Over at Stereogum you can here the first single off of Fucked Up's upcoming album David Comes To Life. The song itself is entited 'The Other Shoe'.

I was late to the Fucked Up Party, only getting into them after The Chemistry of Modern Life came out and seeing them perform live at Sala. I was always into the blend of aggression/energy and melodicism they are able to put across without sounding forced.

If this new track is any indication, the new album is something for which to get excited. There is a huge amount of stuff going on filling up the stereo space (I listened through headphones, I recommend this approach). The drums are huge, Damien is tuneful as ever in his screaming, and the guitars are beautifully ragged. The band is definitely evolving without forcing changes to their sound. 

No show this week, but expect to hear 'The Other Shoe' sometime soon on Acetate Gratified.

Anyone involved in home music production can relate to this. Driving is a great way to feel out your mixes.

This weekend the Foo Fighters played a secret club show (oooooh) in Santa Barbara, previewing their new album in entirety. 

Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYjaTOXWuWY&feature=player_embedded

The new album was tracked in Dave Grohl's garage entirely on analog gear. I'm intrigued by what is to come from the Foos after the last few years, which have been largely disappointing. 

Stereogum has the skinny on new Tim Hecker, Montreal's own guru of all that is ambient. Check it out here.

I think most people could get behind this regardless of their background. Gear up, let's get festive.

Burn To Shine is an interesting project conceived by Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty and a person named Christopher Green, who is a filmmaker about whom I know nothing. 
 
The premise is to film bands performing in a house that is soon to be demolished. Each event is curated by a key musician from the local music scene in the community of the event, choosing home-grown acts to perform. 
 
Here's a link to a clip of Tortoise from Volume 2 in Chicago. Each volume is for sale at the Trixie Film website. 
 

So I guess I should start blogging again... the powers that be are encouraging us all to do so. Thus I present to you this:
David Lynch is releasing a solo album. Of course he is. It's produced by Sparklehorse and a few others. There's another track kicking around as well, it's a bit darker. Craziness.
