Its finals week at IU! That means the streets are getting quieter and the days are getting longer as we stretch out into summer. Come check out the hundreds of recent vinyl arrivals of soul, jazz, blues, rock and beyond - both used and new reissues. Maybe get a lil somethin' for ma for mothers day this sunday? Then mark your calendars for two exciting events this summer: Landlocked Music presents: MC5 A True Testimonial. Friday May 28th at The Bishop - $2 - film starts at 9pm - Nervous Shakedown DJs at 11pm. You will NOT find this movie at any theater, video rental or website - this is your ONLY CHANCE to see this amazing piece of cinematic glory. This long overdue documentary tells the tale of one of the most threatening and dangerous bands ever to grace the American music scene. Sporting the level of desperation only recognized by true cast-out socially degenerate miscreants, The MC5 proved over their short existence that even the most lost and hopeless souls will have a voice. You loved em at Lotus, they fed your ears at Taste of Bton, and now - Landlocked Music is pleased to present a live instore performance from The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band! Saturday June 12 at Landlocked. FREE! 3pm. Refreshments from Upland! Then go over to the Bluebird later that night and check out the full on electric live set. Another no miss situation brought to you from your friends at Landlocked Music! .................................................. NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 5/4/2009 .................................................. Broken Social Scene - Forgiveness Rock Record (Arts & Crafts) .................................................. Produced by John McEntire (Tortoise & The Sea and Cake), the album features BSS alumni: Leslie Feist, Amy Millan and Evan Cranley of Stars, Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw of Metric, Jason Collett, Ohad Benchetrit of Do Make Say Think and Years, John Crossingham, Marty Kinack, Leon Kingstone and Julie Penner. Uniquely, the song "Sentimental X's" features Leslie Feist, Emily Haines and Amy Millan singing together for the first time on the same song. Deftones - Diamond Eyes (Reprise) .................................................. 'Diamond Eyes' works the way good records used to; each song carries you a little further away from your bad day until finally, you've been transported to a place that feels a whole lot better than where you started. There's also a newfound sense of purpose that makes Deftones' sixth album stand out. The band recorded the album after their best friend and bassist Chi Cheng sustained a debilitating brain injury from a car accident in 2008. The Fall - Your Future Our Clutter (Domino) .................................................. Recorded at various studios in the north of England over the past year, Your Future Our Clutter is Mark E. Smith and Co.'s debut for Domino. Your Future Our Clutter is The Fall at their most rampant, most forward moving and bone shaking best. With nine tracks that rock like raw fury, we see The Fall heading into their next decade with the same intensity with which they started. Flaming Lips & Stardeath - Dark Side of the Moon (WB) .................................................. CD version! The world's most predictably unpredictable band have teamed up with their Oklahoma City brethren, Stardeath And White Dwarfs to record their own unique take of Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon. The collaborative project was recorded after several weeks of both bands touring the world together and mutually citing Pink Floyd as one of their favorite bands of all time and 'The Dark Side Of the Moon' as one of their primary influences. Features Henry Rollins and Peaches, too! Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma (Warp) .................................................. When global bass music matriarch Mary Anne Hobbs recently told The Fader "Flying Lotus, for me, is like the Hendrix of his generation", it seemed more than an audacious opinion, and with the arrival of Cosmogramma, it's revealed as a revelation. In the past couple of years since his previous album Los Angeles, Fly-Lo has grown into the position of being far more than a producer, he has helped materialize a far-reaching strain of musical ideology that has encompassed not only a global family of like-minded artists, but also a nearly infinite palate of planetary (and interplanetary) sonics. Free Energy - Stuck on Nothing (DFA) .................................................. Free Energy take the blithe, hooky classic rock of groups Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick, and Tom Petty, as their jumping-off point, as well as contemporaries such as The Strokes, Kings Of Leon, and Wolfmother. DFA honcho and LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy produced the album and played bass on it, while Pat Mahoney (drummer of LCDSS) played drums. The album evokes snippets of glam, power pop, bubblegum and arena rock. The tracks on the album are propelled by cowbell and carbonated guitars, mixing vintage with the contemporary for an all around feel good record with sing along hooks that can't be beat. They will be back in Bton on June 10th at The Bishop! The Hold Steady - Heaven is Whenever (Vagrant) .................................................. Singer Craig Finn says Heaven Is Whenever is about "embracing suffering and finding reward