I need a caffeine IV

Since I'm so tired this morning that I'm thinking of eating coffee straight from the can, here's some random music news.

Speaking of lalas and handclaps...
Sloan will be playing the Austin City Limits TODAY (9/17). If you are like me and love Sloan, but are nowhere near Austin today, you can still listen to the webcast via the Yahoo website (Yahoo is broadcasting selected bits from the whole festival). Sloan will be on between 4:00 and 5:00pm central time. More details...

Strokes Kill Live Record
"Remember that hype about an upcoming Strokes live album? Well, it apparently sucked, so the band put it on ice." Nice.

This one should be interesting... Dre Collaborates with Bacharach
Do you think Dre's peeps are gonna buy it? I'm not so sure.

This one goes out to Shay...
"Pinback will release their third full-length album October 12 on Touch and Go; the album, titled Summer in Abaddon, will be the band’s first album on the label. The band also expects to have an EP ready for sale on their upcoming album-support tour. They'll also be at the blind pig in Ann Arbor on 11/3/04." (Via 30music.com)
One of these days I'm going to have to get around to listening to them.

Hugs and Kisses...
