I’ve done my part supporting National Record Store Day. I bought the Laurel Canyon Soundtrack (used), MC Mastercuts presents The Essential Funkadelic and MC Mastercuts Presents Sly In The Family Stone at Amoeba Records in Hollywood. It’s a bit crowded, but that’s the point. Amoeba has such a great environment. They have DJ sets by Wendy and Lisa and DJ Babu, plus live T-shirt silk-screening by Family Industries until 6pm today.

Drop by and support one of the following participating Indie Record Stores:
Atomic Records (Burbank), Bombass Muzik, Buffalo Records (Ventura), Fat Beats, Freakbeat Records (Sherman Oaks), Headline Records, Midnight Records, Origami Vinyl, Penny Lane Records (Pasadena), Rockaway Records, V.I.P. Records (Long Beach), VIP Music, Vision Records.

Drive-By Truckers frontman Patterson Hood is streaming two new songs from his solo album, Murdering Oscar – due out June 23rd. Head over to his Myspace page to stream the tracks (click here).

The Drive-By Truckers are playing twice tomorrow at Coachella. One as DBT and the other backing Booker T. for his set. I plan on catching both.

Stereogum is offering a new track from former Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker from his upcoming album, Further Complications. I love it!!

Release Date May 19th – via Rough Trade.

Deerhunter have offered a new track off of their forthcoming Rainwater Cassette Exchange EP, due out June 8th on Kranky. Very strong!
