This is Radio Free Yo La Tengo

Yo La TengoA one-hour streaming broadcast interview of Yo La Tengo by Tom Scharpling of WFMU, dubbed "Radio Free Yo La Tengo", is available at live365.com. In the future, it will be available as a podcast downloadable from the Matador Records site and various podcast sites. [info from Matador Records][photo from http://../]

Between thought and expression has a link to tobeyoung.org which has a download(mp3 format - 14 tracks) of the Ryan Adams/Gillian Welch/David Rawlings "The Destroyer Sessions".

So while Tahiti 80's new website is still in construction, they do have their forum up and running.

Beck discusses his new album "Guero" track by track over at Xfm. The new album comes out on March 29th in Canada. I saw an ad in NOW that the downtown Toronto Sam The Record Man will be selling the new album for $11.99, and that the special edition of the album will also be specially priced. Sweet.

Brooklynvegan has a nice review(w/ photos) of Feist's March 22, 2005 show at Joe's Pub in New York City. Brooklynvegan also points to The Tofu Hut who's taken the time to compile a biography of Feist's career including links to Feist audio(MP3/streaming), some you've heard likely and some which may be new to you.

I'm hoping for a small club tour in North America for The La's. Largehearted Boy says the band's announced three British tour dates. Hey, it's a start.

I didn't end up going to Strut Magazine's 2nd anniversary shin-dig this past Tuesday at Church at Berkeley in Toronto which featured Juliette and The Licks and The Organ. I was really interested in seeing The Organ. A post at 20hz points towards sabrinski's site who has a review and photos of The Organ's set from that night. I kinda wish I went now, but I wasn't sure of the set times or if I had to be on a guest list or something. It turned out to be mostly an industry party from what I read. I do have a chance to check out The Organ tonight in Hamilton though.

With all the concerts coming up in the next couple of months, I really got to start a sidebar or something to keep track of which tickets I've bought and still need to buy. The next two months are going to be FUN!

Update[2:32 pm]: You can download(courtesy of GeekDreams) high-quality mp3's of Fiona Apple's new album "Extraordinary Machine" which her record label refuses to release for lack of a 'hit single'. Morons. The Free Fiona campaign continues. [download link via thingstodowithjello via Technorati]
