Album reissue "When You Land Here, It's Time to Return"
Before The Shins, was Flake Music (originally just Flake). James Mercer, founder and frontman of The Shins and co-founder of Broken Bells, formed Flake in 1992 with drummer Jesse Sandoval, bassist Neal Lang and keyboardist Marty Crandall. The band toured with Modest Mouse and Califone and released their only full-length album “When You Land Here, It’s Time to Return” shortly before dismantling in 1999. The album was largely overshadowed by the flash-success of Mercer and Sandoval’s side-project The Shins, which each of Flake Music’s members played in for some amount of time. Newly remastered and remixed, “When You Land Here” is out via reissue to the satisfaction of many indie-rock connoisseurs.
“When You Land Here, It’s Time to Return” is out November 24th on Aural Apothecary via Sub Pop.

Having transplanted to the West Coast, the (former) New York indie band, TV on the Radio is back with a fifth album, “Seeds” . The followup to 2011’s “Nine Types of Light” marks the first LP release since the passing of former bassist, Gerard Smith, in 2011. “Seeds” is characterized as a celebration by the band. Filled with upbeat sounds and optimistic lyrics, the album is a beautiful break from the band’s usual experimental approach to music, that is just as great.
“Seeds” is set to release November 18th via Harvest Records

EP “Girlpool”
Girlpool, Los Angeles based duo (Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker), release their 1st selt-titled EP. From slow and melodic “Plants and Worms” to murderous shrieks in “Jane”, this is a truly magnetic collection of songs … and “Bla Bla Bla” is by far the best anti-whatever anthem song of 2014.
The EP is set to release November 18th via Wichita Recordings

Film by Bennett Miller
“Foxcatcher” is the true story of eccentric heir John du Pont (Steve Carell) and Olympic-gold winning wrestler, Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum). Du Pont invites Mark to train for the 1998 Seoul Olympics at his palatial estate, Foxcatcher Farm, where Mark and his elder brother (Mark Ruffalo) enter into a co-dependent and psychologically warped game of wills with the millionaire mentor.
Bennett Miller came away with “Best Director” at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival for “Foxcatcher.” Oscar-nominated for his previous biographical films “Moneyball” (2011) and “Capote” (2005), Miller has already proven his finesse for mixing fact and fiction on-screen, and this film shouldn’t deviate.
You can see “Foxcatcher” in select US theaters November 14.
