>>> Dr. Dog’s best records of the ‘06 include Moondog, Elvis Perkins, Capitol Years and, dudes, are you serious? Joanna Newsom? For real? Sigh. [Harp]
>>> Something weird is going on with Beck: He kinds wants to, like, be one of us. His ‘06 faves list trumpeted Dr. Dog (see above link) and his new iTunes playlist thing big-ups Spank Rock. (Check the front page of the iTunes store if you care.) Next thing we know, he’s gonna be spotted in the crowd at Philebrity’s BLIPSTERFEST ‘07 (coming soon).
>>> More fuel for the fire that is half the Philly scene’s bloodlust to burn Pitchfork to the ground: Relay (pictured) scores a somewhat controversial 6.1. [Pitchfork]
>>> Paul Green School of Rock Alumns Eric and Julie Slick continue the world’s weirdest summer job: Being Adrian Belew’s backing band, now on record as well as in concert. We hope they’re getting college credit for this. Or at least that the old dude is buying them booze. [RobinSlick]
>>> Meanwhile, Pattern Is Movement get the nod to go on tour with Pedro The Lion dude David Bazan. Insert totally on-point joke referencing “The Godfather Of Evangelical Emo” here. [Pitchfork]
>>> The Asteroid #4 get more NYC-based blog hugs. Man, wait ’til the New York peeps hear about that new Sounds Of Psychedelphia comp that’s coming out, they’re gonna flip! [Idolator]
