Weekend Recovery Steps

Wow, I had a wild weekend that involved me carrying a birch tree on my shoulders at 4am.

How was yours? Equally as awesome I hope.

Here's what we missed during this weekends shenanigans:

- Dr. Dog (Again?!) got a Daytrotter session (Again!?!?) posted.

Dr. Dog fans, don't hesitate...check it out now. Stellar live performances of some tracks off of the brand new Shame, Shame as well as a spaced out/trippy, "Army of Ancients" off of Fate.

- Legendary English band Blur released their first new recording in seven years. The 7" was released in conjunction with Record Store Day which occurred this Saturday April 17, 2010 to support local record stores around the globe. Only 1,000 copies of the release were made available in the UK, so the band has released the track, "Fool's Gold" for free download on their site.
(You can stream it right here in high quality below)




- Record Store Day featured a boat load of new releases, re-issues, and rare performances. Honestly too much to name, but thankfully Pitchfork picked up the slack at the end of last week and posted a definitive guide. I recommend hitting up eBay if you're looking for anything in particular as it was probably gone within minutes on the actual day.

- Oh and Coachella happened, ending yesterday night. Just Google it or YouTube it or something for all of that.
