While in San Francisco last week, Handsome Furs recorded two songs for the amazing La Blogotheque’s video series, which they call Take Away Shows. It appears the blog has traveled stateside and had recently been shooting videos for the likes of Beirut. The furs recorded two songs with La Blogotheque: Dead and Rural and Radio’s Hot Sun. At their show in San Francisco, members of the audience reported that Dan spoke of the video session stating that they filmed outside at an abandoned building that was under construction. Keep checking the Take Away Shows site for the videos which should be up in a few weeks! A big thanks goes out to the Big M and hammydigital for all the details.

Wolf Parade’s month long tour is now over. If you were able to catch a show on the tour, then you heard some of the new songs that the band have been working on for their much anticipated second record. While there is no official word, the rumor is that the new record will be out sometime in March/April. Until then check out the forum for some mp3s of the new songs as well as the most up to date news. Here are some reviews and pictures from the last few Wolf Parade shows:

If you were lucky enough to pre order the new Sunset Rubdown album ‘Random Spirit Lover’ from insound.com early, here is the silk-screened poster you will receive. You can also try your local indie record store as well. Thanks Mike for the heads up! Also, thanks to Nicole from insound for all your help.
The day has come! Sunset Rubdown’s ‘Random Spirit Lover’ is now availavble for pre order! Check both Jagjaguwar and Insound.com for details.
According to Stereogum.com : if you order early enough, you’ll get a silk-screened poster featuring some original Spencer artwork (”a herd of unicorns fighting a winged man-thing,” natch). Available in a limited run of 800, fyi, and not available through the Jagjaguwar pre-order. If all you’ve got nearby is Target, don’t bother, and just try your luck at Insound; they’ll have a small number to give with preorders, too. If anyone has more info about were the posters will be available please email me- wp@nonstuff.com.
