My Chosen One

Watch the live session Guillemots did for Morning Becomes Eclectic yesterday. CalendarLive profiled the UK band and reviewed their SXSW set, apparently only attended by a few dozen people. Just you wait but I think these guys(and gal) could be big. Toronto's Stuart Berman reviews the band's debut release "From The Cliffs" for Pitchfork. Can you tell I have a little crush on Aristazabal?

Beth Orton was in Morning Becomes Eclectic's studios today. Watch the session here.

Villains Always Blink has a link to a clip of Jenny Lewis with The Watson Twins' performance of "Run Devil Run"/"The Big Guns" live on Late Show With David Letterman from yesterday night.

Pitchfork has some more details on Amy Millan's upcoming solo debut "Honey From The Tombs" being released through Arts & Crafts on May 30th in Canada(May 29th in the US).

Filter reports on PJ Harvey's upcoming DVD release entilted "PJ Harvey On Tour - Please Leave Quietly" and directed by long-time music video director Maria Mochnacz. The DVD was filmed during her 2004 "Uh Huh Her" tour. That tour made a stop in Toronto at Phoenix Concert Theatre on October 15, 2004 and I was at the show(one of my favourite shows of 2004, btw); I hope some Toronto clips made the cut.

Did you ever wonder what some of your favourite music bloggers look like and sound like; Stereogum spoke non-chalantly to some music bloggers at this year's SXSW Filter Blogger Brunch including Matt of Fluxblog, Janelle of The Real Janelle, Jen of Gothamist, Jeff of Central Village and Jinners. Watch the video. [via Jinners]

Check out Chromewaves' massive collection of photos he took at this year's SXSW. Are we jealous yet? ;-)

And finally, an open letter to Roni Size(who's apparently DJ'ing somewhere in Toronto sometime at the end of the month; sorry for lack of details, but I only caught a glance of a poster while I was riding the streetcar down Bathurst St. yesterday): please bring back Breakbeat Era.
