San Diego’s annual Street Scene festival was truly a sight to behold. A large section of San Diego’s downtown and West Village was sectioned off and made home to four stages, forty bands, and thousands upon thousands of voracious music lovers. From bros rolling joints to cute hipster chicks with flasks taped to their thighs, the surroundings were cramped, but everyone was in such a good mood that no one seemed to mind the lack of breathing room.
Oakland rockers Man/Miracle have released a new 7-inch entitled “Pushing And Shoving/You’ve Got A Hold On Meâ€. The song “Pushing And Shoving†was previously included on the band’s supergood self-titled full-length album, and “You’ve Got A Hold On Me†is previously unreleased. You can listen to the A-Side at their MySpace, the B-Side here, and buy the record and other merch here.
From GloriousNoise:
Bob Dylan – “Mississippi” from from Tell Tale Signs: the Bootleg Series Vol. 8, out October 7.
This excellent, sparse version of “Mississippi” is available free for a limited time, so get it while you can. It’s well worth the hassle of downloading Amazon’s MP3 store app. Your download experience should be hassle-free.
From The Onion’s Audio/Visual Club:
The A.V. Club is delighted to point you to a free download of a new live collaboration between Wilco and Fleet Foxes, a cover of Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released” which was recorded in Bend, OR on the recent Wilco tour. Wilco’s working with Headcount.org, “a nonpartisan, non-profit organization dedicated to voter registration and inspiring participation in democracy through the power of music.” So when you download this track, you’ll be asked to click a simple button, pledging to vote in the upcoming national election on November 4. And if you’re feeling particularly generous, Wilco’s also suggesting you make a donation to Second Harvest/Feed America.
Without further ado: Go here to download the track!
After playing at San Diego’s Street Scene, Owl&Bear is ready for more, and Man Man are set to deliver, beginning in Austin on September 27th. Non-stop touring in support of their Anti- Records debut Rabbit Habits has sent Man Man across the US and Europe, and they’re set to do it again.
In October, they’ll be joined by labelmate Tim Fite and his brother, Dr. Leisure.
Tourdates after the jump.
