Bravery press release offers stilted shout-out to CHoLita; tickets on sale for two Bowery shows

This is great:

The HQ is on the corner of Mott and Broome, on the edge of New York's Chinatown. Push through the graffiti-ed door, clamber up the rotten stairs, past the sweatshops and you'll find the place. It's where The Bravery have spent the past two years planning operations, obsessively working up their wirey garage-electronics and occasionally venturing out into the city to play the results.

So edgy! Read more [thanks MTV.com!]

Performing with Ash. Go get 'em while the scalping getting's good. Night 1. Night 2.

Note: Bloc Party is about 100x better -- their Bowery shows're sold out, but there are still tickets left to Motherfucker.

Please enjoy.

Lyrics. {Thanks WhiskeyClone.Net!}

Looking for my place on assembly lines
Fake prizes rising out of the bomb holes
Skeleton boys hyped up in purple
Smoke rings blow from across the disco
Make notes, burn like broken equipment
Looking for shelter via juxtaposition
Thought control, those written confessions
Two dimensions, dumb your head down
Duck, don't look now, company missiles
Power is raunchy when the cops are watching
Make your dreams out of paper mache
Cliched wasted hate taste-tested
Hell yes now I'm moving this way, I'm doing this thing
Hell yes now I'm turning it on, I'm working my legs
Hell yes now I'm calling you out, I'm switching my plates
Hell yes now I'm cleaning the floor, my beat is correct

Hi. Yea, that's it.
Yea, that's it.
Yea, that's it.
Hi.

Stretched to the limit, attention spared
Snap back the track, collapsin' the laugh tracks
Noise response, applause and handclaps
Floodgates open to the sound of the rainbow
Makin' points on the verge of pointless
Fools anointed to the follower's fanfare
Look for the common, not superficial
Code Red cola ?? crisis
Perfunctory idols rewriting their bibles
With magic markers running out of their ink
Lives and White Out, turn the lights out
Fax machine anthems, get your damned hands up
Hell yes now I'm moving this way, I'm doing this thing
Hell yes now I'm turning it on, I'm working my legs
Hell yes now I'm calling you out, I'm switching my plates
Hell yes now I'm cleaning the floor, my beat is correct

Yes.
Hi.
I like your bass.
Your beat is nice.
Yea, that's it.
Yes. Yes.

Hell yes now I'm moving this way, I'm doing this thing
Hell yes now I'm turning it on, I'm working my legs
Hell yes now I'm calling you out, I'm switching my plates
Hell yes now I'm cleaning the floor, my beat is correct

Hell yes.

That's me babe. Britney.

Loved this.

Happy Sunday, everyone.

Triumph of a Heart Video

I know, I'm late to this. Watch first, judge later.

Spike Jonze has still got it, whatever it is.

Bootleg Album of the Year

That's right, I'm calling it, right now. It's the fantastically underrated Team9's Manchester Booted EP. Get it while you still can. No one has done to mashups what Team9 has, and music will never be the fucking same.

I wish I was kidding. (Except not really)
