83 fans should check them out for sure. In fact, I'll be general and say that fans of "alternative" music from the '80s will like them. The record didn't leave my player for weeks. It's a modern day classic - TRUST.
Here's a live version of "Johnny Nightmare"

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion Reissues
May 18 will see the release of two classic Jon Spencer Blues Explosion albums on CD. The live album Controversial Negro, previously available as a promotional LP, is remastered and expanded to 29 tracks; and the remastered Now I Got Worry in its gatefold sleeve, doubles the original running time with 32 tracks. Both titles come with artwork and an essay along with original liner notes.
Buy them. Seriously. This is one of the greatest rocknroll bands of all time.
"Wail" from "Now I Got Worry"
Trivia:
The title Controversial Negro was taken from the Public Enemy song “Burn Hollywood Burn.”

Amazing Record Store Day Antics From Jack White's Third Man
From Third Man:
Saturday April 17th is Record Store Day, and being how we’re a record store and we dig vinyl we’ll be participating with a cavalcade of activity here at TMR HQ in Nashville Tennessee.
Like live concerts, limited edition records, BBQ, awesome band memorabilia, and good times? Well, Check it out...
To celebrate the re-release of The Raconteurs debut LP Broken Boy Soldiers there will be 300 Copper Colored Record Store Day limited editions. Plus, Brendan Benson and Patrick Keeler along with some friends will be performing Raconteurs songs here at Third Man as the Racontwoers. Attendees to the show will also be eligible for more exclusive vinyl in the form of our second Black and Blue release of the performance.
But before that all kicks off, we’ll have the three remaining Go Karts from the Steady As She Goes video here on display and for a small fee you can have a Polaroid picture taken with them. However, even more exciting is that if you buy any piece of Raconteurs merchandise in our shop, you will receive a raffle ticket to enter to win either Brendon Benson’s or Jack Lawrence’s Go Kart. You win it, it’s yours, take it home! There will be no limit on the amount of tickets you can buy...
Now what of the third Go Kart, Jack White’s very own Copper Kid? Well, this mean machine will be auctioned off to the highest bidder with all proceeds to benefit the Nashville Homeless Mission. It’s a good cause, so bid high people!
All that and BBQ, Popsicles from Las Paletas, DJs and much more!
Third Man Records
623 7th Avenue South

12-2 Shop is open to buy your copper colored BBS record and any other sweet vinyl and novelties...

Free Amanda Palmer, Actually She's Free and Celebrating
You may donate money to download the new Amanda Palmer song "The Truth" or pay nothing.
From Amanda Palmer's blog:
FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST (Dear Roadrunner Records…)
dear The World,
i am very happy to announce today that i have finally been released from my contract with roadrunner records.
as many of you know, i’ve been fighting very, very hard to get off the label for the better part of two years.
for the past seven years, anything i have written and recorded (solo or with my band, The Dresden Dolls) has technically been owned and under the ultimate control of the label, but no longer.
after endless legal bullshit, it’s over, i’ve been DROPPED, RELEASED, LET GO, whatever you wanna call it. in other words: i am FREE AT LAST!!!!!! RAAHH!!
as many of you know, i’ve been a very vocal advocate of artists being fearless in asking their audience and supporters for direct financial help.
i come from a background of grassroots theater and street performance, and i think that artists should feel no shame while passing the hat around once they’ve entertained a crowd of people.
it’s been a huge and obvious irony that i have been legally unable to ask for money for my music, since it’s been verboten by my contract with roadrunner.
now that i’m unshackled, i plan on doing a lot of really awesome and creative things with my songs and how people can pay for them - or, better yet, donate - now that i have control over my stuff.
a lot of people have asked me if i have any regrets about signing with a major label. the answer: no.
below you will find a goodbye letter i have written to roadrunner.
for right now & in celebration of this great event, i am very pleased to be able to - for the first time since the year 2003 - offer you this track from my house to yours….legally and free of charge.
if you should feel inclined to “donate” more than the bare minimum (ZERO/FREE), you can do that too.
even if you only donate a symbolic dollar, i’ll see every single cent of it (after paypal transaction fees, of course).
i wrote this song a few months ago, and didn’t know it would be used for this purpose, but it’s pretty perfect.
nobody had heard it up until a few days ago except for neil gaiman (my man) and tom dickins (my dear australian friend)…i played it for them in my house right after i wrote it.
they liked it, so i’m gonna give it to you…BECAUSE I CAN. (can you visualize me doing my happy crack dance as i write this??)
last friday, i booked an afternoon in my friend owen’s cambridge recording studio and recorded it with the help of my friends jason webley (who’s in town for our upcoming EVELYN EVELYN tour) on guitar and my friend sam kulik (who had unwittingly texted that morning to see if we wanted lunch. we asked him to come over and play trombone. he did! sam rocks.)
this whole exercise may not seem like a big deal to you (artists put up music for free all the time), but for years i have not legally been allowed to put a song on a website and say: I JUST DID THIS, GO DOWNLOAD IT. it’s been illegal. i am so happy i can finally make music and just GIVE IT AWAY.
SO GO TAKE IT, PLEASE.
From Amanda Palmer's blog:
FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST (Dear Roadrunner Records…)
dear The World,
i am very happy to announce today that i have finally been released from my contract with roadrunner records.
as many of you know, i’ve been fighting very, very hard to get off the label for the better part of two years.
for the past seven years, anything i have written and recorded (solo or with my band, The Dresden Dolls) has technically been owned and under the ultimate control of the label, but no longer.
after endless legal bullshit, it’s over, i’ve been DROPPED, RELEASED, LET GO, whatever you wanna call it. in other words: i am FREE AT LAST!!!!!! RAAHH!!

Coton Candy
Cotton Candy / Ron Howard and Clint Howard. I have this cult classic gem VHS, but I really want it on DVD. Can't someone hook me up?
The Dead Weather Teaser
Jack White with a glimmer in his eye at the thought of a new band? Probably not, but funny none the less.
