Vampire Weekend/Ra Ra Riot Supergroup's LP To Be Released July 7
VAMPIRE WEEKEND/RA RA RIOT SUPERGROUP'S LP GETS DATE
By Julia Askenase on May 22, 2009 12:17 PM
from Paste Magazine
What happens when members from two of the most buzzed-about bands of '08 join forces? Apparently, quaint chamber pop + afrobeat ditties = club jamz. That's what early tracks have led us to expect from Discovery, the side project of Vampire Weekend keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij and Ra Ra Riot singer Wes Miles. Their fun-loving debut album, LP, will hit streets July 7, just in time to rival some our favorite songs of summer.
Despite your potential first inclinations, this electro-dance outfit doesn't appear to be The Postal Service reincarnated. Rather, it's sounds more like these guys unabashedly donned their top-siders and sweaters in the club, rubbing shoulders with Jamie Foxx and T-Pain. Granted, song titles like "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" sound a bit more charming than verses from "Blame It." (Tangential side note: Have you seen the cameos in that music video? Forest Whitaker, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Ron Howard!?)
For a sampling of what's to come, listen to "Orange Shirt" and the delectable "Osaka Loop Line" on the band's MySpace. Also, check out LP's tracklist below, complete with guest appearances from VW singer Ezra Koenig and Dirty Projector Angel Deradoorian:
1. Orange Shirt
2. Osaka Loop Line
3. Can You Discover?
4. I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend (featuring Angel Deradoorian)
5. So Insane
6. Swing Tree
7. Carby (featuring Ezra Koenig)
8. I Want You Back
9. It's Not My Fault (It's My Fault)
10. Slang Tang

Jay Bennett Found Dead
Songwriter Jay Bennett, Dead At 45
May 26, 2009
Story by: Michael Tedder
from CMJ.com
Songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and former Wilco member Jay Bennett died in his sleep early Sunday morning. He was 45. Bennett is perhaps best known for his songwriting and lush, symphonic keyboard work on the Wilco albums Being There, Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. As shown in the documentary I Am Trying To Break Your Heart, Bennett left Wilco during the recording of Hotel over creative disagreements with Jeff Tweedy, the group's lead songwriter, and a few weeks before his death, Bennett sued the group for unpaid royalties from his film appearance and his album work.
Before joining Wilco, Bennett had played in the early '90s alternative pop group Titanic Love Affair, and since leaving the group, he has recorded several solo albums, including last year's Whatever Happened I Apologized, which was released as a free download. He had also done session work and production for artists such as Allison Moorer, Tim Easton, Tommy Keene, Jeff Black, Blues Traveler and Sheryl Crow.
At the time of his death, Bennett was living in Urbana, Illinois, and was set to have hip replacement surgery in the near future. His cause of death is currently unknown.
