New News and New Songs From Tegan and Sara

According to their website, Tegan and Sara’s newest album, Sainthood, is set to go on pre-sale today (album release 10/27).  With the album pre-sale, fans can also purchase three books chronicling the lives of the Indie rock darlings over a good portion of their tour in support of The Con and while they worked on Sainthood.  The books, titled On, In, and At, will also feature writing from openers such as Dallas Green, Northern State and An Horse, and photographs from Lindsey Byrnes and Ryan Russell.

The band premiered six songs from Sainthood last week at the Rifflandia Festival.  It sounds like Sainthood is set to be their best album yet!

I Heart Gossip

Can we all get together for coffee or something one day and talk about our deep, deep love for the Gossip?  Their new album was in my top three this summer and I have been having a pretty hardcore love affair with them (heavy petting and all) that they may, or may not know about.  Probs may not.  Anywho, I’m planning a much lengthier album review/declaration of my love, but for now I leave you with this lovely video to add a little musical sunshine to your Friday. Golden lipstick is magical, btw.

Bohemian Rhapsody On Atari And Scanner

That’s right, folks.  YouTube user, bd594, has taken a bunch of old computer parts and mechanical devices and turned their sounds into Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.  Bd594′s “band” includes an Atari 800XL for the lead piano/organ sound, a Texas Instruments TI-99/4a as lead guitar, an eight inch floppy disk at bass, a 3.5 inch hard drive as the gong, and an HP ScanJet 3C for all of the vocals (recorded four times over to get everything).  Clearly it’s not going to be pitch/tone perfect, but it’s pretty damn cool regardless.  Check it out -

Röyksopp Brings Robyn To First TV Appearance In Years

Röyksopp hasn’t had a television appearance in seven years, so I guess if you’re going to make a comeback, you might as well do it right. The Norwegian duo teamed with Robyn at Senkveld to perform the track that she guests on, The Girl And The Robot. Enjoy.

RUN-DMC Week Rewind

Okay, so I basically failed at RUN-DMC week. Sorry kids, got busy and didn’t have time to post on Thursday or Friday. Here’s some RUN-DMC love to make up for it. Please don’t stop loving me, it would kill my self esteem!
