 Band of the day
“We never broke up,” exclaims Shai Hulud guitarist and founding member Matt Fox. “[Bassist] Matt Fletcher and I never said we were hanging this up.” Instead of making new Shai Hulud music 24/7, Fox and Fletcher were working on the Zombie Apocalypse side project, touring overseas, parting ways with vocalist Geert Van Der Velde, and searching for members to fill out vacant slots; all while writing and demoing Misanthropy Pure, their Metal Blade Records debut. So, don’t call it a comeback. It’s not a reunion. It’s an emergence from a hibernation that included plenty of activity. Shai Hulud have returned to the forefront of a scene they helped create. While the current “metalcore” climate has a blueprint that was co-authored by Shai Hulud, the band isn’t content to rest on past triumphs, namely the ...

It seems that as long as there's been an internet, there's been conflict regarding piracy. Recently a video has been making the rounds in various internet circles called The Pirate's Dilemma. If you haven't seen it, go ahead and give it a quick view before we continue. (video after the break)

Tags: The Sun Smells Too Loud, The Hawk Is Howling, Mogwai 
You may or may not be aware but Mogwai is getting set to release a new album called The Hawk Is Howling. My love for Mogwai grows with every album and this one will most likely be the same. They have officially "leaked" a track from the album and it's called "The Sun Smells Too Loud". Prepare for a slightly different sound than you may be used to. Here it is. Enjoy.

Tags: Pre-Millennium Tension, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Portishead, Massive Attack, Tom Waits, Tricky, Knowle West Boy 
It seems it's been a while since Tricky has brought down the walls with any new music. In fact you could argue that the Bristol-based trip hop icon hasn't done anything worth mentioning since 1996's Pre-Millennium Tension. Well, he does have a new album coming out this month called Knowle West Boy but even more interesting he has told Uncut Magazine that Tom Waits has invited Tricky to collaborate with him. Now that would be one interesting project and something that might bring Tricky back into the limelight.

Tags: Saul Williams, Shannon Mcardle, Rocket Attack, Noa Babayof, World on Wheels, Poison My Cup, The Man From The Moon, Indian Queen Every day I get a lot of "free" mp3s sent to me in hopes of securing a review or a feature of their band. A time comes when you just ignore a lot of these requests because you just end up gettin WAY too many. I thought it might be a good blog entry if I posted a handful of them up here for you to check out and let us know what we should be covering.

Tags: Radiohead, Pablo Honey, Hail To The Thief
After sifting through the shelves of Princeton's Record Exchange in New Jersey, I saw a common trend in Radiohead records: they were all price over $50. Even Pablo Honey; I mean, c'mon now. But vinyl lovers shouldn't fret much longer, according to Insound. All your Radiohead favorites, from Pablo Honey to Hail to the Thief, can now be spinning on your turntable, for the somewhat reasonable price range of $17.99-$23.99. Hipsters, don't get too excited just yet, because they aren't going to be released until August 19, so for now you'll have to listen to Radiohead on...CD. What a nightmare.
