RecaPitulation: Pelican, Jesus Lizard, Breeders, Gogol Bordello, Mount Eerie

Pelican open wide with a new song from their just-finished LP … the Lizard and Danzig finally have something in common: a “Mother” of a music festival … Josephine Wiggs re-emerges with the Breeders … Gogol line up a gazillion tour dates … plus Spindrift, 3 Inches of Blood and the return of a ’90s band you’d probably just as rather forget about.

Deerhoof picture themselves alongside the Stones … Horrors go Manic … a new VU tome is on the way … Torche help Save Our State Parks … Do Make Say Think speak up … CMJ gets Pissed … the grossest track list of the month (or year) is revealed … plus we give a random assist to LeBron James, and more.

The Icarus Line and Maroon 5 have something in common (no, this isn’t a Buddyhead prank) … like a bad penny, Big Black turn up in a new documentary … members of No Age and Mika Miko get the acting bug … Motörhead and Reverend Horton Heat team up, and so do Ween and Meat Puppets … plus Kylesa, Pyramids and the upcoming album that is totally bumming us out.

Our Tee Pee pals are pitching a tent at All Tomorrow’s Parties … a Dub Narcotic Sound System alum leaves his nest … Aquarius Records bust out their latest picks … we post some amusing pics and video … and we’ve also gotta be the only ones out there who are interested in both Laswell and 3IOB.

We’ve been scoffing down the new No Age EP and Mountain Goats LP this morning - and we know how you can hear one of them for free … Cass McCombs’ enchanting new project is ready to set sail with a series of shows … plus our first-ever coverage of an Afro-funk album, Far East monsters do battle and more.

RecaPitulation: Los Campesinos!, Job For A Cowboy, Merge Records

We would give our left arm for the farmers’ upcoming box set … Job for a Cowboy do a good job on the charts … treat yourself to a delicious download from Shonen Knife … plus T.C. Boyle, Jimmy Carter and Meat Puppets. Yes, really.

Brooklyn gets all the luck (thanks, Grizzlys) … Crystal Castles give White Lies a bionic boost … plus Greymachine, Job for a Cowboy, the Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza and more …
