Besdies being somewhat sick and watching an enormous amount of QVC, I’ve been working on upgrading the site to the latest version of Movable Type and preparing for our trip to Hoboken and Boston later this week.

Donewaiting.com writers have been holding up their side of the bargain, though. Here’s some highlights:

• Two reviews of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!/The National in Columbus OH: Andrew Review | Ben Review
• Han reviews a recent LA Decemberists show. Do you know they now have a whale onstage? They do. We have photographic evidence.
• Han also reviews Arthurfest.
• Steve Miller, our only European writer, checks in with a live review of Mew. That rhymes.
• San Francisco represents! Craig has an Antony and the Johnsons review. That is a band that I’ve yet to move from appreciating to liking, but I think I’ll get there one day.

Wilco’s live DVD/CD combo might be just a CD. And Fiona Apple credits her fans for her return.

Their new EP comes out Tuesday, but you can listen to it now on their Myspace account.

Speaking of Grandaddy, someone made their own video on an Apple ][+ for the song “Jed’s Other Poem” that you can watch here. It’s quite awesome-tacular. [credz]

Our Houston writer David A Cobb is safe in San Antonio.

This just in:

Critically lauded Chicago quartet, The M’s, have just signed to the Champaign, IL-based record label, Polyvinyl Records. The M’s will release their much-anticipated, yet-to-be-titled sophomore release this spring, with a tour to follow.

The M’s forthcoming release for Polyvinyl will hit stores in early 2006. The new album, recorded this summer at Chicago’s Semaphone Studio, says Hicks, is “a definite departure from the first. It’s a bit more serious in tone.”

It’s about freaking time. While I like the M’s quite a bit it’s been a really long time since they’re produced anything new (and their lackluster Intonation performance) had me worried. Since the Brilliante debut was basically three EPs packaged as a single LP I’m dying to hear what a more cohesive and singly thought out offering will sound like.

It’s time for them to step up to the plate and deliver on the “Most Promising New Band” status they’ve been riding for the last two years. I’m personally rooting for them to knock it out of the park.

Recent updates to Swizzle-Stick.com include Veruca Salt tour dates and an interview with Peter Hayes of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club conducted by David Cobb.

Just in time for the holidays, DGC has set a Nov. 1 release date for a new Nirvana compilation. “Sliver: The Best of the Box” rounds up highlights from the last year’s boxed set “With the Lights Out” and will also feature three previously unreleased tracks, details of which have yet to be revealed.
