Young People – “Forget”
Young People - After many, many days of a very premature summer, the clouds gathered in the skies over Baltimore, threatening a much-needed torrential downpour. Indeed, preemptive headaches and upside-down leaves foretold the outcome of the day, as chilly breezes blew suddenly humid air alongside Sunday traffic, while pedestrians unsheathed umbrellas and darted frantically to their cars.

Arctic Monkeys – I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor
The Arctic Monkeys are undoutably the biggest band from England right now. I did went to see them play live here and I was actually more impressed with their opening band, Be Your Own Pet, which are a few underage kids (the youngest being 18 years old). But what they offer is a little showmenship, as they jump and dance around as they sing (I mean, scream) their songs.

The Auteurs – Car Crazy
Anyroad, for our road trip this weekend, I thought I'd leave you with some Luke Haines car songs. Luke Haines has been around forever, I met and interview him during The Auteurs' "Now I'm a Cowboy" tour and have been following his career ever since. He joined in Black Box Recorder, which had some minor success. He's currently a solo artist (I believe he's still doing random gigs in England & Ireland).

News: The Pipettes Announced North American Tour
Everybody's favorite girl-trio just announced their North American tour and special US-only EP. And guess what ???? They are NOT SKIPPING MINNESOTA! Unbelievable! The 7th Street Entry is a TINY venue, there's probably only a maximum of 200 people in before they break some sort of fire code.

DJ Shadow – Stem (Cops ‘N’ Robbers mix)
DJ Shadow (Josh Davis) is a mixer and turntable artist out in Davis, California. Somehow amazingly enough, in 1995, he made this little album called Endtroducing... (released in 1996), which consists of nothing but sampled music (it made it into the Guinness World Records for "First Completely Sampled Album" for their 2001 edition). I'm sure, around this time, there were other experimental sampling artists out there, but DJ Shadow is recognized as the first. There is even a book about it from 33 1/3 Series
