1st Annual Mother Hips Family Hipnic in Big Sur July 3th & 4th!

"The Mother Hips, a Bay Area quartet, hooked up nearly twenty years ago at Chico State. A couple of record deals and sabbaticals later, they continue to deliver a romping strain of countrified psychedelic power pop laced with traces of Merle Haggard, Barry Gibb, and the Eagles. Tim Bluhm and Greg Loiacano, the songwriters and front men, know how to sing it sweet and play it dirty." -New Yorker Magazine

The Hips want to celebrate Independence Day with you! Gathering friends and family, they're taking over the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur and throwing two full day events, closing each night. Details below:

New Releases: June 30th

Wilco - Wilco (The Album) CD/2xLP+CD (Nonesuch)
Wilco’s seventh album combines the intimacy of its previous studio disc, Sky Blue Sky, with the experimentation of A Ghost Is Born in a set that boasts strong melodies and gorgeous, often unabashedly pop arrangements.

Bjork - Voltaic CD/CD+DVD/2xCD+2xDVD Nonesuch)
Voltaic is a remarkable, multi-media document of what happened after Volta was completed -- a journey of a different sort as the ever-evolving singer assembled her live band, made a collection of typically amazing videos and one-step-ahead remixes, and toured the world. She recorded the Voltaic live CD in one take at Olympic Studio in London. It's a stunning performance, featuring cutting-edge computer technology, an old-school horn section and a female, flag-toting Icelandic choir. Deluxe version includes the Voltiac live CD plus a DVD featuring 21 songs performed on the Volta tour. Super deluxe 2xCD+2xDVD version features live recordings, remixes, videos and much more.

Levon Helm - Electric Dirt CD/LP (Vanguard)
Electric Dirt again finds Levon steeped in tradition in his connection to the land and those who live by it, but this record goes deeper and wider, incorporating gospel, blues and soul elements in a bracing collection of originals and carefully chosen outside songs.

Moby - Wait For Me CD/LP+MP3 (Mute)
Wait For Me is a radical departure from Moby's recent albums. Liberated from the pressures of trying to please himself at the same time as the industry, Moby decided to forego the expensive studios, state-of-the-art equipment, big name guest artists, and phalanxes of graphic designers and image consultants that have characterized some of his previous albums. "There's something so relaxing about doing everything yourself, and not trying to second-guess the market," Moby says. "It's nice to try to do things for the right reasons -- just make a record because you want to make a record."

Willie Isz - Georgiavania CD/LP (Lex)
Acclaimed producer, lyricist and singer Jneiro Jarel teams up with Goodie Mob’s Khujo Goodie.

This Month's Featured Artists

Ramblin Jack Elliott A Stranger Here ANTI/ADA An influence on everyone from Bob Dylan to the Rolling Stones, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott tackles depression-era blues songs on A Stranger Here. Working with producer Joe Henry and guests Van Dyke Parks and David Hidalgo (Los Lobos), Elliott wraps his world-scarred voice around these dark songs of dark days, making his masterpiece: an album at once elegiac and defiant that can stand beside great late-career recordings by master singers like Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra. Bob Mould Life and Times ANTI/ADA 30 years since the formation of Husker Du and 20 years since their explosive demise and the release of his first lauded solo effort Workbook, Bob Mould is marking anniversaries with Life And Times, an album filled with self-reflection and an unflinching examination of the world. Standouts like "I'm Sorry Baby, But You Can’t Stand in My Light Anymore" highlight an artist completing a cycle decades in the making, his talent undiminished, his perspective acute. Gomez A New Tide ATO/RED A New Tide marks a return to the always free-wheeling British band’s more experimental roots, with songs like “Win Park Slope” and “Airstream Driver” evincing a spirit born of boundless imagination and a long-standing collaborative relationship. A wide range of styles is incorporated into A New Tide’s matchless musical brew. Flavors of Delta Blues, psychedelia, and Krautrock all come into play, resulting in a musically mischievous and remarkably forward-thinking collection. Wavves Wavvves Fat Possum/RED When not watching cops or drinking 40s in the park, Nathan Daniel William blogs on classic rap and records waves of effortlessly great slack/crust/beach/punk compressed onto 4-track cassette in his San Diego Bedroom. Has already seen glowing press from Pitchfork, Stereogum, Fader Magazine, Color Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan and more! Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears Tell ‘Em What Your Names Is! Lost Highway/UMD “Inspiration from artists such as Otis Redding and The Bar-Kays, James Brown and Lightnin’ Hopkins are clearly present in their songs and live shows, but Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears inject a full-tilt, unabashedly brash element to this old-school style.” - Starpulse.com

Playing For Change*Songs Around The WorldConcord Music Group/UMD

Playing For Change (PFC) is an extraordinary effort uniting musicians and vocalists from diverse parts of the world. Utilizing innovative mobile audio/video techniques, PFC captures these artists then combines it all together to create one seamless collaboration. Classic songs written by Bob Marley, U2, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Tracy Chapman, and more are featured on this multimedia experience. Special guests on the project include U2’s Bono, Bob Marley, Afro Fiesta, Keb’ Mo’ and more.

The Felice Brothers*Yonder Is The Clock-Team Love/ADA

The Felice Brothers are from the Catskill Mountains, where a homegrown sound has worked its way through the bloodlines for generations. Titled with a phrase from Mark Twain, Yonder Is The Clock, is a nod to all of the American ghosts that lend their narrative and character to this record with tales of love, death, betrayal, baseball, train stations, phantoms, pandemics, jail cells, rolling rivers, and frozen winter nights. This music hasn’t lost sight of the history of the land from which it came. That quality alone makes them the next great American band.

Maria Bamford*Unwanted Thoughts Syndrome-Comedy Central/ADA

The CD features almost an hour of hilarious stories told with characters in her inimitable, idiosyncratic style. The DVD features 90 minutes of fantastic video shorts, which originally appeared as "The Maria Bamford Show" web series on Super Deluxe. Maria is well-known from her two "Comedy Central Presents" specials, two critically acclaimed and strong-selling albums, her role in "The Comedians Of Comedy", and in Fox's series "Sit Down, Shut Up", from the talk show circuit, and from extensive touring.

Eulogies*Here Anonymous-Dangerbird/ADA

Ignoring the current imperative for a hipster indie-club single sensation, Here Anonymous is meant to be listened to as an album, to impart a feeling and atmosphere that takes time to create. Fortunately frontman Peter Walker, whose understated vocals and warm guitar licks evoke a high-point of late-1980s indie rock (think the Feelies, Yo La Tengo, Grant Lee Buffalo), is a songwriter able to convey a sense of catharsis that makes an album-length listen rewarding.

The Black Crowes*Warpaint Live-Eagle Rock/Fontana

Specializing in a free-spirited, blues-infused form of rock ‘n’ roll, The Black Crowes are an essential piece of rock music history. Warpaint Live double CD came out in April with an accompanying DVD available later this year. After 10 years of touring around the world and 20 million records sold, The Black Crowes took a 5 year hiatus. In 2005 the band re-united and re-ignited. Three years later, they released Warpaint, their first new studio album in seven years. Warpaint Live is a celebration of this new album, performed before a sold-out Los Angeles crowd. Throwing in a few classic songs as well as some previously unreleased covers, The Black Crowes prove they are one of the most powerful and best live rock ‘n’ roll acts around.
