Above and below respectively : from last night, Belle and Sebastian performing "Allie" and "Sukie In The Graveyard", the former culled from 'Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance', the latter from 'The Life Pursuit" and a non-broadcast web exclusive taped for Monday's "Late Night With Seth Meyers". Seth's other guests were Maya Rudolph and the guy who played king-of-the-wolves on "True Blood", which is a big step up from the time one of our bands was denied couch time in favor of "Trapper John M.D." 2nd fiddle Gregory Harrison.

GET TO KNOW TOBIAS JESSO JR: PITCHFORK DOCUMENTARY
Want to get to know the man behind the piano? Well, you're in luck. Pitchfork presents to you a mini documentary directed by Jon Leone where Tobias discusses his journey in preparation for the release of his debut album 'Goon'.Watch below:
Coming August 11 : Pavement - The Secret History, Vol. 1 (double LP)
(photo courtesy The Spiral Stairs Archives)
On August 11, Matador Records will release a double LP, 'The Secret History Vol. 1' in North America*, the first of five compilations in a new series of Pavement rarities. The 30 tracks, 25 of which will be available on vinyl for the first time ever, are allculled from the Slanted and Enchanted era (1990-1992) (and previously available on the 'Slanted & Enchanted: Luxe & Reduxe' CD). The deluxe double LP contains essays by Stephen Malkmus and Spiral Stairs, plus essays from Matador Records, Billions Corporation, and Drag City bosses, and a gorgeous gatefold designed by Rob Carmichael (Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors).
(Preorder 'The Secret History, Vol. 1' from the Matador Store)
('The Secret History, Vol. 1' will be available in Europe via Domino)
The strangest thing about Pavement? Not that there were ever many non-strange things about Pavement? Even though they made their era’s finest rock albums, the albums only told half their story. Pavement also made some of the Nineties’ best albums that never happened. Until now.
Every proper Pavement album, from the out-of-nowhere debut Slanted and Enchanted to the summer-upper Terror Twilight, was accompanied by a flurry of slay tracks and stray slack—songs that got scattered on B-sides, EPs, compilations, radio sessions. But Pavement were too busy writing and recording great songs to worry about where to stash them, and they moved too fast to leave a tidy trail. So they left these songs off their albums. Some never got released at all.
Pavement made five proper album-as-albums: Slanted and Enchanted (1992), Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (1994), Wowee Zowee (1995), Brighten The Corners (1997) and Terror Twilight (1999). Each has its own sound. Each has its own legend. But each of their official albums has a shadow album—and it’s usually as strong as the album that actually did come out. It’s time for the world to hear the albums Pavement could have made, if they’d been a little less ambitious about music and a little more ambitious about the music business. If they’d been the kind of band to sweat the legacy. But if they were that kind of band, would they have written so many great songs? Much less these great songs? No.
Matador is finally releasing a series of these shadow albums. The first, naturally, is The Secret History, Vol. 1, collecting the songs that got away during the era of Slanted and Enchanted, which Stephen Malkmus, Scott Kannberg and Gary Young recorded on the cheaper-than-cheap in January 1991. The Secret History, Vol. 1 collects gems from Peel Sessions (“Kentucky Cocktail,” “Circa 1762”) and seven-inches (“Baptist Blacktick”) as well as live slop from the first European tours, with Mark Ibold and Bob Nastanovich in the fold. Some are outtakes from Slanted—imagine leaving these tunes off your first album, when as far as you know or imagine, it’s your only album. These tracks (some of which had never been rumored among Pavement freaks) came out on the 2002 Slanted and Enchanted: Luxe & Reduxe double CD reissue. But they’ve never been separately available as an album in their own right, and many of them have never been on vinyl before.

Coming August 28 : Yo La Tengo - 'Stuff Like That There', Tour This Autumn
(photo by Dusdin Condren)
On August 28, we'll be releasing the new Yo La Tengo album, 'Stuff Like That There', a 14 song collection of covers, originals and reworking(s) (see below) that happens to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the band's landmark 1990 album, 'Fakebook'. Recorded with Gene Holder, 'Stuff Like That There' has the trio of Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley and James McNew augmented by the guitarist and former Yo La Tengo member Dave Schramm, with James negotiating the wonders of the upright bass for the first time. This specific fearsome foursome -- playing material from 'Stuff Like That There' and maybe, possibly/probably (we really don't dictate repertoire around here) 'Fakebook' will kick off a world tour on September 23 in Troy, NY. These will almost certainly be your only opportunities to see Yo La Tengo take the stage in this particular format, so please puruse the ticket links below and act accordingly.
Two of 'Stuff LIke That There''s standouts, a rerecording of "Deeper Into Movies" and a cover of Special Pillow's "Automatic Doom" premiered earlier today via Vulture and Pitchfork respectively.
TRACKLISTING:
A1: My Heart's Not in It (Darlene McCrea)
A2: Rickety
A3: I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry (Hank Williams)
A4: All Your Secrets (remake of track from Popular Songs)
A5: The Ballad of Red Buckets (remake of track from Electr-o-pura)
A6: Friday I'm in Love (The Cure)
A7: Before We Stopped to Think (Great Plains)
B1: Butchie's Tune (The Lovin' Spoonful)
B2: Automatic Doom (Special Pillow)
B3: Awhileaway
B4: I Can Feel the Ice Melting (The Parliaments)
B5: Naples (Antietam)
B6: Deeper Into Movies (remake of track from I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One)
B7: Somebody's in Love (The Cosmic Rays with Le Sun Ra and Arkestra)
'Stuff Like That There' is available for preorder today from The Matador Store, including the very enticing MYSTERY BUNDLE (mystery tote + cassingle w/ 2 new unreleased tracks + MYSTERY STUFF). Sure, we could specify what the MYSTERY STUFF entails, but that would be like going on Twitter and giving away the ending to whatever appointment TV saga you're watching while sitting around waiting for your MYSTERY BUNDLE to arrive. What kind of JOY KILLERS do you think we are?
You can also preorder 'Stuff Like That There' from the following digital outlets, with "Automatic Doom" and "Deeper Into Movies" available instantly.

"Their mesmerising electronic pop sound is filled with twinkling melodies and cinematic strings with an influence of UK soul that leaves you yearning for more." i-D
"Earth Not Above', a track which fuses a deft, infectious pop touch to some genuinely enthralling production." Clash
"Merging shimmering, silver harmonies with Massive Attack-style beats, supernova basslines and gorgeous atmospheres, the trio create something truly special." The Line of Best Fit
"‘Earth Not Above’ sees the trio twisting their melodrama-led electronic into a more dramatic form, sitting somewhere amongst trip-hop staples of the past." DIY Magazine
"...meditative, sweeping music, drawing on Trip Hop and Sade and synthpop without ever fitting into any neat sub-genres" Stereogum
You can purchase the EP from iTunes. It is also available to stream on Spotify.
A 12" version will also be available (date TBA).
