Pitchfork makes my hobby easier by bulleting the New Pornographers upcoming tour. In a move that hurts my soul, there will be no pornos in Des Moines this time around.

New album out 8/21.
The po-po left Wrigley in a state of disarray. For this I say, "fuck the Police."
According to MusicAlly (via TechDigest), the long-rumored Yellow Submarine iPod is back on track now that the iPhone has been launched. This iPod would contain all the songs the Beatles have ever recorded as part of a tie-in with the Beatles on iTunes launch. Seems pretty far-fetched to me. I mean, why not do a Revolution 9 iPod? Or a Martha My Dear one? Or the best would be a Magical Mystery iPod. That would rule.

Matt Pond PA has announced the release of Last Night September 25. Evidently it was a troubled recording process. You can read about that yourself. Of note is that Neko Case and Brooke Kelly Hogan contributed vocals.
So September is a few months away. Download the If You Want Blood EP for a taste - a taste of the new music, not the blood - you get me.
So did you see the massive Live Earth show yesterday on 7/7/07? Yeah, me neither -- holiday weekend and all. I did get to see Roger Waters perform Another Brick in the Wall, but I thought the smile on his face the whole time seemed disingenuous to the spirit of the song. But, whatever. Catch what you missed here.
If you were hoping to pick up the new Crowded House album Time on Earth today because it came out yesterday everywhere else, well, you'll be disappointed. It's not out here in the states until the 10th, but:
you can pre-order it now from iTunes US. The download album comes with two bonus tracks, "Lost Island" and "Stare Me Out", and if you pre-order the album, you'll also receive a live version of "World Where You Live", recorded at the Crowded House webcast from Real World Studios earlier this year.
In the meantime, here's the video for the excellent new single Don't Stop Now:
