Poor Falcon Heene. You gotta feel for the kid who made news headlines on Thursday and Friday, even vomiting on live television, simply for not being in a balloon. But rather than dwell on the fact that his life has probably been irrevocably changed by a silly event it’s pretty clear his almost-certainly-skeezy parents cooked up to rekindle the special kind of fame one gets from appearing on Wife Swap, let’s try to look at this from a positive point of view. For instance, did you ever notice how much balloon-themed art there is in the world? It’s crazy! Here... read more

Midlake released another set of digital rarities entitled Oak and Julian just this past September. The quintet is also holed up in their studio working on a third full-length album.... read more

Found in: Music, NewsMidlake tour closes out the summer
Somehow, the final days of summer 2007 are just around the corner. Depending on who, where and how old you are, maybe it’s depressing and maybe it isn’t - likelier the former if you didn’t swim but once and failed to make it out to any decent shows (besides your buddy’s open mic gig at in some wretchedly hot bar basement). Ah, refreshing! The folks in Midlake will make the fall transition easier during a short headlining tour this September, continuing to promote their second album, The Trials of Van Occupanther, released over one year ago on Bella Union Records.... read more
