New song loaded on The Like MySpace that we think is pretty fan-fablous. Check out (Before I Break Your Heart) Release Me preformed live for Indie 103.1. We love it, and we thought you would too. 🙂
Word on the Keren Ann blog is she’s hitting The States in Feb. of next year. No dates announced yet, but you know Rockher will tell you as soon as we find out!
Rockher is not exactly Riot Grrrl, but we do support it and think all you female rockHer fans should check out the “Don’t Need You: The Herstory of Riot Grrrl” documenatry directed by Kerri Koch now available on DVD. Here’s the one minute trailer we found on YouTube:
The film features rare interviews with Allison Wolfe, Corin Tucker, and Kathleen Hanna, and archived video of riot grrrls bands like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, and Heavens to Betsy in action.
Folk-tastic singer/songwriter/musician Ani Difranco along with her label Righteous Babe Records releases Ani’s ultimate career music catalog with her greatest hits album Canon. Ani hand picked each song on the album, along with five new re-recorded tracks of old songs.
Ani Bonus: Verses, Ani’s first pubished book of poetry in the US, will also be released today.
It’s hard to imagine it’s been six years since the fall of the World Trade Center buildings, Pentagon, and Pennsylvania plane crash of September 11th, 2001. Today, we’d like to remember those lost in the terrorist attacks, the families that have suffured, and a nation that’s torn over this tremendous act of hatred by showing Sheryl Crow’s moving performance of “Safe and Sound” at the 9/11 telathon. Whatever your political beliefs may be, we’d like to encourage each and every one of you to take a moment and remember what happend to our country only a short while ago.
September 11th 2007
Ani DiFranco – Canon (greatest hits)
Emma Pollock – Watch The Fireworks
Shout Out Louds – Our Ill Wills
Ann Wilson (Of Heart) – Hope & Glory
The summer festival season is nearing a close, but not without a GALANG after indie Sri Lankan hip-hopper M.I.A. got kicked off stage at Scottland’s 2007 Connect Festival this past weekend, and thanks to YouTube, we’ve got footage!
Here’s what we hear happend: M.I.A. invited an equally colorful and energetic festival crowd on stage to be her back-up dancers during her new single “Bird Flu” off her recently released album Kala, only to be kicked off stage mid-set by ____ (we’re still unsure of who, officially, pulled the plug).
“I didn’t walk off. I got chucked off,” says M.I.A. on her MySpace blog. “You were worth getting kicked off for.”
Catch a load of Beth Ditto’s famed dance moves in this recent music vid for new Gossip single “Jealous Girls.”
