  • Pitchfork.tv: Liz Phair: Guyville Redux (One Week Only)

    We're taking the holiday off (be safe with the fireworks, kids), but we'll leave you with another feature film on Pitchfork.tv. If you've been paying any attention lately, you may have noticed that Chicago singer-songwriter Liz Phair just reissued her classic 1993 album, Exile in Guyville. To coincide with the release, Phair has created the documentary Guyville Redux, in which she revisits some of the people and places that brought her record to life. The film features interviews with Matador Records' Gerard Cosloy and Chris Lombardi, Steve Albini, NPR's Ira Glass, and even Chicago's favorite son John Cusack-- with an introduction by ATO Records' founder Dave Matthews. Catch it while you can, over the holiday weekend and through next week, on Pitchfork.tv's "One Week Only."

  • The Pitchfork Guide to Upcoming Releases: Summer '08

    Welcome once again to the Pitchfork Guide to Upcoming Releases, our seasonal guide to upcoming releases! This installment covers a wide swath of the crucial cuts you'll be jamming on through the summer and into the fall, from LPs and EPs to singles and music-related DVDs of note.

    Compiling such a list isn't easy in this day and age, with different release dates for digital and physical versions of albums, as well as different release dates for different countries. So we tried to stick with North American physical release dates as much as possible, with exceptions as noted. When an album's North American release date differs from its overseas one, we also made a note of that. Keep in mind that release dates are as shifty as manual transmission, and any one of these is subject to change at any moment.

  • Pitchfork.tv: July 3: Stephen Malkmus / Xiu Xiu / Asobi Seksu / Free Blood

    In one fortnight, we here at Pitchfork (and hopefully you, too, dear reader) will congregate in Chicago's Union Park for the annual Pitchfork Music Festival. To get your appetite whetted for what promises to be the most mind-blowingly awesome festival of the summer, we're taking a peek back at last year's event, when Pavement mastermind Stephen Malkmus wowed the crowd with the opening track from their classic album, Wowee Zowee.



    We've also added a few more videos to our ever-expanding archive, and today Pitchfork.tv premiered the newest video from Portland art-rockers Xiu Xiu. This black and white clip for "Master of the Bump (Kurt Stumbaugh, I Can Feel the Soil Falling Over My Head)" features some gender-skewing roles, a little S&M, and a couple of uncomfortable scenes of violent lovemaking. A perfect way to start your holiday weekend.



    Next up is the colorful video for Asobi Seksu's "Goodbye", which melds the irresistable strains of the Brooklyn trio's shoegaze with kaleidoscopic images of origami papers, and sends singer Yuki Chikudate on a bizarre voyage through a world built of paper flowers.



    Finally we have the melodramatic clip for "Royal Family" from ex-!!! member John Pugh's Free Blood project. Some apocalyptic percussion-- heavy drums, clanging metal, sparse piano, and handclaps-- form the basis of this track, while the video marries surrealist images of a woman in a Victorian armory-cum-recording studio with shots of Pugh in the middle of a desert. But keep watching and you realize that maybe these two locations aren't so far apart after all.

  • The Zombies Invade North America Tonight

    You know, for a bunch of dead guys...well, anyway. Legendary psych-pop troupe the Zombies, having recently wrapped a good sized UK tour, will hit the road tonight (July 3) in North America.

    Anchored by founding members Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent, the lineup for these tours varies slightly from the more reunion-y shows the boys did to fete the 40th anniversary of their still-striking Odessey and Oracle LP last year. The current touring roster is rounded out by Rod's former Argent bandmate Jim Rodford on bass, Jim's son Steve Rodford on drums, and guitarist Keith Airey. Also note that Argent and Blunstone have been "collaborating on new studio material" under the Zombies umbrella. Fingers crossed for another Odessey, or, at least, something a fair sight better than 2004's As Far I Can See...

  • Mastodon and Slayer Tour Together Again

    Photo by Sung Kim

    The more things change, eh? Mastodon may be kicking it with the Boss and recording their Blood Mountain follow-up with nü-metal production king Brendan O'Brien, but they'll reach into the past to rekindle their touring partnership with Slayer this fall.

    Slayer and Mastodon previously joined forces on the first two installments of the "Unholy Alliance Tour", so it's only appropriate that their new dates together are being billed as the "Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter III". Trivium will also play all dates on the tour.

    For now, the "Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter III" is a European affair, but more dates are still to be announced.

    Both Mastodon and Slayer have shows apart this summer.

  • Golden Animals - "Try On Me" (mp3)
  • Slightly Stoopid - One Loyal Cadre
    Somewhere between authentic dub reggae and California surf-inspired melodic structures, Slightly Stoopid has carved out a successful niche with an independent music model that is clearly more than slightly stupid.
  • Widespread Panic - Pine Mountain Ampitheater, Flagstaff, AZ 6/25/08
    Widespread Panic has held onto their fan base, keeping things comfortable and doing what they do best – not being trendy. The fans still hoot at the top of their lungs during “Love Tractor” and Widespread Panic still appears to be having tons of fun. Keep throwing those curveballs.

