Think your holiday was solid? Greg Weeks and his cohorts in cine-freaky The Valerie Project had their album's big time 7.5 review sitting on the front page of Pitchfork from last Wednesday through to early this morning. Stuff that in your vampire turkey and cook it.
Meanwhile, Plastic Little spent last week traveling the King's highways and byways over in England, conquering trans-Atlantic audiences as they build up hype for their third single, "I'm Not A Thug", out December 10th. Pre-order now to get in on some of that sweet signed poster action. And London readers, please PLEASE tell us that at least one of you went to this. We can only imagine.
The 'Stamps boys are always huge fans of songs that reference natural disasters, but the recent tradgedy in Bangladesh has made Baby Bash's "Cyclone" a bit too guilty of a pleasure to enjoy in the short term. Thank god for local party-starters Gang. Their newest tune, "Earthquake It", was just recently added to their MySpace page, and can be relished completely free of any major current events stigma.
Don't say we didn't warn ya. Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings are at the TLA in just about three weeks, making their first proper Philly showing since, get this, the Five Spot back in 2002. Our call: brace for an early sell-out. This thing is like Making Time with Hot Chip for the XPN membership subscription crowd, so we highly suggest picking up your tix in advance. David Dye has a posse, and they will swarm on command.
