Links for a day…(vol. 134): US appeal, Jon’s SA photos, Wurlitzer, Lego

Posted on February 21, 2012 by admin
  • Gun Shy Assassin have issued a heartfelt plea for Faith No More to tour the US:
    “You wouldn’t even have to hit the secondary markets. Hit the majors — Boston, Washington D.C., Chicago, Atlanta, Minnesota, Houston and Dallas, Nashville, Tucson, Las Vegas (or Reno, if Vegas repulses you as much as it does me), Seattle, and maybe Boise, Portland, or Denver or some shit — and the people will come to you. Seriously. And you could even spread those dates out…over fucking months if you wanted. It could be like a year-long tour, and you could just play like two shows every three weeks or so.”
  • Jon Hudson has showcased some great photos of the South American tour 2011 on his Facebook page. Go check them out and go Like:

  • Listen to Roddy’s Imperial Teen‘s fifth album Feel the Sound in its entirety here at Spin. Feel the Sound is out January 31 on Merge – pre-order here.
  • A great interview with Bill Gould from Free Gotham magazine from June 1997 has resurfaced this week. Sample quote: “The way we work musically is a democracy. This process is a little harder because the album needs to be worked out to everyone’s satisfaction. As members of the band, we all realize there is a need to compromise, but at that same time there is also the desire to be able to exercise your own artistic vision.”
  • More on Sonisphere France. Nothing confirmed yet but the Faith No More, Slash and Queen rumour first appeared in December on the Sonisphere forums.
  • Mondo Cane do Yeah at the Sydney Summer Sounds
