Glitchy is, sketchy do?
Crystal Castles have canceled their Oct 27th Vancouver show.
In other recent CC news, this from NME:
Crystal Castles have revealed how they used a getaway car to escape from Brighton police – after officers were called during a particularly raucous show by the electro duo.
Ethan Kath told The Independentthat during a recent festival show in the coastal town, which he didn’t specify, authorities were called because of the frenetic antics of frontwoman Alice Glass.
“They called the cops on Alice for riling up the crowd,” he explained. “After our show, the promoter said the police were there to arrest her and we needed to disappear, so we had to get in a getaway car.”
Elaborating on why the police may have been called, Kath added, “The live experience is all about Alice.
“She is a mental case on stage, and is just uncontrollable. She loses herself in the music. After the show, she is covered in bruises and she can’t remember how they got there.”
Im sure some of you have heard about their stolen art work, T-shirt logo scandal which was recently settled.
??-Maybe the cancellation has something to do with their previous Vancouver outing where the group were late to the stage and when they finally went on, only played for 20 minutes? -It was however, reported to be a mind-blowing 20 minutes.
Perhaps their previous outing cost them some of their less than amused fans and ticket sales were slow?
Despite their, “issues” they’re currently still one of my big crushes right now and would almost go so far as saying that their album has been one of the most exciting and fully wholesome things to happen in electronic music since Daft Punk’s “Homework” and I was looking forward to the show.
I’d love to hear more about why they’re canceling shows too, so hit us up if you know more…..
In the meantime I will rejoice with my refunded $30 which I will now use to buy enough inhalants to get me through the wknd.

Our pal, Minna forwarded this. Danish group, Laid Back are best known for their seminal early 80’s dance track and coke jam, “White Horse”. This is one of their lesser known gems from 1990. The video was directed by fellow countryman Lars Von Trier. Check out their beautifully crafted website for more Laid Back.
iConcertCal
Never miss your favorite band passing through town again.
Iconcertcal is a free plugin for iTunes that tells you when bands in your library are playing shows in your city.
It appears promoters and artists are slowly getting up to speed on this fantastic thing.
The Born Ruffians
Toronto indie faves, “Born Ruffians” are coming to town October 10th, playing Richard’s. Their album, “Red, Yellow & Blue” which came out in May is up for the best album award by the Toronto XM station The Verge.
At their last Vancouver stint the band played a low key show last March at the Media club which was subsequently listed as one of the best shows of the last year in the current Georgia Straight “Best Of” issue.
If that’s not enough to convince you have a listen.
From their forthcoming EP, “Little Garcon” which features some new tracks and another remix by Four Tet. Coming out September 30th.

And now, a message from radiohead
To coincide with asking radio stations to think about playing “Reckoner” we are breaking up the tune into pieces for you to remix. After the insane response we got from the “Nude” remix stems and the site that was dedicated to your remixes…
Unique visitors: 6,193,776, Page Views: 29,090,134, Hits: 58,340,512, Bandwidth: 10.666 Terabytes, Number of mixes: 2,252, Number of votes: 461,090, Number of track listens: 1,745,304
…we thought it only fair to do the same with a tune that at least is in 4/4. You can get the stems (the different instruments/elements) from here
Sample, cut, take the sounds, whatever. Play it in a club. Or your room. Then if you want you can upload your finished mixes to http://www.radioheadremix.com and be judged by everyone else. You can create a widget allowing votes from your own site, Facebook or MySpace to be sent through too. To start things off we asked James Holden and Diplo to do their versions.
Oh, and by the way, if you weren’t lucky enough to get your hands on one of our recycled plastic bottle shirts at a show this summer, you’ll be glad to hear we’ve made some more and they are available at thew.a.s.t.e. shop here
All at w.a.s.t.e x
New Strokes Side Project
Strokes drummer, Fab Moretti has started the side project, “Little Joy“. Named after a Los Angeles, Echo Park dive bar of the same name, the band consists of Moretti’s girlfriend Binki Shapiro and Brazillian singer guitarist Rodrigo Amarante (formerly of Los Hermanos) who all moved in to a house together in the area.
It sounds remarkably similar to a stripped down version of the Strokes which I have absolutely no complaints about.
An 11 track album is being released November 4th. Check out more Little Joy at their myspace.

Christina Aguilera Would Be Proud
From the Houston Imports forum:
This has nothing to do with the Hurricane. We had a resident who had an outstanding balance for over a month and no one could get ahold of her. The Bookkeeper went inside after so many tries to leave a note and this is what we found. The pictures do NO justice. There is suppose to be 2 cats living here but we cant find them (we think they’re dead somewhere inside the apartment-we contacted the SPCA). The place REEKS to say the leaks, i gagged non stop.
At least the person keeps their, “computer area” clean, they must be a Winnie Cooper devotee.

The Rapture have a new album out, not a studio album but rather a dj kicks compilation. From the looks of things they will continue their rein of excellence. More info and tracklisting over at Pedestrian TV. This is a previously unreleased track of theirs that showed up on the Grand Theft Auto IV soundtrack.
