>>> The Roots continue in the Times the theme we picked up on in our DoJo mano e mano regarding their megabummer new album, Rising Down.
Says ?uestlove:

“I’m not ashamed to say that this is probably the first we’ve ever been afraid: afraid of not being relevant, or afraid of not actually having a record deal after this album, or afraid of failure.” Long pause. “But I think that’s a good thing.”

Aye carumba. Is the group therapy movie a la Metallica’s Some Kind Of Monster far off [NYT]
>>> Somehow this slipped right by us: The Lilys are slated to play the My Bloody Valentine-curated All Tomorrow’s Parties this September in Monticello, NY. Bigger question, though: Will the MBV tour expand and hit Philly? Our guess: No, but if so, this would be so fucking hot at the Troc. Make it happen, people. [ATP/Pitchfork]
>>> And lastly, as a gentle reminder, THE 4TH ANNUAL PHILEBRITY BELLE & SEBASTIAN DANCE PARTY IS THIS SATURDAY! Amazingly sunny related video at right for your enjoyment. Also, this just in: Steven Wells just RSVP’d for this thing. Crappin’ you negative.
