Lips Expand Zaireeka for 10th Anniversary Parties (Pitchfork)
MS: Oh, and they also decided to record and release the resulting album in a fairly ridiculous manner: spread across four discs, each containing different music and meant to be played simultaneously (or, for a real trip, in various combinations).
Say what you will about the practicality and listener friendliness of such an endeavor. What's perhaps most ridiculous is that Zaireeka was originally released in 1997, and thus turns ten years old this year (crazy, ain't it?).
New York Rockers Pay Tribute to C.B.G.B. Founder (Variety)
MS: Vernon Reid of Living Colour said: "Tolerance sucks. You 'tolerate' a paper cut or a sprained ankle. Musicians want acceptance, not 'tolerance,' and that's what we got from Hilly Kristal. Living Colour truly became a band at C.B.G.B."
Homme Itching To Record With New QOTSA Lineup (Billboard)
MS: "They're just, like, open endings and cues and saying, 'Let's try to head this general direction' so it's not endless jam band stuff," Homme explains. "That way we never get bored and it's always fresh for us. That gives us the best chance of trying to blow people away, blow their minds. I don't think we've touched the tip of the iceberg of what we're able to do now. We should really be stretching as far as possible."

Radiohead To Tour Next Year (NME)
MS: "He likes to do shows, but the whole business of schlepping round the world is not top of his favourite things to do," he said. "It's the process of how to do that which is the pain in the neck. They're not road dogs. They never have been."
Death Cab For Cutie Guitarist's Camp Gets A Reply From U.S. Customs Rep: 'Have Them Call Me' (MTV)
MS: On September 19, an employee of the Vancouver, British Columbia, studio where Walla had recorded his Field Manual was stopped at the Peace Arch border crossing near Blaine, Washington.
