I am a fan of his blog IndieHQ and this interview provides some insight into the running of his label, Suburban Home Records as well while sharing his passion for vinyl. Good quick read. He has a cute kid too!

Be Bad Wavelength Interview

Be Bad - Vision Correction

Be Bad’s new full-length is now official. Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered. I sent all the packages on Monday. Canadians should have them already. Everyone else: your shit will be there soon.

If you don’t have a copy yet, check our site to order. You can also sample every track and download the album at Zunior. Record stores and distros can contact me or deal directly with Scratch Records .

Oh, and most college radio stations have a copy. Make a request!

If you have the chance to see him and his Pinecones out west I strongly encouraged you to do so. Put On Your Drinking Cap had some nice things to say about Brent [and mentions Laura Peek and BA Johnston].

That is all
Well and that is a nice poster.

Norwood Cheek, director of over 70 music videos (by bands like Super Chunk, the Donnas, Squirrel Nut Zippers and Ben Folds Five), is teaming up with the www.atlanticfilm.com to pair 10 East Coast filmmakers with 10 East Coast artists to produce, over a four-day boot camp, the ultimate music video to be screened as part of the Inspired Music Showcases during the Atlantic Film Festival. Here is the call:

Applicants Sought for Music Video Project with New Inspired Music 10 X 10 Project

The 27th Atlantic Film Festival’s Inspired Music Program announces that the Call for Applications for the new 10 X 10 Project is now open.

The project will pair 10 East Coast filmmakers with 10 East Coast artists/bands to produce, over a four-day period, the ultimate music video. All finished videos will then be screened as part of the Inspired Music Showcases during the Festival.

The project is open to any Atlantic-Canadian filmmaker and to Atlantic-Canadian artist/band. Artists/bands must have released at least one professionally manufactured CD.

The deadline for application is Monday, July 30th, 2007 and there will be an entry fee of $25.

The 27th Atlantic Film Festival takes place September 13-22, 2007, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Here is a direct link to the PDF application. I should also disclose that while I do some freelance work with the festival, I have nothing to do with this program…I just want to give it a plug!

This really isn’t much of a review but come on. It’s a Spoon album. You know what you’re getting and you know you’ll love it so why ask why.
