Infinite Lightning Dust
Looks like Amber Webber has a good excuse for missing the recent Pink Mountaintops tour - the Black Mountain vocalist has a new album out under the Lightning Dust formation, with fellow Vancouverian Black Mountaineer Joshua Wells.
"I Knew" is available for download now (mp3) - and it suggest that Infinite Light seems set to expand the band's sound from the minimalist magic of 2007's self-titled debut.
Out August 3rd on Jagjaguwar.

Trailer Park: Revolution
New NBC TV thriller with JJ Abrams' hands all over it: 15 years on from a global blackout everyone's fighting with swords, bows and arrows, there's a secret militia and someone's still got a green screen chatroom running ... Have to say, I'd be happy to give anything starring Giancarlo Esposito a shot after his sterling form in Breaking Bad

RIP: MCA
Absolutely gutted to hear that MCA has passed away, and I suspect Nathaniel Hornblower might have gone with him. As an 11 year old hip hop fan, the disreputable Beastie Boys were clearly going to be a one hit wonder as far as the parents of the world were concerned, but who would have thought they would have evolved to be so endlessly influential and culturaly significant. As a director, Adam Yauch put his hand to many of the Beasties inspiring videos - and more recently through his company Oscilloscope he has become a truly influential character in the world of indie film.
A true loss that hits hard, especially when he was taken so early. RIP.

The Secret History of East London
Interesting interactive map documenting the supposed rise and fall of East London, whoich Dazed and Confused now seem to be considering 'over' due to the mainstream-ness of the Olympics.

John Peel's Record Collection
Lovely website up documenting John Peel's record collection, with an interactive view of his studio, plus clickable racks of records with scanned covers and links to play on Spotify where available. It's just the first 100 A's for now, with a plan to upload the first 100 of a new letter every week. That's still going to be a tiny dent of the 24,000 LPs and 40,000 singles ...but it's a start.

Trailer Park: Lawless
Terrible name, but with a stellar cast, Nick Cave writing and John Hillcoat directing, I'm hoping this prohibition gangster flick is going to be good. Slightly running out of patience with Tom Hardy though.

Trailer Park: Magic Mike
Channing Tatum seems to be attempting to get a serious career going, and starring in Steven Soderbergh's latest film Magic Mike shouldn't do any harm - especially as it's supposedly semi-biographical for Tatum. McRomcomedy seems to be attempting a direction change too. Hopefully he's in the movie more than he is in the trailer.
