Good evening friends, and welcome to another week, here on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. It seems the music world has been especially slow this week, so I've decided that today I will post my official Autumn mixtape (seeing as Autumn officially began 6 days prior to this post), some MORE TV on the Radio (I know I never get tired of them), and I'll also have a short piece about the new, up-and-running Sub Pop Singles Club. So, enjoy as you may.
TV on the Radio rock the shit out of David Letterman ... AGAIN!
Wolf Like Me (the first time) ...
Dancing Choose (the second time) ...
No offense to David Letterman's house band (who're very good, by the way), but I'm pretty sure that position should be filled by TV on the Radio. Anybody with me?
The Sub Pop Singles Club
I was actually planning on posting this NEXT august (when it's completed), but because of the lack of music this week, I figured I'd offer up a sneak peak of what's to come. Actually, I decided I'll be lazy, and take advantage of the miracle of that is copy and paste.
"The Sub Pop Singles Club: The Return of the Return of Khan
The Sub Pop Singles Club is back, all tan and rested after a shockingly long sabbatical. It is a somewhat louche, world-weary thing with its eye on your wallet. And, for a price, The Sub Pop Singles Club is ready and willing to satisfy you aurally in ways you never dreamed possible.
Without further pandering, here are the facts!
Fact 1!
This run of The Sub Pop Singles Club will run for 1 year only, before returning to its secret island vacation spot for eternity (or until we here at Sub Pop feel masochistic enough to take on coordinating this debacle again.)
Fact 2!
This year’s Sub Pop Singles Club will include records (of the 7” variety) with music from such artists as Om, Unnatural Helpers, Tyvek, Black Mountain, Black Lips, Arthur & Yu, Mika Miko, Blues Control, Notwist, plus some stuff we’re not yet at liberty to divulge. And they won’t come out in that particular order, necessarily.
Fact 3!
We will mail you 1 record per month, every month for an entire year beginning on August 15th with a fantastic pair of songs from Om.
Fact 4!
For shipments to North America, you will pay us $75 in exchange for receiving this monthly boon from us. If you live elsewhere, in places outside of North America, we will require $90 from you.
Fact 5!
We will be pressing 1,500 copies of each single and so the number of subscriptions available for sale will be correspondingly limited. When these subscriptions are gone, that’s it!
Fact 6!
In addition to the singles themselves, each subscriber will receive a coupon enabling the download of high-quality MP3s of each record. No need to worry about how you’ll jam that 7” into your disk drive, we’ve got all you technophiliacs with your new-fangled gadgets covered.
Fact 7!
Subscriptions will be limited to 5 per person.
So here’s your chance to join the throngs of assholes selling their collectibles on eBay for ridiculous sums! All you have to do is: SEND US YOUR MONEY!"
And guess who's a subrscriber? Me! Well, my brother Jon, but myself by association.
Anyways, in August (of next year), I'll be posting mp3's for EVERY SINGLE TRACK. I know, I love me as well. So look forward to that.
