RHCP aren't playing BDO

Well you were wrong weren't you? You thought you were so smart rattling off 'rumoured' Big Day Out acts with a certain level of feigned authority. You were wrong, because the worst kept secret in the universe, the Red Hot Chili Peppers headlining the massive Aussie festival proved to be wrong, as they locked in a big national tour for April and not January. Dont worry, you can impress your friends still with these rumours: New Pornographers, Bloc Party, My Chemical Romance, The Knife, The Killers (Dang), Muse, Eagles Of Death Metal, Jet (Double Dang) and Gnarls Barkley. The 'dancefloor will keep you posted when more rumours and actual announcements come through.



John Darnielle and his Mountain Goats project are a wbdf favourite, so when a new album bearing the Mountain Goats name is released we get a little excited. The new single 'If You See Light'from that very LP is yet another step forward for the 'Goats, and is a piano-driven gem with interesting percussive elements and a nice little intermittent horn section, yet most noteably the formerly ubiquitous acoustic guitar has been relegated to the periphery. Compare this to John's lo-fi days and you can see why he took on the band and ditched the 8-track. Plus the video for 'Woke Up New' is out as well, so I posted it above.
