Their new 7” single is the first thing released on the new label, dBpm records, and it’s in stores now. “I Might”, the A side, is from the upcoming full length THE WHOLE LOVE, and the B side, “I Love My Label” is a cover of a Nick Lowe tune (who just happens to be heading out on tour with them. Synchronicity!)

TAKING THE PULSE OF 311
If we told you that P-Nut and SA are back, you’d know we weren’t talking about a candy bar, right? We’re talking about the rock/reggae band 311, roaring out of the Omaha Nebraska heartland, and bringing the party for the last two decades (plus!). The new album UNIVERSAL PULSE is out this week, and participating indie record stores will have a trippy piece of lenticular (3D-ish) artwork for you, when you buy the new record (CD or VINYL) as well as details on how to get a special remix download, that’s not on the record. While supplies last, and in this 311 summer—they’ve already hit the road, with that aforementioned party--we expect that won’t be long.

Anime on the big screen!!! TRIGUN at The Plaza, July 8-14th!
We're super excited that our friends at the Plaza Theatre (our city's oldest and only independently run movie theatre) will be showing Trigun: Badlands Rumble this coming week. As you may already know, Atlanta doesn't often show anime on the big screen, so this is a special treat. Trigun: Badlands Rumble will be playing at the Plaza for one week ONLY from Friday, July 8th, through Thursday, July 14th. If you're a fan of anime and/or manga (or any sort of animated films or comic books), please come out to the Plaza Theatre and show your support for this art form. Tell all your friends. BRING all your friends! If we can show that there is an audience for anime here in Atlanta, hopefully the Plaza will be able to book more anime films in the future. That would be an awesome future! UPDATE: Showtimes for July 8th through 14th... Details on how to win a pair of passes to see Trigun: Badlands Rumble at the Plaza Theatre after the jump...

New and/or Notable Stuff for the week of March 15
This week we've got some new stuff from J. Mascis, The Joy Formidable, The Damwells, Mother Mother and more! Stop by the store and check 'em out! - Emily CDs: Nearly all-acoustic, Several Shades Of Why was created with the help of a few friends. Notable amongst them are Kurt Vile, Sophie Trudeau (A Silver Mount Zion), Kurt Fedora (long-time collusionist), Kevin Drew (Broken Social Scene), Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses), Pall Jenkins (Black Heart Procession), Matt Valentine (The Golden Road), and Suzanne Thorpe (Wounded Knees).
The Joy Formidable -The Big Roar CD (Atlantic) The Village Voice called The Big Roar’s first single, "I Don't Want To See You Like This," "one of the band's best offerings yet, a breakup song that looks forward to the other side of heartache, with racing guitars and thundering drums that seem engineered to snap both parts of the still-attached couple out of their sad state.”
The Damnwells - No One Listens To The Band Anymore CD (PledgeMusic Recordings) Formed in Brooklyn in 2001, The Damnwells represent the songwriting efforts of singer/guitarist Alex Dezen, whose mix of alt-country and alternative pop/rock is supported by a variety of talented musicians and producers. Mother Mother - Eureka CD/LP (Last Gang) Eccentric, hook laden pop-meets-rock songs housed in creative arrangements with clever lyrics and intricate harmonies.

Corinne Bailey Rae - Is This Love
British songstress Corinne Bailey Rae takes a brief break from songwriting for her new project The Love (OUT NOW), an EP mini-album of cover songs set for pre-Valentine's Day release January 25. The new Love EP, her first new recordings since her 2010 sophomore album The Sea, contains songs by Paul McCartney ("My Love"), Prince ("I Wanna Be Your Lover") and Belly ("Low Red Moon") along with Rae's take on "Que Sera Sera", the Doris Day classic that she's been featuring recently in her live sets. Leading the way is a version of the Bob Marley classic "Is This Love", a song the 31-year-old singer describes as "that late, dirty 6/8 (time) thing". "I just thought about that song “Is This Love” and how poignant it sounds," says Rae, "and how it feels when it’s stretched out at that tempo. When it’s the start of a relationship and it’s this questioning—”Is this love?” “Is this it?” Is this what it feels like?”—it’s just so tentative. And I love the descriptions in the song, and I think it’s amazing, the idea of two people against the world in poverty and the idea that love is everything that you need." For her take on Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover", she says "It's just really fun! I thought, I never get to do really fun, synthy, aggressive bright things." Watch Corinne's live version of "Is This Love" after the jump. Full Idolator interview here. Read All
