Boredoms x Thrill Jockey

Boredoms brand of noisome warbling isn’t to everyone’s taste, which could leave one wondering how the Japanese group is able to endlessly wrangle new collaborators. Regardless of that, though, Super Roots 10 is slated for release, via Chicago’s Thrill Jockey, on Sep 29th. But even if you weren’t alerted to that fact, you might just hear it playing a few miles away and figure it out.

Late of the Pier’s Singles Club

In a move reminiscent of the early indie days, Late of the Pier is recording tracks from home to release on their own label, Zarcorp Inc., while on break from touring. It’s a promising endeavor for the UK-based band, and they plan on limiting their monthly release to a 500 copy pressing on chic white vinyl. The whole point, Andrew Faley wrote in a mailer, was to preserve the music they enjoy. First up is a release from Pink Stallone, a duo out of Jersey, which he describes as “‘a pretty little disco number/dubby little disco number.’” NME is reporting that Faley also said that the DIY project allows for “‘…complete quality control, selling it entirely via paypal on the MySpace-and a few copies will be stocked in Escalator Records in Tokyo-and processing/posting them all from home.’”

Japan Erects Life-Sized Gundam Statue

Tags: ,

Earlier this week, in Japan, a statue of Gundam was completed in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the “Mobile Suit Gundam” anime series. Built by Bandai, this 60 foot Gundam RX-78-2 replica now towers over Tokyo Bay’s Odaiba Island. Fifty points on the Gundam statue will emit light, and mist will shoot out of 14 different points on the statue. The replica will be on display through most of the summer, so if you have a passport and some extra yen you can see for yourself that this is not a photo shop prank. [Kotaku.com]