  • Fourth Songs for the Fourth

    We've all seen the scene in High Fidelity where John Cusack and his record- store cohorts rattle off their favorite album openers of all time. And certainly, music history has more than its share of epic LP closers. But the impending fireworks and festive gorging of Independence Day got us thinking: What about lonely little track four?

    It's not even distinguishable as the segue cut from one side of vinyl to the other. But if one were analogizing it to a baseball lineup, it would be the cleanup hitter of a record, the song that drives an album out of the park after its threesome of predecessors load the bases with build-up and anticipation.

    And it is in that spirit that we present to you quartets of its favorite fourth tracks. (And yes, we heart Pavement.) Enjoy, and happy holidaze. KENNY HERZOG

    Charles Aaron, Music Editor

    -- Labi Siffre, "I Got The" (The Best of Labi Siffre) Brandy snifter funk, with a bass line that convinced millions of little white boys they could rap -- except, they couldn't.
    -- Evie Sands, "Any Way That You Want Me" (Any Way That You Want Me): There's a reason she was Dusty Springfield's favorite singer, and it's that lump in your throat, kid.
    -- Big Star, "Thirteen" (#1 Record): Because it even inspired a hardened alt-rock machine pol like Shirley Manson to become a vulnerable human being.
    -- Oasis, "Don't Look Back in Anger" ((What's the Story) Morning Glory): Obviously, for the melodic originality and lyrical ingenuity -- ahhhhh, foook aahhhhfff!! Get them hands up, mate!!

    Peter Gaston, Interactive Director

    -- The White Stripes, "I Just Don't Know What to Do" (Elephant): Only because it's exactly what I'm feeling about this 4th of July weekend.
    -- Smashing Pumpkins, "Hummer" (Siamese Dream): Quoted it my senior yearbook, and I love the cojones on Corgan for dropping a seven-minute fuzzfest that early in a tracklisting.
    -- Hot Chip, "Over and Over" (The Warning): The mantra repeated by diminutive Hot Chip frontgeek Alexis Taylor, "Laid back, laid back," never fails to bring a grin to my chin.
    -- Fleetwood Mac, "Rhiannon" (Fleetwood Mac): No band embodies this time of year like the Mac. That Fender Rhodes melody makes me want to sell my worldly possessions, buy a gas-guzzling '70s convertible, and drive to Los Angeles -- only to make it as far as Tennessee, thanks to gas prices being four bucks a gallon.

    Steve Kandell, Deputy Editor

    -- Bob Dylan, "From a Buick 6" (Highway 61 Revisited)
    -- Pavement, "Cut Your Hair" (Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain)
    -- Pixies, "Wave of Mutilation" (Doolittle)
    -- Sebadoh, "Liscence to Confuse" (Bakesale)

    William Goodman, Online Editorial Assistant

    --The Breeders, "The She" (Title TK): "Smoked the Bible, rolled it up," sings Kim Deal over a rumble of Moog and drums. Enough said.
    -- Wilco, "Muzzle of Bees" (A Ghost is Born): Plucking acoustics and buzzing electrics build to swirling, boggling, and simply heavenly heights -- ideal for lightning bug-filled, lakeside romps.
    -- Pavement, "In the Mouth of a Desert" (Slanted and Enchanted): Lackadaisical Malkmus at his best, here, even setting the tone for the future of hip-hop-like silliness: "I'm going to treat it like an oil well, put it underground out of sight."
    -- Sonic Youth, "Cross the Breeze" (Daydream Nation): Breezy, flanged opening guitars segue to chugging, banging riffs and Kim Gordon's sultry hushes -- a summertime staple for any rock fan.

    Abby Everdell, Editorial Assistant

    -- Animal Collective, "The Purple Bottle" (Feels): "Can I tell you that you are the purple in me?" Best love song ever.
    -- Joanna Newsom, "Only Skin" (Ys): It took me at least a dozen listens to understand all the words of this 17-minute album crescendo, and at least half of them left me in tears.
    -- Pavement, "Stop Breathin" (Crooked Rain Crooked Rain): I challenge you to not start screaming along with this chorus.
    -- Television, "Marquee Moon" (Marquee Moon): Not only is this riff absolutely immortal, but nothing compares to the moment at 8:40 when it explodes into a sparkly orgasm.

    Kenny Hezog, Online Contributing Editor

    -- Built to Spill, "Car" (There's Nothing Wrong with Love): When Doug Martsch sang, "I want to see movies of my dreams," it felt like someone finally understood me. Then again, I usually have horrifying nightmares.
    -- Black Sabbath, "Iron Man" (Paranoid): The definitive metal track may have been abused for a movie of the same name, but it's still the reason evil exists in popular culture.
    -- Bruce Springsteen, "Candy's Room" (Darkness on the Edge of Town): Any real fan has this at the top of their live-set wish list. Possibly Bruce's most punk rock moment.
    -- The Clash, "Hateful" (London Calling): The song that really gets the rhythm rolling on one the best punk record of the last 30 years.
