Stylee Fridays: Velour Fall '08
Here in the style department we're often so focused on what's next—foraging stripy dresses (so very Dries, darlings) for the spring and stashing itty bitty rompers for next summer—that we completely forget about what's actually factually happening right now. Of course it's always important to take a good, hard look at what's going on with your fall/winter wardrobe just to figure out what sort of style loopholes need patching up—a good pair of boots or a coat for example. Velour is a Swedish label we came across earlier this year at Capsule, and we touched on it briefly in a review of the tradeshow. What we saw there was actually Spring '09 (stay with us), awesome classic pieces with a Scandinavian twist. Velour started out with a store selling deadstock vintage clothing, and the little classicisms in their line kind of make sense when you think back to those origins. Anyway, working backwards in the collection and forwards in our closets, Fall/Winter '08 Velour is full of amazing basics—great knits and tailored pants, all subtly updated with a modern fit and color palette. As much as we loved the spring collection, the Swedes are obviously better equipped when it comes to designing with colder climes in mind. And there are plenty of things to help us keep us cozy and stylish right now—the double-breasted Owen cardigan in oatmeal, the James shawl sweater in orange, and the London coat in grey. For the girls: the dark denim Samantha Chinos and oversized Nadia plaid shirt. Check the pics after the jump.

LA: Michele Bigler Benefit Show Featuring No Age
This Sunday, October 12, at the Echoplex in Los Angeles there will be an early show benefit for Michele Bigler, a Los Angeles artist and local music scene fixture. Recently Bigler was diagnosed with cancer, and like too many of us, does not have health insurance to help pay her medical bills. The show will be headlined by No Age and also features performances from David Scott Stone, The Tyde, The Movies and more. All proceeds from the $12 ticket go directly towards Bigler's treatment.

Madlib Remixes Madvillainy, Curates BBE Comp
We don't want to call MF DOOM an unreliable guy. We like to imagine that instead of recording music he is sneaking around doing important stuff like hunting down Osama bin Laden or building seal habitats. Either way, the fact remains: The rumored follow-up to Madvillainy, DOOM's 2004 collaboration with Madlib, remains unfinished.
While we wait for the album, Madlib has stepped in to make up for his Madvillain partner's absence with the release of a record called Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix. Madvillainy 2 shares no song titles with Madvillainy, but that just makes it easier to treat this reworking as a new entity.
The digital version of Madvillainy 2 is available exclusively from Stones Throw's online store right now, but still forthcoming is a souped-up edition of the record called Madvillainy 2: The Box. The Box includes the Madvillainy 2 CD, a 7" featuring "One Beer (Drunk Version)", a cassette featuring The Madvillainy Demo Tape which leaked online prior to Madvillainy's release, a Madvillain t-shirt, and a comic book continuation of the "All Caps" video. All of this comes in a box "wrapped in silver like a mask," according to Stones Throw's description.
Stones Throw is manufacturing copies of Madvillainy 2: The Box based on pre-orders, so anyone who wants one should order by August 15 to receive a copy after the guaranteed ship date of September 15. The cost of The Box is steep-- $124.99 plus shipping-- but such is price of so many goodies.
And you know that's not all Madlib's up to. On September 30, he'll unveil his contribution to BBE's series Beat Generation. Titled WLIB AM: King of the Wigflip, the compilation includes tracks from Guilty Simpson, J.Rocc, Murs, Madlib himself, and his thing with Oh No, the Professionals. WLIB AM is anchored by a bunch of offerings from Madlib's Beat Konducta guise, and will bear the stamps of both BBE and Rapster Records.
Speaking of Beat Konducta, Madlib plans to re-adopt the moniker for a fifth volume of instrumental head-nodders called Dil Cosby Suite. That disc may surface as soon as next month. Also in the pipeline: a record called Miles Away from Madlib's Last Electro-Acoustic Space Jazz & Percussion Ensemble.
As for DOOM, if we cross our fingers extra hard, maybe we'll see his ages-in-the-making Ghostface collaboration Swift & Changeable before the year is out? -
New Music: Grizzly Bear: "Two Weeks" (Live on "Late Show With David Letterman") [Video/MP3]
Grizzly Bear's Ed Droste has been hinting at a poppier mood for the Brooklyn experimental combo's forthcoming follow-up to the masterful Yellow House and Friend EP releases. As performed last night on "Late Show With David Letterman", new song "Two Weeks" is indeed "sunnier," as Droste had suggested, but it's also full of the soaring harmonies and sylvan intricacies that have made Grizzly Bear's previous works smarter (and awesomer) than the average. Accompanied by Thomas "Doveman" Bartlett, Droste & co. put bouncy Zombies keyboards over atmospheric guitars and clickety-clack drumming. "A routine malaise," Droste croons, a sentiment that's sunny only for a city where the building next door blocks out all your bedroom's natural light. Big thanks to ryann7739 and ratsnratsnrats! of atease web for the tip.

Liz Phair Bringing Guyville to Philly, D.C., Boston
When Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville shows in San Francisco, New York, and Chicago were announced last month, we were told that "no additional shows" would be announced. That, as it turns out, was a goddamned lie, which is good news for residents of three East Coast cities.
Liz and band will tackle Guyville three more times towards the end of August over consecutive nights in Philly, D.C., and Boston. All this, of course, comes in the wake of the deluxe reissue of Guyville from Phair's new label ATO. Let's just hope the Chicago show was an outlier, yeah?

Okkervil River Extend Tour
Photo by Shannon McClean
Man, after this long on the road, Okkervil River's gonna need a few Stand Ins of their own. The ardent Austin band, soon to release a sorta-sequel to last year's fine The Stage Names LP, have thrown a bunch of dates onto the back end of their tour itinerary, which now sees them on the road at least a little (and mostly a lot) every month from this one through November. A set at Lollapalooza next weekend in Chicago gets things started.
The Stand Ins is due from Jagjaguwar September 9 in North America, October 13 in the U.K., September 1 in France, September 12 in Germany, September 17 in Japan, and September 8 throughout the rest of Europe. Got all that? -
Los Campesinos!, Wedding Present Play Indietracks
Indietracks is sort of an awkward name for a thing, sure, like Dijonnaise. Then again, just like there's no more appropriate term for the intersection of dijon mustard and mayonnaise, what the hell else are you gonna call a festival where indie bands perform on real live trains? Exactly.
So, Indietracks it is. Taking place July 26-27 at the Midland Railway in Butterley, England, the fest packs a mess of indie pop bands onto three boring old static stages, plus, as we cannot possibly mention enough, one stage on a moving train.
The likes of the Wedding Present, Los Campesinos!, Manhattan Love Suicides, Airport Girl, the Wave Pictures, Comet Gain, Ballboy, Red Pony Clock, Milky Wimpshake, Shrag, St. Christopher, the Smittens, and oh so many others will slide into the station this coming weekend. - asdf asdfadsf asdf dExpand All
