Could it be the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.myspace.com/pixies">Pixies&#8217;</a> epic, <i>&#8220;Where Is My Mind?&#8221;</i>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.davidbowie.com/">David Bowie&#8217;s</a> enchanting <i>&#8220;Magic Dance,&#8221;</i> <a target="_blank" href="http://prince.org/">Prince&#8217;s</a> glamorous <i>&#8220;When Doves Cry,&#8221;</i> the ghoulish <a target="_blank" href="http://www.misfits.com/">Misfits&#8217;</a> <i>&#8220;Last Caress&#8221;</i>, or the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.myspace.com/thefugees">Fugees&#8217;</a> piercing <i>&#8220;Ready Or Not&#8221;</i>?</p>

<ul>
<li>Seminal rock group the <strong>Pixies</strong> have <a target="_blank" href="http://www.spin.com/articles/pixies-doolittle-us-tour-dates-announced">announced</a> their full schedule for their <em>Doolittle</em> tour. The band will be performing their classic album in its entirety with a few surprises along the way. The Seattle dates are November  11 and 12 at the Paramount Theater; be sure to check out our <a target="_blank" href="http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?organ_val=30247&#038;event_val=PIXIES&#038;schedule=list">presale</a>, which starts today at 10AM and runs to Friday at 10PM. Use the password &#8220;KEXP&#8221;.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Master MC and accomplished actor <strong>Mos Def</strong> has assembled a <a target="_blank" href="http://pitchfork.com/news/36054-mos-def-plots-summer-tour/">fall tour</a> behind his latest effort, <em>The Ecstatic</em>. A Seattle date is scheduled for August 28 with no word on the venue quite yet.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>You know you love yourself if you cover your own album. Twice. Indie-pop sibling duo <strong>The Fiery Furnaces</strong> plan to <a target="_blank" href="http://pitchfork.com/news/36048-the-fiery-furnaces-cover-the-fiery-furnaces/2/">re-record their album</a> <em>I&#8217;m Going Away</em>, with siblings Matt and Eleanor Friedberger each releasing their own versions of the album.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Unlike most bands, <strong>Weezer</strong> seem to get less mature with age, as evidenced by two new songs they debuted at a recent show in South Korea called &#8220;I&#8217;m Your Daddy&#8221; and &#8220;The Girl Got Hot.&#8221; Apparently they sound just like the titles. If you must, check &#8216;em out at <a target="_blank" href="http://stereogum.com/archives/video/new-weezer-im-your-daddy-the-girl-got-hot-live-in-south-korea_081461.html">Stereogum</a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Memphis maniac rocker <strong>Jay Reatard</strong> is <a target="_blank" href="http://www.thetripwire.com/news/2009/07/29/new-jay-reatard-documentary-west-coast-tour-in-store/">hitting the road</a> this August for a batch of free all-ages in-store performances. Can you say awesome? He&#8217;ll be in Seattle for two shows, August 26 at East Street Records and August 27 at Sonic Boom Records playing songs from his new album, <em>Watch Me Fall</em>, out that same month. You can also look forward to a Jay Reatard documentary. Check out the trailer <a target="_blank" href="http://www.prefixmag.com/news/trailer-for-jay-reatard-documentary-iwaiting-for-s/31269/">here</a>.</li>

<ul>
<li>Ex-<strong>Be Your Own Pet</strong> frontwoman <strong>Jemina Pearl</strong> has <a target="_blank" href="http://www.thetripwire.com/news/2009/07/28/jemima-pearl-drops-debut-solo-album-tours/">set tour dates</a> and a release date for her upcoming solo album, <em>Break It Up</em>, on Ecstatic Peace. She&#8217;ll be at Chop Suey on October 19. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Don&#8217;t worry: <strong>The Mountain Goats</strong> won&#8217;t be touring the Christian rock circuit any time soon (not that there&#8217;s anything wrong with that!). But you might get that impression when <a target="_blank" href="http://4ad.com/news/announce-new-alb-0/">first reading</a> about the new album, <em>The Life Of The World To Come</em> (due on 4AD on October 6), which features a dozen songs named after Bible passages, like &#8220;Genesis 3:23.&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s not a screed,&#8221; claims songwriter John Darnielle, who assures us he hasn&#8217;t &#8220;had some sort of religious awakening.&#8221; He says rather vaguely that &#8220;It&#8217;s twelve songs the Bible taught me, kind of.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><dir><dir>The Mountain Goats - Genesis 3:23 (<a target="_blank" href="http://static.4ad.com/audio/themountaingoats/genesis_3_23.mp3">MP3</a>)</dir></dir></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>If you&#8217;ve never watched the kids show <em>Yo Gabba Gabba</em>, you&#8217;re missing out. The show has already featured tons of rad performances from bands like Tilly And The Wall, The Ting Tings, MGMT, and Chromeo, and now <strong>Super Furry Animals</strong> are getting in on the action. The Welsh band are hard at work <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nme.com/news/super-furry-animals/46346">writing a song</a> for the show but there&#8217;s no word yet if they&#8217;ll appear in person.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Someone had to say it, but who thought it would be <strong>David Byrne</strong>? They typically polite veteran of rock not so subtly <a target="_blank" href="http://journal.davidbyrne.com/2009/07/071409-budapest.html">pointed out on his blog</a> that <strong>U2</strong>&#8217;s spending &#8220;$40 million to build the stage&#8221; and their estimated &#8220;200 semi trucks crisscrossing Europe&#8221; for their upcoming world tour is a bit &#8220;overkill, and just a wee bit out of balance given all the starving people in Africa and all.&#8221; Byrne, who admits to being a little bit peeved for getting bumped from Letterman during the week-long U2 residency, is at least thankful that Live Nation, who&#8217;s promoting both his and U2&#8217;s tours is allowing him to play clubs who might not otherwise be able to afford it.</li>
