Aussie  label Hidden Shoal is featured in Tour Tour Tour! for the next couple weeks. Great bands live here. Swing by to have a listen.

We made the Independent today, which is awesome but we’re not to sure about the “glorified groupie” part. All the same, we’re thrilled.

We also want to hip you to the Pygmalion Music Festival going on in Champaign, Illinios September 17-20. Yo La Tengo,Dan Deacon, High Places, Black Mountain Asobi Seksu and Times New Viking are just a few that will kill it over 4 days. More info is right here.

We’ve added a little something to the profile options at BTTV.

Swell.

We got back from a oh so fresh time in the city of lakes, Minneapolis. Now we dig in to bring you some more action. We’ll be launching a “Featured Label” addition to the homepage in a week or so. Though we don’t know if “Featured Label” is the best moniker. If you have a better idea…let us know.

Plus there are a couple things in the works but it’s hush, hush.
