Beck Announces US Tour Dates
Author: Daniel Taylor14 Jul
Since it’s been a whole three posts since anyone blogged about Beck, I figure I’d post the tour dates he just announced by posting delicious copy pasta culled from the press release:
Beck has announced a series of US tour dates to follow his previously announced summer festival appearances. The announcement comes on the heels of the release of Beck’s new album Modern Guilt, which Beck co-produced with Danger Mouse. Modern Guilt has already been declared a more-than-worthy addition to Beck’s discography - USA Today called the album “retro-contemporary fusion for the ages,” while Time calls the music “a joy… giddy retro-futurism.”
As always, Beck’s creativity extends into the presentation of his music. The vinyl edition of Modern Guilt, which will be in stores July 22, includes download codes for high-fidelity (320 kbps) MP3s produced from a playback of the vinyl master. In other words, the first MP3 starts with a needle drop, and the ten MP3s will sound like a vinyl playback. Leave it to Beck to invent the first mobile turntable.
See below for Beck’s U.S. summer/fall tour itinerary, newly announced dates are bold. Tickets for these new dates will go on sale the weekend of July 18/19, except for Kansas City which will go on sale Monday July 21st. See Beck.com for more information on ticket sales.

Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes Upcoming US Tour
Author: spencer19 Jun
Earlier today, Filter reported on the upcoming Europe and US tours from Bright Eyes wunderkind Conor Oberst. He’ll be joined by James Barone’s future wife Jenny Lewis (of Rilo Kiley) and The Evangelicals, the latter who I know absolutely nothing about. Homework time… What I do know is that Conor’s forthcoming solo album will be released on one of the only labels I love more than Saddle Creek, Merge Records.
If you see a longhaired dude looking like Jesus while pushing 14-year-old scene whores out of the way at his San Francisco show, feel free to say hi to me.
