:: Man, 2010 was looking so promising to me… until I heard this: New MGMT album in April. Ick.

:: I used to think those Matador dudes were alright, but now that I know they killed six bulls in one day, I’m not so sure. Then again, if they’re using it for free hamburgers at SXSW, they’ll be my favorite label.

:: Dillinger Escape Plan will be playing a lot of shows between now and the middle of August. My boy Black Bubblegum — apropos, right? — has all the dates over at BrooklynVegan.

:: It seems like Stephin Merritt and covers are inseparable. Whether it involves Merritt putting his touch on someone else’s song or others having a go at his stuff, something is always within reach. Just like that Antlers‘ cover of Nothing Matters When We’re Dancing that Chromewaves recently uncovered.

:: We had a good time with One for the Team on Monday (forgot my camera, or there’d be proof of it — from the show and our trip to the Louisville Slugger Museum). It also looks like the Teamers had a similarly awesome time in Lexington the day before, which Matt from YANP actually did document.

:: Random tracks that don’t suck:
Grandaddy – Hewlett’s Daughter
Old Crow Medicine Show – Raise a Ruckus
Rocket From the Crypt – Fat Lip
