anything could happen and it could be right now

Tour only releases are usually pretty special for those who could make it out to see the bands; otherwise they could be pretty annoying for fans of the bands that did not schedule nearby dates.

Los Campesinos!, No Age, and Times New Viking teamed up for a very limited 7” to celebrate the Shred Yr Face tour. I have been dying to hear Times New Viking's cover of The Clean and after weeks of searching for this 7”, I have finally got my hands on it! (This one is pretty much not available anywhere, that is why I am posting all three songs from the 7”)

No Age: Revolving Credit For Kitty
Times New Viking: Anything Could Happen (The Clean cover)


Conor Oberst is offering Gentlemen's Pact EP during his current tour.

The Acorn/Ohbijou Split 12" is available at one of the bands’ remaining Canadian dates. The two bands covered each other’s song on the split and they both have a brand new song to showcase as well.

what the hell is an ohbijou?

The Joanna Newsom show that I went to back in October featured one of the better openers I have encountered in recent shows. It was a local band called Ohbijou. The band had about six or seven... or eight members on stage playing countless instruments from the violin and cello to the trumpet and ukulele; every single one of those instruments sounded great and the lead vocal was beautiful. I want to buy a copy of their CD at that show; but unfortunately, they were all gone by the end of the concert. I was going to look them up on the interweb, but I kind of forgot about them until mid-last week. To be honest, I am a little disappointed by their debut full length, Swift Feet For Troubling Times. Nevertheless, my roommate and I concluded that this disappointment only exists because of the wonderful live performance we both experienced. I am pretty positive that for those who have never seen Ohbijou live, they would surly enjoy Swift Feet For Troubling Times. Ohbijou is talented and definitely very promising, so make time in your busy schedule and listen to the tracks below.
