The Depreciation Guild, Dead Leaf Echo, and Luxa are playing this Thursday at The Bellhouse.
"In the shadow of the famous and brooding Kentile Floors sign in the burgeoning and classic neighborhood of Gowanus, The Bell House, a gorgeous new and unique music venue and lounge, opened its doors on September 18, 2008. The Bell House is a magnificent two-room music and events venue located at 149 7th Street between 2nd & 3rd Avenues. It was crafted out of an old 1920's warehouse once used as a printing press, but more recently used as a fly-by-night shipping company."
This will Be your last chance to see Dead Leaf Echo for awhile as they're taking a break until March. Luxa will also be taking a break until April to do some recording. The Depreciation Guild on the other hand is going on tour with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart in February.

Album of the Day...Arab Strap-Cherubs EP
5.1.09
from allmusic.com
The leadoff song from 2000's Elephant Shoe was issued as a four-song single in the U.K. and the U.S. "Cherubs" is typical Arab Strap, with a slow, simplistic drum-machine beat supported by Malcolm Middleton's fragile guitar work, a gorgeous sample of twinkling piano, and atmospheric shadings. Aidan Moffat's lyrics are surprisingly optimistic, relating a hallucinatory image of post-coital bliss. The three B-sides -- "Motown Answers," "An Eventful Day," and "Pulled" -- are definitely second-drawer material, for hardcore fans only. The video for the A-side is also included on Jetset's U.S. version; on Go Beat's U.K. edition, a cover of the "Ben Kenobi Theme" from Star Wars can be found by scrolling backwards from the first track. by Andy Kellman

Deep Cut to release debut album in February
2.1.09
Deep Cut, whom i've written about before, are releasing their debut album, My Thoughts Light Fires, on Club AC30 in February. Main man Mat Flint used to be in one of my favorite bands Revolver. Their excellent album, Cold Water Flat, is well worth seeking out. This is one band that is long overdo a reissue of some sort.
more about the new album from Deep Cut's myspace page...
Our debut album “My Thoughts Light Fires" is out on Monday 2nd February.
The album features ten tracks, and was recorded by our drummer Ian Button at the end of last year, in Vatican Studios and DCHQ in East London. It was mixed by the band in early 2008. The track listing is as follows:
1 Time To Kill
2 Thought Crimes
3 Failure To Bond
4 Commodity
5 Dead Man Walking
6 Just Chasing
7 Bullshit Detector
8 Freezer Burn
9 Automatic Instant
10 Rubbernecking
The album is released on 2nd February, but if you pre-order it will be shipped to you the week before, on 26th January. It costs £10 including postage.

Album of the Day...The Orb-The Dream
1.1.09
pitchfork slammed it. i thought it was their best album in years
from allmusic.com...
The Orb's 2005 classic on the Kompakt label -- aptly titled Okie Dokie It's the Orb on Kompakt -- easily proved that Dr. Alex Paterson and company could hang with the techno avant-garde of the new millennium, taking the minimalist blueprint of many who had followed the Orb and delivering a great record within that context. The follow-up The Dream is just as good, but in a completely different way. Ironically, it sounds more Orb-like than any other record they've done. (There's a certain inverse surprise in following the least likely record with the most likely.) The Orb's return to the green fields of sample-laden ambient-dub may not be welcome to all, but it's clear they've applied a few lessons learned from the Kompakt LP -- it's one of the best-produced of the Orb's career. Paterson returns not just with his own lofty production smarts, but with one of the other best British producers of the past 20 years, Youth, back on board for the first time since the dawn of the group. (The third member of this Orb is Dreadzone's Tim Bran.) The single "Vuja De" has everything in its right place: a bruising technoid bassline, clattering dubwise piano chords, and even an anthemic Eastern-styled female vocal that arrives at just the right time and works surprisingly well, despite its inherent poppiness. True to the title, the entire album is just as gloriously hazy as past Orb work. Granted, it rarely diverts from the pattern -- mind-expanding dub with excellent pacing and something always going on. (The "things" going on include, but aren't limited to, more vocal samples than any Orb album of the past; a ragga chatter named the Corpral popping up on several tracks; two different female vocalists, and Steve Hillage on guitar in four separate places). The Dream isn't just produced well but also programmed well, only slowing down after 73 minutes to a gradual halt on the dreamy underwater backbeats of "Codes" and the beatless closer "Orbisonia." After succeeding on someone else's terms, it's quite a feat to turn around and succeed on your own yet again.

Soundpool-Divides of March (Video)
sadly overlooked song from Soundpool's second album, Dichotomies and Dreamland (it was also a bonus track on the Japanese version of On High on Quince Records). it sort of got lost in the shuffle of being on two albums. shoulda-coulda-woulda been a hit...
filmed in Austin summer 2008
