Daydream Nation! Be careful what you wish for, you might get it. Got Indie Art Rock? Clichés are often true. Often when you determinatively pursue something you arrive to find that it wasn’t all it was in your mind previously. That, in itself, should not be a big surprise. What did you think it was going to be? …No conflict, no interest. Metric’s new album is on the streets this month and your support for this band of scrappy, sexy (as most reviewers are prone to mention at least once in each review) gypsies has been incredible. Sold out shows from Toronto, Montreal, New York and Philli so far. More to come. Expect their new album to debut well on sales charts in the U.S. and Canada. According to plan almost…only 8 years in the making…Tricky Woo is out tearing up stages with C’Mon across the country. Their new album, “First Blush” is high on the College Charts and we are just getting started. America be warned, the Woo approaches…The new DFA79 remix album will hit stores this month as well. Put in the iPod, put on some jogging shoes, and watch 45 minutes fly by. This is dance album of the year material. DFA79 begins their tour with Queens of the Stoneage and Nine Inch Nails. I remember seeing Iggy Pop open for the Stones in 1981 – will the tallest band in rock n’ roll be dodging garbage bags or will they convert the unconvertible? Speaking of dance music, house masters MSTRKRFT have signed on with the LGR Nation and are about to bring some serious 4 ON THE FLOOR madness to your speakers. As many of you may know, MSTRKRFT consists of DFA79 bass player, Jesse F. Keeler and DFA79 producer AL P. Expect their first single/video out this year. Fuckin’ youth.
Your President.
