With the release of the Kindle Fire last week, here are some flame-related bands:
FOREST FIRE
www.myspace.com/fuckforestfire
The pitch-forky Forest Fire band announced some UK dates (see full listing below).
Their difficult sophomore album, Staring At The X, is enjoying lots of rave reviews, including Uncut Magazine, calling it "An exercise in urban folk with art-punk underpinnings".
Their latest single from Staring at the X is called "The News" and came out October 10th this year.
UK tour listing:
FIRE RECORDS
firerecords.com
Coming out the first week of December is Thee American Revolution's album, Buddha Electrostorm.
What is Thee American Revolution and why should you care, you ask? Well, this band features Robert Schneider as frontsman (Schneider is the frontsman for Apples in Stereo, who I had accidentally had an embarrassing momement with Rob at an Apples show).
Anyway, look for the record December 6th via Fire Records. Stay tuned for tour dates?
FILMS OF COLOUR
www.filmsofcolour.com
London's Films of Colour is releasing a free downloadable cover of David Bowie's "Slow Burn" on December 12th. I will set a reminder for the 12th under our freebies section.
The song is entirely endorsed by Bowie himself and Bowie's producer, Tony Visconti (who produced the original Bowie song).
Visconti had this to say about the song: "I knew the song because I produced it with David Bowie on his 2001 album Heathen, but Films of Colour had altered it so much they had clearly made it their own."
SHELBY EARL

Shelby Earl's debut solo album, Burn the Boats came out November 1st via Local 638 Records.
What's endearing is to read LA Times and NPR music critic Ann Powers, writing and pleading you to please listen to Earl's album:
See Earl live in California on December 14 at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach and December 17 at Bootleg Bar in Los Angeles.
HYPE JONES

Finally, not a fan of these "mix tapes" that is all the rage with DJs and mixers. They're just hours and hours of mixes.
This one called All Fire No Fills Vol 4 runs about an hour and features plenty of girlies, including Katy B, Robyn, Lykke Li, Adele, etc.
Listen to the full thing at cloud of sounds.

... In general, though, I've clung to that old idea that critical perspective and personal connection don't mix.
Until now. I'm writing this note to ask you to listen to an album by a friend. Shelby Earl is a singer-songwriter with a sharp pen and a sumptuous voice, who took a while to fully uncover her own talent.
