Yeasayer will release their new single "Ambling Alp" November 3. It was a crowd pleaser at the Pitchfork Festivasl, as well as on their tour supporting Bat For Lashes. It's the first single from their new album Odd Blood, which will be released in February. The single will be released as a limited 12" vinyl featuring remixes by Memory Tapes and DJ /rupture. It will also be released digitally.

They are not my cup of tea and I suspect at least one of them smells of patchouli, but decide for yourself.

Getcher FREE Download Here: Star and Micey
I have one CD and several downloads to give away for the brand nee Star and Micey album, Star and Micey. Below you'll find a couple of videos to sample and a couple of reviews to see what the ever present "they" are saying. All you have to do is be among the first to comment on this post. And please be sure I have a way to contact you to have the label mail out the prize, or send a download code. (If you do not want your info published - no worries I'll gladly delete it and make sure you get your prize).
The self titled album from Memphis band Star and Micey was just released. It includes appearances by Jody Stephens (Big Star), Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars, The Black Crowes), and Rick Steff (Lucero, Cat Power).
What the press is saying:
“In the studio, magic happened - the band's self-titled debut is a
blend of Memphis soul, lo-fi indie rock and singer-songwriter
introspection. Cosby's wide-eyed optimism shines through like chips of
ice flecking a windowpane in the deep still of winter. With help from
Luther Dickinson of The Black Crowes and the North Mississippi
Allstars and Jody Stephens of the pioneering outfit Big Star, the band
has delivered a record that hums with unflappable faith.” – The Daily
Times
"What will you get from Star & Micey? Terrific folk-infused pop music
that’s melodic and infectious. Their tunes feel like intimate personal
missives, but the personal touch is always light and upbeat. These
guys are singing their blues and sending them out into the world, and
the song that emerges is worth checking out.” – Times of Acadiana

The Mighty Boosh Begin Work On New Film
According to BBC Newsbeat, Noel Fielding has said fans of The Mighty Boosh can expect new material in 2010. At the premiere of Bunny and the Bull, (a film by Boosh director Paul King, in which Fielding and Julian Barratt have small parts), Fielding delighted fans with a small tidbit of information. He was quoted as saying, "We're writing a film at the moment and an album, so hopefully next year. Both of those things." Beyond that Fielding is saying nothing, except about the subject of not spilling the beans, saying, "I've got to stop doing that. I've been stung too many times."
The other half of The Mighty Boosh's writing team, Julian Barratt expanded the news a bit revealing, "We've been very inspired by this [Bunny and the Bull] because we've been doing the show and touring a lot and we've finally got round to writing. We try and do, on TV, quite magical epic journeys and we thought if you're doing a film we should really do it in one room, basically just kind of a sitcom for 90 minutes. So we might do that. We might do exactly what we didn't do on TV."
The brilliant comedy partners have not gone their separate ways just yet, as has been feared by fans. Barrett confirmed the bond by stating, "We're still together. It's like we're twins, we're kind of symbiotically linked... if he drinks I get drunk. Like E.T. and Elliott."
In order to promote the paperback version of their new book, The Pocket Book of Boosh, the duo reportedly plan a sack race for fans in Glasgow. The hardcover version, The Mighty Book of Boosh is highly entertaining and well worth the money. I'm sure the "pocket book" will be the same, but, well, smaller.
The album and film are great news, as The Mighty Boosh over the past few years has become my favorite form of entertainment - period. I only wish the cast had done a proper live tour of The United States. Comicon was such a tease. The thought of seeing Old Greg live is almost to delightful to bear.
