There will be a reviews of the Fanfarlo and Camera Obscura albums in the next day or two, but just a reminder that this saturday is RECORD STORE DAY. There's loads of limited edition vinyl being released on the day and loads of bands playing in shops. It should be a brilliant day. TracksandGigs will be at Rough Trade East, Pure Groove and Sister Ray and will report back on Sunday. Find your nearest participating shop here:

I'm currently reading a great book called 'Last Shop Standing - whatever happened to record shops' and, despite being a brilliant read, it is enough to make you weep. Get out and support your local record shop on Saturday - they need all the help they can get.

Stephen Malkmus - Daytrotter Session
He recorded one of the albums of 2008, he plays a mean game of scrabble....and he is going to reform Pavement soon (I sincerely believe), yet Stephen Malkmus has still found time to record a Daytrotter session! Hurrah.
Awfully good it is too. You can listen to it right here:

Track 1 doesn't count. Track 3 is 'Wicked Wanda' from 'Real Emotional Trash' which is a slight disappointment because he could've gone for the title track, 'Baltimore' or 'Gardenia' (my favourites basically), but still. Track 2 is a super version of 'Vanessa For Queens' from 'Pig Lib' and the last track 'Funk 49' is a brand NEW song, which is really groovy and loose and Malk sounds just great. As do The Jicks of course.
In nearly-related news, one of the vinyl only releases coming out on the fantastic RECORD STORE DAY (April 18th) is a Pavement live LP from Germany in 1997. Still awaiting news on whether this will be available in UK RSD-supporting record stores, but I hope so, since I will be spending the whole of that day in London looking for rare items and just spending as much time as possible in as many record shops as I can find!
