One can only hope that this tour hits central Ohio. Ringo Starr (you know, from The Beatles) is getting together with some “friends” to tour this summer. Check out Starr’s friends – Richard Marx, Billy Squier, Edgar Winter, Sheila E, Rod Argent and Mark Hudson.

Here are the announced tour dates (so far).

I caught Church of the Red Museum last Tuesday, opening up for Montreal’s Kiss Me Deadly. I had heard good reports about the band, so I was really excited.

I missed about half their set, but I was blown away by the few songs I had seen. The band definitely creates a mood, almost macabre in texture, that is a really fun listen. Country Noir with some Tom Waits/Califone/Nick Cave feel thrown in for good measure.

You can listen to some songs on their Myspace page. A full length is in the works.

The Duke Spirit are tenth generation Janis Joplin bullshit.

Artists confirmed for this summer’s tour include: AFI, Against Me!, Bouncing Souls, Helmet, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Less Than Jake, Motion City Soundtrack, NOFX, Rise Against, Saves The Day, Senses Fail, The Academy Is, The Living End, Thursday and Underoath.

Coolfer says yes.

Coolfer has it on good authority that Interpol has signed with Interscope Records, the home of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beck, All-American Rejects and TV on the Radio. OK, indie purists, start the debate. Not much of a debate as Coolfer sees it. Interpol is an established band that needs to move up. Period. (full story)

Also of interesting note is someone from Matador Records defending their label when someone in the comments says they haven’t had much success lately. (yet the rep doesnt respond to the rumor…)

Soak up the bandwidth, peoples.

Always New Depths (complete title – Always New Depths: The Complete Silent Alarm B-Sides & Remixes) is exactly as the name states – the most comprehensive collection of Bloc Party b-sides and remixes available (on the internet), all bundled together with a nice, organized tracklisting and some appropriate/cool cover art. Though the original came with all of the tracks from Bloc Party’s debut self-titled EP and some remixes that were eventually released on the Silent Alarm: Remixed album, I’ve removed those in favor of newer b-sides and more remixes.
