In other news, the Jagjaguwar promotions department kicked things into overdrive last week. A few weeks ago many of you received the lovely letter from Spencer to Sarah as part of promotion for Moonface’s latest, Heartbreaking Bravery. Well this week we were all surprised to find in our mail boxes a letter from Sarah to Spencer:

Check out Plants and Animals performing Wolf Parade’s “I’ll Believe in Anything,” during their ‘Live from Breakglass’ session at Breakglass Studios in Montreal during the Pop Montreal Festival, September 24, 2011. This cover is the B-Side on the band’s single release of “Lightshow,” out now on iTunes and will be available as a 7″ in late February.
Recently, as in very very late last night, I stumbled upon a live Wolf Parade recording more than ten months older than the 31 live Wolf Parade recordings I already had. This recording is from a tour in which Wolf Parade opened for Modest Mouse and The Walkmen in a place called the Rostraver Ice Garden south of Pittsburgh. They played ten songs, two of which had never been recorded live (as far as I know), Killing Armies and Same Ghost Every Night. (Same Ghost Every Night was recorded three months later in a CBC Radio Session, but I believe that is different than a true live show.) Special thanks to Ryan Schwartz for recording and sharing the show.
