Matthew Sweet, Velvet Crush, John Doe, Peter Case and others are contributing to the soundtrack for the retro-sexy flick Camp Burlesque, on Rick Menck's new Birdsong Records label early next year. Speaking of Menck and Velvet Crush, the Tower I plundered tonight (60% off pop/rock!) literally had about five dozen copies of minor power-pop classic Free Expression, and similar numbers of other Bobsled releases from the Chamber Strings and the Waxwings. Did some Tower buyer think these would be blockbusters circa 2000?Looking for year-end best-of lists? Wonder how so many bloggers can top-rate all the same stuff? Head over to Largehearted Boy for a staggering compendium of Voxtrot enthusiasts and other listmakers.
Secretly Canadian has quietly put up a new track from Richard Swift, a songwriter with a classic Brill Building bent; think a less ostentatious Rufus Wainwright. "Kisses From the Misses" is from his sophomore release Dressed Up for the Letdown, due in February.
