CHINESE DEMOCRACY - NON-OLYMPICS EDITION

So, it seems like the long awaited Guns N’ Roses record, Chinese Democracy may actually see the light of day. Is Buckethead still on it? That guy is awesome.

See, all we needed was a little…

A bit more imminent is Peter, Bjorn and John’s Seaside Rock, due out on September 23. You can find P,B & J on the 2007 edition of SXSW Live available through Shout Factory.

Here’s Kanye West doing his take on “Young Folks” with the happy Swedes. Swedish people are awesome, too.

And finally, Fleet Foxes have announced a lengthy US Tour. It will be hard to miss them, it seems, and everyone loves the Foxes! They were pretty sublime on Letterman recently.

Happy weekending, lp

REMEMBERING JERRY WEXLER

While pondering the death of Jerry Wexler, coming so soon after Isaac Hayes, we turned to a great interview with Wexler from 2000 by Raoul Hernandez from the Austin Chronicle. My suggestion - dig out an Aretha record and put it on, read the interview, and surely you’ll find another record in your collection that Wexler had a hand in.
