Catch up post: Headlights, Eels, Newislands
Taking a break from planning a showcase to tell you about….
The new Headlights song on RCRD LBL called Get Going. The song comes from Wildlife, the bands’ third album which was a difficult record to make according to the band. From troubles dealing with changing group dynamics, a lot of what was recorded was initially scrapped. But, now we’ve got a record and a tour. And a nice single to boot.
Eels were at Myspace Transmissions a little while ago. Head there to see a session recorded at the Village Recorder in LA (a classic studio used by Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd) of songs from the latest Eels offering Hombre Lobo and a Bob Dylan cover of ‘Girl From the North Country’. Check out the video for In My Dreams below.

And, the brand new band on my radar is Newislands. Don’t know a ton about this band from Northampton, UK but Dany blogged about them the other day and I was intrigued. Head to their myspace page and you’ll hear your new favorite song streaming. Its called Out Of Time.
Around the blogs (Grizzly Bear, Kings Of Leon, RAC, Phoenix, Dirty Projectors)
Do me a favour? While you’re out, would you mind heading to RCRD LBL and grabbing both the new Grizzly Bear track ‘Cheerleader‘ and RAC remix of ‘Use Somebody‘ by Kings of Leon? The former is good intro to Veckatimest and the later is a solid remix, but better, a different alternative to what we’re all hearing probably too much of on the radio. I’d get these myself, but I’m stuck in the office. Also, remember those pitas we had last weekend? Maybe another package of those…
and some milk.
Also, while I’m thinking about it, check in on Gorilla vs Bear to grab David Miller‘s (not this David Miller) remix of ‘1901‘ by Phoenix.
and finally, if you get a chance (sorry this is a lot to drop on you), enter your e-mail below to get a new track (‘Stillness Is The Move’) from buzz band The Dirty Projectors. Everyone and their mother’s uncle is telling me about this band.
