Sometimes when you go and see one of your favorite bands play, however good the show may be, you find yourself strangely disappointed, either because the set sounded too stagey and planned, the group didn’t play any of your favorite songs, or the crowd was just not feeling it. That was definitely NOT the case with Rilo Kiley’s set last night at Stubb’s here in Austin. Blasting through a set of stone cold classics (”Pictures of Success” AND “Better Son/Daughter”?? No way!) and amazing newer tracks (”Dreamworld”, “Breakin’ Up”, “Close Call”? Awesome!) on this one of the band’s last stops on their “Under the Blacklight Tour”, Blake Sennet, Jenny Lewis, and the rest of the gang mounted an indie assault with loose flair in front of an incredibly receptive Austin audience that would soon forget! More pictures and the setlist (as best as I can remember it and a little bit out of order) and more pictures below!

According to the Stones Throw website, before J Dilla’s untimely passing he collaborated with none other than our favorite emcee MF Doom as well as the infamouse Ghostface Killah on a variety of tracks using samples from his swan song Donuts (some of these tracks ended up on Fishscale, while the Doom tracks have never surfaced).

According to this interview with Pitchfork, Gregg Gillis AKA Girl Talk will be releasing his newest album via ‘the Radiohead/NIN/pay-what-you-want model’ before the end of the week! That’s good news to us as this mashup-artist’s Night Ripper was one of our favorite pop wonderworks of yesteryear so we’ll be waiting with bated breath for Feed the Animals (not Food for Animals mind you, haha). Also check out the Girl Talk Myspace for the dronetastic prep-track for the album. Weird stuff man!
