>>> Those wondering where in the hell ex-Hail Social frontman Dayve Hawk has been were probably as surprised as we were to see this morning that not only does Hawk have a new project — Memory Tapes — but that said project outta nowhere scored a “Best New Music” on the ‘Fork.

>>> Kurt Vile Philadelphia Weekly cover story! Which would have been our answer to the question, “What is the only way humanly possible you could make the music of Kurt Vile seem less interesting than it is?” [PW]
>>> Ex-Cue Records dude Adam Porter’s new coffee-and-record shop, Milkcrate Cafe — discussed recently on Phoodie.info — opened up yesterday, but you know what’s also fun? The Milkcrate blog, which is a vinyl enthusiast’s joyride. [MilkcrateCafe]
BONUS ROUND: Dig that Os Mutantes at the World Cafe Live poster! You going? Sweeney’s DJing in between bands. Hopefully, he will not clear the room with “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” (again).
