Pavement Drop By Fallon, Play Last NYC Show Tonight


If you are lucky enough to spend the last night in NYC with Pavement today, make it a good one. The show starts only in a matter of hours. To hold you over until then, check out the performances the band did on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night! They played “Unfair,” and “Stereo,” the latter on the internet only, with contest winner Steve Goss. Lucky bastard. You can watch those below.

Pavement goes on at 8pm tonight at Central Park. Tickets are sold out. See you there!

Parlovr Preview ‘Heaven/Hell’ on Stereogum!

Parlovr Canadian power trio Parlovr have been exploding onto the scene with their infectious indie pop since their self titled debut was released in 2008 on Dine Alone Records. Since then the boys have been working on their upcoming EP Heaven/Hell/Big/Love which will be released October 19th.

The idea for the EP was based around a song “Hell,Heaven” which the trio were playing continually at live shows. Heaven/Hell/Big/Love was created as 4 or 5 pieces that weren’t directly tied together in a specific theme and were just written without any rehearsal before studio time. The result is an EP split with “Hell,Heaven” which is based on “thoughts of a childhood spent in the middle east” and “Big Love” which is about a “girlfriend who has the ‘look of a man.” Along with the two title tracks are “Where is the Sun” and “Tehching Hsieh” which both add surrealism and romantic dreaminess to the EP.

You can preview “Hell,Heaven”  on Stereogum HERE and be sure to catch Parlovr at Pop Montreal October 2nd at Cabaret Just Pour Rire. The band will also soon be announcing US tour dates for this fall.

OK Go Are Back With Another Awesome Video

OK Go seem to know how to capture the attention of the Youtube crowd.

After bursting onto the scene with “Here It Goes Again” (almost 4 million views on Youtube) and “This Too Shall Pass” (17 million views…17), the group is back with another catchy song combined with a great video.

“White Knuckles” is a pretty good song on its own. Adding dogs (like most other things) only makes it better.

You can check out what I mean in the video below. The group has also joined with the ASPCA to found the “Rural Dog Rescue Fund” which you can check out here.

If you’re wondering how they got the dogs to do all that, they went through four pounds of dog treats…a day.