in our everyday lives." Piano and keys take a backseat to guitar on the new record, which also gets production help from guitarist Tad Kubler. Recorded in several smaller sessions spread out over a long period of time, the songs on Heaven Is Whenever received the benefit of being tested on the band's recent tours. As Finn says this allowed them to "see what was working and what wasn't. I believe this record benefits from us working at a more deliberate pace." The Joy Formidable - A Balloon Called Moaning (Black Bell) .................................................. Wales trio The Joy Formidable is the first band signed to the label founded by Passion Pit. After selling out 4 singles over the last year and a half in the UK, The Joy Formidable is ready to hit the ground running in the US with the release of its 8 track EP. Described by some as a dreamy indie pop group, TJF has been exposed to the NYC music scene supporting standout bands Passion Pit, Editors, and The Temper Trap. Kris Kristofferson - Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends: The Publishing Demos 1968-72 (Light in the Attic) .................................................. Over 5 years in the making, and with the attention to detail and elaborate packaging the label is known for, LITA presents the never before released 1968-1972 demos of Texas-born Renaissance man and maverick songwriting pioneer, Kris Kristofferson. With the outlaw Highwayman's full blessing, LITA is proud and honored to present Kristofferson's honest and upfront formative takes on the tunes that would eventually become part of the great American songbook. Includes full lyrics housed in a massive 60 page full color booklet featuring unseen photos and archival material, plus a gloriously mastered audio soundtrack. Cate Le Bon - Me Oh My (Control Group) .................................................. A new force in song craft, Cate Le Bon resides in Cardiff, Wales. Her music is a heady and highly personal Gallic stew of equal parts Nico, Malkmus and the chronicler's own emotional observations on the impossibility of existence. The carefully constructed "Me Oh My" boasts a concise palette of instrumentation played live by Cate and a fluid band of close friends. Perfectly illuminating her writing skills with understated menace and beauty. A singular talent- 4 stars - Mojo. Minus the Bear - OMNI (Dangerbird) .................................................. With deep bass lines, mesmerizing syncopated guitar riffs, provocative lyrics and stimulating keyboards, OMNI explodes with a bursting energy and unpredictable experimentation. OMNI continues Minus the Bear's shape-shifting evolution and is a culmination of their past influences and present inspirations. Over the years, Minus the Bear has won over legions of fans and critics with an exhilarating live show and a sound that is uniquely their own. New Pornographers - Together (Matador) .................................................. The 5th album from Canadian-US collective The New Pornographers, featuring Neko Case and Destroyer's Dan Bejar, in addition to bandleader and chief songwriter A.C. Newman. Playing to all the New Pornographers strengths, Together combines the freewheeling, glammy spirit of their debut Mass Romantic with the very personal, emotional songwriting of their most recent material. As a result, it's an album that aims to please, as exciting for the New Pornographers obsessive as for casual new listeners. Mike Patton - Mondo Cane (Ipecac) .................................................. Recorded at a series of European performances including an outdoor concert in a Northern Italian piazza, this album features traditional Italian Pop songs as well as a rendition of Ennio Morricone's 'Deep Down'. Patton worked with a 30-piece orchestra and choir to create the uniquely new Mondo Cane sound. Patton's body of work continues to evolve and grow with a wide range of bands and solo projects including Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Fantomas, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom and most recently as a film composer and voice actor. Josh Ritter - So Runs the World Away (Pytheas) .................................................. Ritter's sixth studio album, So Runs the World Away, marks the beginning of what Josh calls a "new period" in his life, and it's reflected in songs that he describes as "more detailed and feel as if they were painted in oil on large canvasses." "I've come to expect good records from him... but this one took my breath away." - Bob Boilen / NPR Music Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt - I Love You (Luaka Bop) .................................................. A never ending romp of a dance party; looped pianos and saxes race on top of synths and ill beats, and like twenty vocal takes are mixed in there somewhere. These are severely catchy, dancey pop songs that actually have lyrical content. These are songs about friends, romance and everything else that rules in life, presented in a comic, yet somehow deathly serious, way. Tremendous F**king - Power Down (Higher Step) .................................................. Recorded just days before their final show, POWER DOWN, ensures that the spirit of Bloomington's Trem-Fu lives on. This is said to be TremFu's magnum opus, and was recorded at Russian Recording in July of 2009 with super-star engineer Mike Bridavsky at the controls. Back catalog on sale now as well!

