The band explained the move: Our good "friend" Jose has decided to shack up with my (Tom) ex-girlfriend immediately after she broke my heart and left me. The two hid it from me for weeks over christmas and only until yesterday when I had to find out was I informed. Great guy! Stand up guy! Well to put it bluntly he's out of the band for good and hopefully lives a terrible life forever. gyaeger Mon, 05 Jan 2009 21:57:38 +0000 http://www.showpopr.com/Houston_Calls_boots_guitarist http://www.showpopr.com/Houston_Calls_boots_guitarist Thanks again to ap.net for another great deal in their amazon mp3 agreement.

An album that sells 200,000 copies makes the label between 1 million dollars and 1.4 million dollars. So now imagine calling an album that sells 700k copies a flop. If you can’t turn a profit on that, then it’s probably not the bands fault for “only” selling 200k. Maybe it’s time for a new business model. heavensent Mon, 05 Jan 2009 18:52:06 +0000 http://www.showpopr.com/Anthony_Raneri_of_Bayside_responds_to_Biggest_Flops_of_2008 http://www.showpopr.com/Anthony_Raneri_of_Bayside_responds_to_Biggest_Flops_of_2008 We talked to a bunch of producers before we got hooked up with Deryck from Sum 41. We hit it off instantly, he has a totally different outlook than any other producer we have worked with, he is really all about song writing and making sure all the songs are ready and that we have taken our time to put everything into them. slowandsteady77 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 18:46:05 +0000 http://www.showpopr.com/Deryck_Whibley_to_produce_The_Audition http://www.showpopr.com/Deryck_Whibley_to_produce_The_Audition The 56th Presidential Inauguration will feature plenty of change and hope, along with sure-to-be-classy performances from Aretha Franklin, Yo-Yo Ma, and clarinet player Anthony McGill. But for those looking to celebrate Barack Obama's takeover with some of the finest lefty indie-rockers out there, there's (even more) hope. slowandsteady77 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 18:42:16 +0000 http://www.showpopr.com/Ted_Leo_Andrew_Bird_Play_Obama_Inauguration_Bash http://www.showpopr.com/Ted_Leo_Andrew_Bird_Play_Obama_Inauguration_Bash Baltimore-based squeaky-voice manipulator Dan Deacon has revealed the cover for Bromst, his Spiderman of the Rings follow-up, and it is on some creepy Blair Witch-type shit. The album is finally due March 24 on Carpark, after a few delays. When Deacon talked to Pitchfork about the album last May, he described it as a "much darker" affair. ghostny Mon, 05 Jan 2009 18:40:15 +0000 http://www.showpopr.com/Dan_Deacon_Reveals_Tracklist_Spooky_Album_Cover http://www.showpopr.com/Dan_Deacon_Reveals_Tracklist_Spooky_Album_Cover Jimmy Tamborello has yet another footnote to add to his lifelong description as "that other dude in The Postal Service." Tamborello's full-time synth-pop project, Dntel dropped its Dumb Luck Remixes onto iTunes. As its name so pointedly implies, it collected jacked-around versions of songs that originally appeared on Dumb Luck (review) (Sub Pop). ghostny Mon, 05 Jan 2009 18:34:29 +0000 http://www.showpopr.com/Dntel_Digitally_Releases_Remix_Album http://www.showpopr.com/Dntel_Digitally_Releases_Remix_Album 1997, Death in the Park (ex-Hot Rod Circuit and Galaxy Down will be touring together in February 2009. gyaeger Wed, 31 Dec 2008 23:48:46 +0000 http://www.showpopr.com/Tours_1997__Death_In_The_Park__Galaxy_Down http://www.showpopr.com/Tours_1997__Death_In_The_Park__Galaxy_Down Marseilles, France's The Hatepinks have announced US tour dates up and down the west coast.

The couple are “so thrilled,” the source says, “Zooey was swept off her feet, and Ben is so excited.” To be honest, we didn’t even know Zooey and Ben were an item, and apparently neither did the rest of the media: The announcement came just hours after a false report saying Deschanel was engaged to AFI bassist Hunter Burgan, who immediately denied the reports. heavensent Tue, 30 Dec 2008 15:08:48 +0000 http://www.showpopr.com/Death_Cab_For_Cuties_Ben_Gibbard_She__Hims_Zooey_Deschanel_Engaged http://www.showpopr.com/Death_Cab_For_Cuties_Ben_Gibbard_She__Hims_Zooey_Deschanel_Engaged
