Pixies Playing Jimmy Fallon, Will Play What You Tweet


pixies

The Pixies are currently in the throes of the North American leg of their Doolittle tour, a wormhole of a trek we’ve been quick to spill much digi-ink over in these parts recently. Via an e-mail from the band’s publicist, we’ve just learned that the band will sandwich in an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon next week when they come to New York for four sold-out nights at Hammerstein Ballroom. So if watching Fallon get goofy is your thing, check your DVR of tonight’s show come tomorrow morning. He’s planning to announce the following: while The Pixies will be kicking things off with “Debaser,” fans/you guys now have the opportunity to choose their Doolittle second jam via Twitter. Fire those in Fallon’s direction (@jimmyfallon) and maybe make it “Hey.” Just an idea.

Jelly Pool Parties In Danger, Seeking New Home

Make all the Williamsburg hipster jokes you want, but there have been few sweeter deals in recent memory than the Jelly Pool Parties. They’ve resided in parks within Brooklyn’s music mecca for a half-decade now, but are in jeopardy at the moment because the New York State Parks Department and the Open Space Alliance says their current home at the East River State Park may not be available next summer.

Among others, U.S. Senator (and BK native) Charles Schumer is fighting to keep the concert series alive. He even invites you to give him a ring at 212-486-4430 or email him at phil@schumer.senate.gov to support his efforts. So maybe leave out the details about all the stuff you were hopped up on when you saw Girl Talk, but tell him how the Dirty Projectors show changed your life. Otherwise, while No Age and Dan Deacon may be on the same bill at some point in the future, you may ahve to (gasp) pay for it. (Via: Paste)

Feast On Animal Collective’s New Jam “Graze”


In just a few days, on November 23rd, there will be a new Animal Collective release upon us. And although we’ve only heard snippets of the Fall Be Kind EP in all it’s polyphonic glory, we’d like to think that the sparkle and carnival whirring of “Graze” is a good indicator that nothing—save for maybe Bob Dylan’s psychotic new Christmas album—is going to able get that sucker out of our hi-fi until the holidays have finally wound down. Check it out above. (via Stereogum)

On Monday morning, we reported that pop seamstress Amy Winehouse had taken a quick trip to the hospital after an unfortunate collision between some cold and prescription medications she was taking at the time. Amy’s outspoken father Mitch Winehouse, who has already been quite vocal about his enthusiasm for his daughter’s recent breast enhancements, revealed via his television program that the hospital visit was needed to remedy a leak in said breasts instead. “It wasn’t because she had a cold.” he said. “She’s fine, she just had a little (Mitch points to his chest) leaky something or other.” (via MTV UK)
