Why wait for those “distant” dance parties, as prophesied by 65daysofstatic’s EP due out this week, when you could have a dance party of your own? Just check out this week’s new releases: The Roots, Santogold, Jamie Lidell, Portishead, The Constantines, Heloise & The Savoir Faire, Dizzee Rascal (finally in the U.S.!), Wallpaper (not the NW band), and Madonna, should all get your booty shakin’ in your own living room, cubicle, or where ever you might be. Once you’ve chilled, be sure to check out the long-awaited full-length from Langhorne Slim, who will be coming through Seattle with his War Eagles and stopping by KEXP on May 19 (he’s currently working his way through the South, for all of you East Coasters).
