1. Sonic Youth — my favorite band — is working on a new album.
Their website lists some song titles: "Pink Steam," "Do You Believe in Rapture?," "Sleepin' Around."
Sexy.
They're recording this new album at Sear Sound.
Look for it sometime in 2006.
2. Drag City has announced that the Silver Jews — a band that totally never ever never ever never tours — will be going on tour.
From the press release:
Each tour stop will include a fiery oratorical performance, as Bob Nastanovich reads his challenge, "Address To the Men of This Town," a "professional-style" multimedia show, and country comedy by Kevin Guthrie and Corny Crow, along with all the love songs, parables, and slang you expect from Crook and Chase — I mean the Silver Jews!Sneaky. Look for it sometime in March.
