Vocals are kinda buried, but you get the idea. Plus you get “The Great Gravitron Massacre” as a bonus after the new tune.

Also, the solo release from Micah Schnabel (that bespectacled guy singing up there), When the Stage Lights Go Dim, is out now, and you can stream the whole thing over at Spinner. SXSW info for Micah and Two Cow’s Saturday shows, along with Schnabel’s solo acoustic take on “Bastards & Bridesmaids,” after the jump.

“Rooster” is one of the more lighthearted tunes off Words Are Stupid (4/27 on St. Ives), an album that’s equal parts light (lots of kazoo & animal noises) and dark (Jerry DeCicca’s trademark gloom and some downright eerie guitar lines from Chris Forbes).

Columbus Rapper Blueprint sent out this press release about his group Greenhouse’s SXSW and National touring plans.Above is a video Greenhouse made to get people up to speed about the group. Below are the dates:

MP3: Deny All

Bettie Serveert release their ninth album, Pharmacy of Love, later this month. Above is the first track of the record for your downloading pleasure. You can pre-order it at Amazon.

Bettie Serveert escaped me in the 90s, and it has only been in recent years that I’ve been playing catch up with the band’s discography. It’s been fun digging through the catalog and this new album fits in nicely with the band’s sound.

Keep reading for a video of Deny All…

“I am doing fine and I am recovering! I’m weak though,” Guru told AllHipHop.com in a statement today. “Solar is the only person who has the accurate info on my situation. Any info from anybody else is false! I appreciate your well wishes and all the love!”

Note:Guru’s Official Representive is Solar(the guy that produced the last few Guru albums not to be confused with MC Solaar the french rapper)
The bad new is that Guru’s family doesn’t trust Solar and his nephew also issued this video statement today..