With deep bass lines, mesmerizing syncopated guitar riffs, provocative lyrics and stimulating keyboards, OMNI explodes with a bursting energy and unpredictable experimentation. OMNI continues Minus The Bear's shape-shifting evolution and is a culmination of their past influences and present inspirations. Over the years, Minus The Bear has won over legions of fans and critics with an exhilarating live show and a sound that is uniquely their own. Broken Social Scene - Forgiveness Rock Record (Arts & Crafts) .................................................. Produced by John McEntire (Tortoise & The Sea and Cake), the album features BSS alumni: Leslie Feist, Amy Millan and Evan Cranley of Stars, Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw of Metric, Jason Collett, Ohad Benchetrit of Do Make Say Think and Years, John Crossingham, Marty Kinack, Leon Kingstone and Julie Penner.

Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma (Warp) .................................................. When global bass music matriarch Mary Anne Hobbs recently told The Fader "Flying Lotus, for me, is like the Hendrix of his generation", it seemed more than an audacious opinion, and with the arrival of Cosmogramma, it's revealed as a revelation. In the past couple of years since his debut album, Los Angeles, Flying Lotus has grown into the position of being far more than a producer, he has helped materialize a far-reaching strain of musical ideology that has encompassed not only a global family of like-minded artists, but also a nearly infinite palate of planetary (and interplanetary) sonics. Kaki King - Junior (Rounder) .................................................. Kaki King has spent the past decade gathering critical acclaim for her unparalleled guitar skills. Not only is she the first ever female named a "Guitar God" by Rolling Stone, but she also received a Golden Globe nomination for Into the Wild and that  same year, appeared in the film August Rush, and performed on the Foo Fighters' Grammy® winning album as well as opened for them during their Australia tour.  Kaki reaches new heights with her debut album, Junior. This collection of songs delivers twists and turns: from exuberance & anger to heartbreaking melancholy, and sonically from experimental pieces to accessible pop. Junior defies categorization and expectation, making it a recording to be reckoned with. Kris Kristofferson - Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends: The Publishing Demos 1968-1972 (Light in the Attic) .................................................. For the past five years, Light In The Attic has embarked on a dream project - working with the blessing of the legendary Kris Kristofferson to compile a selection of his demos from the late 1960s and early '70s. We are proud to present this 16-song collection, an amazing snapshot of the formative years of one of the giants of contemporary American music. The recordings found on this compilation of previously unreleased material include early versions of songs that would become standards of his impressive catalog. Included on this title are: "Me and Bobby McGee," "Just The Other Side of Nowhere," "Come Sundown" and "Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends." This release is an intimate portrait of an important artist at the beginning of a long, storied career. -------------------------------------------------- More information about shows and more on the horizon is available for the technologically inclined at http://www.landlockedmusic.com/ or http://myspace.com/landlockedbton or http://indiana.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2385198570 or http://twitter.com/landlockedmusic We are looking to buy/trade all your old unwanted CDs & LPs!
