A List Of Sound

Sorry to hear that Matt Pond PA's gear was stolen from their parked van after their recent show at Bowery Ballroom in NYC. A list of the stolen gear can be viewed over at the band's website, and man is it an expensive loss, though Matt seems to be in good spirits about the whole situation. I wonder what that'll mean for their upcoming Mod Club show in Toronto this Saturday. I'm still pondering going to that show. [via Brooklyn Vegan; photo from http://../]

I picked up the limited edition of Belle and Sebastian's new album "The Life Pursuit" yesterday at Rotate This. It's a wonderful package and it's finally great to hear the album. Yes, I didn't listen to any album leaks. It's growing on me and I'm liking their more upbeat sound this time around. I do advise anyone interested in the limited edition of the album to not dawdle, 'cause a guy working at Rotate This mentioned to me that Canada only got two thousand copies of it. You have been warned.
