Minus The Bear are self-releasing a new EP, Acoustics, on October 8th. The record features seven acoustic tracks, spanning across the band’s back catalog. Acoustics will be posted online but the band will have physical copies with them for their fall tour. Check the dates and the tracklisting after the jump.
Crime In Stereo have posted a track “Everywhere And All The Time” from their rarities album Selective Wreckage on MySpace. That album is out Sept. 30th and according to the Bridge Nine Blog, they will start selling the re-issue of The Troubled Stateside on vinyl tomorrow.
The title track of the new Jenny Lewis album Acid Tongue can be heard over at NPR’s “All Things Considered” website.
Seattle post-hardcore shredders These Arms Are Snakes have posted “Red Line Season” from their Suicide Squeeze debut. They also announced a split 7″ with Minus The Bear will be forthcoming.
Dave Knudson and the Minus The Bear crew have created the finest game of imaginary basketball ever with their video for ”Throwin Shapes.” Enjoy the knee-socked shenanigans here.
I wonder what Bonnaroo‘s people were thinking when they couldn’t get Led Zeppelin to play. ‘Well, hmm, they just aren’t budging with our multi-bazillion dollar offer? Bring in the lesbian version pronto!’ Actually, on a sidenote, I don’t think any of the girls in Lez Zeppelin are in fact lesbians. I also love how some editor at the AP, who probably didn’t have his late night coffee intake at full capacity, saw the Lez and screamed Led!
No big shocker among the headlining acts Pearl Jam, Metallica and Kanye West, but some of LNWF’s favorite bands are there, such as Against Me!, Battles, Minus The Bear and Mastodon.
Check out the rest of the lineup after the jump.
