John on new Swahili Blonde song, Etoile De Mer
Swahili Blonde camp is apparently working on a new album titled Psycho Tropical Ballet Pink, which is set for release sometime in August this year. The first track, Etoile De Mer (that’s starfish in French) has just been posted onto their Bandcamp page and it has a very, very summer cocktail tropical beach vibe to it.

Etoile De Mer by Swahili Blonde *Many thanks to Travis for news – that’s why Invisible Movement had it first.

While this might be unimportant to the artists themselves, it sure is important for their listeners and it shows that the country on those islands over there has some good taste in alternative music! And what’s in there for you? Well, the album will be available in USA and…

Michael Rother on tour – no John, but he’s involved in future plans
In a lengthy video interview with German editing of Rolling Stone, Michael Rother is talking about his upcoming USA, Mexico and Europe Hallogallo 2010 tour, where his back-up band will consist of Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth fame on drums and Aaron Mullan of Tall Firs, presumably handling the guitar duties. But mr. Rother also reveals other musicians, like John and Josh Klinghoffer will be integrated in this project on occasion. There’s no word on what the occasion is, but knowing more about it and knowing that it is still an option, after a news or two on it last year, is great. You can find the tour dates on…
