There are some some great shows floating around The Traders Den right now, so here you go. First, there’s this Arcade Fire:

Arcade Fire 2008-01-30 The Forum, Melbourne, Australia (FLAC)

While we wait to see if that TMV Atlanta show actually happens, here’s something to keep us busy. This is the first time The Mars Volta have ever done an FM broadcast of their show, so pick this essential one up:

THE MARS VOLTA FM BROADCAST – 1.30.2008, UC Irvine (en-dw remaster) (FLAC)

If you want to get a taste of what will be one the best shows at Bonnaroo, go get this:

Battles 2008-01-28 Big Day Out, Flemington Racecourse, Melbourne, Australia (FLAC)

If you missed the Cut Chemist, DJ Shadow, and Kid Koala show a few weeks ago, here’s another recent show to jam:

Monday Night Mash-Up

Smashing Pumpkins have announced more tour dates and will be in Athens, Ga November 7th.

Ghostface Killah is doing a college campus tour sponsored by Adult Swim and will be at Georgia Tech October 10th. …And You Will Know Of From The Trail Of Dead will also be going on an Adult Swim sponsored tour with Dethklok of the series Metalocalypse. There are no dates for that yet and I’m not sure really how a band on a cartoon will play live shows.

Voodoo Festival, which we will be covering in New Orleans, LA at the end of October, has released a schedule.

Cable and Tweed have a review of the Black Lips, Selmanaires, and Coathangers show in Athens, Ga last week complete with live mp3s from the night. They also have a Do Make Say Think live show up.

Confessions Of A Music Addict have a great preview of the upcoming Atlantis Music Festival in Atlanta this week.

Band Of Horses will be at The Park Tavern in Piedmont Park October 14th.

Albums coming out tommorrow that I’m going to check out:





Get some nice PJ Harvey tracks here.

Friday Free-Style

We start today with a video of The Smashing Pumpkins comeback show:

I never covered the Pitchfork Fest additions of Mastodon, Junior Boys, Voxtrot, Cadence Weapon, Brightblack Morning Light, The Field, Cool Kids, and William Parker Quartet. Now with the combination of a night with legendary artists performing some of the best albums ever written and two days of the people making the very best albums of the last 2 years, I think musically this is by far the best festival of the year. On top of that, it is only 50 bucks for three days so it is also the greatest bargain of the year. I often have my quips with Pitchfork’s opinions but they sure nailed this line-up. Here it is in case you forgot:

Friday, July 13:

Sonic Youth perform Daydream Nation
GZA/Genius performs Liquid Swords
Slint perform Spiderland

Saturday, July 14:

Creative Loafing did a cover story on Atlanta blogs this week and profiled our friends over at Cable And Tweed. Props for repping the B’s in da A.
