Notes:

• The Undertones self-titled release has been reissued by Drastic Plastic Records. Buy the vinyl. Order it from Drastic. Besides being a record label that reissues records by THE CLASH, they’re my favorite record store in Omaha. (Sorry, Saddle Creek, can we still be friends?)
• Holy crap people! Why have you been hiding Anna Calvi from me? I am definitely picking this up on vinyl this week. RIYL: PJ Harvey, Siouxise Sioux, lady guitarists w/ edgy vocals/lyrics.
• Control by Spoek Mathambo is a cover of Joy Division’s She’s Lost Control. The video is super-freaky. It’s on Youtube.
• Mister Heavenly is Honus Honus of Man Man, Nicholas Thorburn of Islands and The Unicorns, and Joe Plummer of Modest Mouse and The Shins. Out of Love is out today, 16 Aug 2011 on Sub Pop Records.
• The new album by Handsome Furs is one of my favorite albums of 2011. It’s out now on Sub Pop Records.
• Charles Bradley is an amazing singer with an amazing story. You can read some of it over at Wikipedia. Much love to Gabriel Roth at Daptone Records for giving the man a chance. We are all better for it.
