[News] Mesita Reveals Cover Art and Tracklist for Third LP
Last month, we premiered a brand new song from Denver, Colorado musician James Cooley's solo project Mesita. The song, titled "Everything Is Burning," is a fantastic example of Cooley's knack for creating songs that are wholly engrossing and vibrant, and the track is one twelve to be featured on his forthcoming third LP The Coyote. While previously without cover art, tracklisting and release date, all three have been announced via Cooley himself. Above, you can take a look at the album's awesome and psychedelic artwork, which is instantly reminiscent of Tame Impala's Innerspeaker cover art, albeit a winter equivalent. Along with the cover art, you can take a look at the tracklisting for the album after the jump, and give "Everything Is Burning" a listen below.
The Coyote is out on April 3rd, and make sure to follow Mesita on both Facebook and Twitter.

[News x Watch] Radiohead Announce UK Dates, Debut Another New Song Live
UK Radiohead fans, rejoice! The band has just announced a string of three UK dates set for October this year. One at Manchester's MEN Arena on the 6th of Oct. and two at London's O2 Arena on the 8th and 9th. No doubt the shows will be a must see! Also to help prevent ticket touts/scalpers, it's going to be a strict paperless ticketing system. Pretty cool. Jump over here for more details.
As well as his last week we saw the band debut two new tracks on the opening night of their huge "King of Limbs" Tour and they've done it again. Unveiled in Dallas last night the track s titled "Skirting on the Surface" which can be seen via some fan shot footage at the top. I have a feeling we're going to be seeing more tracks in the coming weeks.
[News] Coachella 2012 Announce Sideshows
In between the two weekends of this year's Coachella Music Festival, you would think most of the bands performing will be wandering aimlessly around California, unsure of what to do with their free time.

Golden Voice, the promotor of the festival has booked Bon Iver, M83, Arctic Monkeys, St. Vincent, and many more to play shows in between the two Coachella weekends. Take a look at the poster above to see the full lineup, and keep your eyes peeled for sideshow tickets at Golden Voice's website.
