Special after school special:

The lovely Emiliana Torrini will be performing tomorrow, Tuesday, November 18, on World Cafe. Listen from 2PM EST on http://xpn.org/listen-live/listen-live or 88.5FM in the Philadelphia area.

Here’s what you can expect, per World Cafe:

Icelandic singer-songwriter Emiliana Torrini joins David for music and conversation drawn from her new album Me And Armini. In this interview, she recalls her musical beginnings growing up in Iceland with minimal exposure to pop music. This fresh perspective allowed her to create her own style with an improvisational songwriting approach.

The El Guincho North American tour is almost here!

In support of the debut release, Alegranza, El Guincho will be kicking things off with a show at The Echo in LA (11/20), winding up at (Le) Poisson Rouge in NYC on 12/02 and making his way across the States and Canada in between.

Those in Chicago and NYC will also have a chance to check out El Guincho DJ sets at the Museum of Contemporary Art on 11/25 and again (Le) Poisson Rouge on 11/29 (w/ Prefuse 73).

Don’t miss it!

It’s been a long week here at the office, although interestingly enough, the work days have been shorter (ahem - I don’t wanna tattle, but cable doesn’t take two days to install, Gabe…).

And all of this because our fearless leader has spent the entire week interrogating our British co-workers, boating on the Thames with Damon Albarn and posting about how shitty Glasvegas is on the Drowned In Sound message board.

If this photo is any evidence, Matt Harmon might even have his eyes set on Parliament.  If anyone from Alma Road has any personally missives, please email me for immediate posting.

Caius is still feeling the power of the people this week.

And a special A&R preview showcase vid.

He’s a sentimental one and here’s his OMUCT edition:
