Stung
There weren’t a ton of new releases that knocked me off of my feet. Metric’s album Fantasies is decent; Bill Callahan, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Easy Star All-Stars and Grand Duchy (Franck Black) albums were average.
I’m a sucker for Zeppelin and Hendrix throwback rock ‘n’ roll. Austin-based band Radio Moscow does a fine job replicating the sound. Their album Brain Cycles isn’t breaking new ground, but it rocks. The group reminds me a little bit of White Denim without the experimentation.
Jason Quever is the man behind Papercuts. You may recognize Quever’s name as he is a guest member of Vetiver and Beach House. He’s also produced for Casiotone For the Painfully Alone, Cass McCombs and Donkeys.

Justice served in Los Angeles.
From Solomon Moore and Randal C. Archibold of New York Times
Phil Spector, the rock music impresario behind such hits such as “Da Doo Ron Ron,” “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling” and “Be My Baby,” was found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of an actress at his mansion in 2003, after a night of drinking.

Mr. Spector, 69, faces a possible 18 years to life in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for May 29.The jury reached its decision after deliberating whether one of the recording industry’s best-known producers shot the woman in a fit of anger or, as his lawyers argued, merely witnessed the woman’s suicide.

2009 Lineup
I’m not sure what to make of this year’s Outside Lands Festival lineup versus 2008’s lineup. I know times are tough, but are the Black Eyed Peas, Jason Mraz and Incubus worthy of being headliners? How about Tom Jones?????? I’m going to reserve comment on DMB, Pearl Jam and Beastie Boys, they all had a place in my heart once – a long time ago. Ultimately festivals are about people having fun and enjoying the music they love, but if you ask me this event went in the wrong direction with their choice of headliners. On a positive note the following bands are playing – Deerhunter, Atmosphere, Band Horses, Blind Pilot, Q-Tip, Calexico, Dead Weather, Heartless Bastards, Silversun Pickups, Akron/Family, The Duke Spirit, Thievery Corporation and The Morning Benders.
