M.I.A. Album Release Date (Via Blimp?!) and Tour Announcements + New Video + New Album Tracklist
M.I.A. used an unconventional method over the weekend to announce her forthcoming third album. During Jay-Z’s Coachella set, she had a BLIMP fly over the crowd advertising a cryptic message of “New Album 6.29.10″. This is welcome news for all of us M.I.A. fans, especially those lucky individuals who will get the opportunity to see her live this summer performing the new material.
She currently has two live dates on her schedule, both appearances at HARD Fest that will take place in July, one in New York and the other in L.A. I speculate (and granted this is speculation) that she will not be done there. With a new album on the horizon and a couple of in-demand dates on the books, I imagine that she will be showcasing her verbal skills at least a few more times this year for eager crowds to enjoy. Also, if you remember, she did cut her last tour short for various personal reasons and to continue work on this forthcoming album.
The new record will see the aforementioned June 29 release in the US, but will be released one week earlier in Japan via Sony Japan. Artists such as Switch, Rye Rye, Blaqstarr, Diplo and Sleighbells are all speculated as contributors to the new album. This should make for an intriguing comeback for M.I.A. who has largely been out of the public eye following her Grammy performance back in 2009. I know that I am eager for her return in 2010!
Cheers.

Neil Young Embarks on 13 City North American Tour with Three Dates in Texas
Legendary musician Neil Young is set to embark on a 13 date tour dubbed the “Twisted Road” tour that will span much of the east coast before finishing up with three shows in Texas. In lieu of playing stadiums or more traditional concert venues, the shows for this solo tour will be held in some of the nation’s top performing arts venues. Young’s most recent live performances leading up to this tour have come on the final episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien and the 2010 Closing Ceremonies of the Olympic games.
This special solo, acoustic tour will give fans the opportunity to see Young in an intimate setting and, according to a press release about the tour, will afford them the opportunity to hear not-yet-released tracks from the legendary musician. British folk legend Bert Jansch will be opening all dates on the tour. Young’s trio of shows in Texas is a special treat for fans when you consider the fact that it has been seven years since he played in the state. His last Texas show was with Crazy Horse at Willy’s Picnic in 2003. During this run of dates, he will play Jones Hall in Houston, Bass Performance Hall in Austin, and Meyerson Syphony Center in Dallas, the tour’s final date. See below for a complete list of the dates for the tour.
Neil Young’s long, meandering career is a marvel to behold. The legendary musician has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on two separate occasions, once for his body of work as a solo artist and once as a member of Buffalo Springfield. His contributions as a solo artist and as a member of bands such as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young; Buffalo Springfield; and Crazy Horse have produced some of the most well known and beloved folk songs in history, and his music has influenced those far outside of the folk genre including Nirvana and Pearl Jam amongst others. If you have to opportunity to be a part of this special event, take advantage of it. This doesn’t come along every day. Tickets for Neil Young’ s Houston date at Jones Hall will be available here on April 17 at 10am from Front Gate Tickets.

Dance rockers LCD Soundsystem have announced a string of North American tour dates that will take them from their hometown of New York to Manchester, Tennessee for a performance at the Bonnaroo Music Festival. In March, James Murphy announced via the LCD Soundsystem website that the band was releasing their highly anticipated new album in May.

The band is also doing a series of videos (see below) that offer a bit of insight into the recording process of the new record. Looks fun to me!

Conan O’Brien Announces National Comedy Tour
In case you had your head under a rock or slept in and missed the announcement from Conan this morning, Conan O’Brien will head out on a 30 city comedy and music tour starting April 12 in Eugene Oregon. In case you are still bitter about the whole Jay Leno, Conan debacle of earlier this year, this is probably an awesome opportunity to get your fix.
O’Brien is not being too forthcoming with details about the tour, but the site he set up for the tour promises “A night of music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence.” Sounds good to me! We have tickets on sale now for Conan’s Austin date and tickets are going fast, so grab them here before they are gone! The full tour schedule can be found here.
Cheers.
