			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Beach House release another stunner with their new album <em>Bloom</em></strong><br />
<img src="http://www.bumpershine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/beachhouse_bloom.jpg" alt="Beach House - Bloom" title="Beach House - Bloom" width="510" height="255" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-38924" /><br />
<strong>Words</strong>: <a href="http://drakelelane.blogspot.com">Drake Lelane</a></p>
<p>Maybe it&#8217;s the effects of a full week of sunny weather, but it&#8217;s been hard not to feel optimistic about new music, even when there&#8217;s only a couple albums with May release dates that I&#8217;m wearing out in the headphones. One of those releases has been <strong>Beach House</strong>&#8216;s latest, <em>Bloom</em>, which expands <em>only slightly</em> on their breakthrough 2010 release, <em>Teenage Dream</em>.</p>
<p>Longtime Drake fave <a href="http://drakelelane.blogspot.com/2012/05/music-on-tv-week-of-051412-tenacious-d.html">Tenacious D stage a comeback, and decide to include some new fans (my kids, for one) with a thoughtfully done clean version</a>. </p>
<p>Elsewhere, look to new releases from <strong>Best Coast, Cornershop, Plushgun, Josephine Foster, MV &#038; EE, Bang On!, Willie Nelson, The Cribs</strong>, the comedic stylings of <strong>Reggie Watts</strong> and an Occupy compilation featuring veteran artists like <strong>Patti Smith</strong>. In reissues, check out the first digital offerings from the back catalog of Seattle&#8217;s proto-grunge group <strong>Skin Yard</strong> (started by legendary producer Jack Endino and bassist/CZ records&#8217; Daniel House in 1985). </p>
<p>Playlist: <strong>New Releases 05.15.12: <a href="http://open.spotify.com/user/drakelelane/playlist/1GHKiFMptvgPIc6b57FIPN" target="_blank">Spotify</a></strong></p>

While the release is merely a lateral move from the 2010&#8242;s breakout <em>Teenage Dream</em>, is there really any need to venture out from the oasis they&#8217;ve carved out in the land of dream pop? The band is staying put, venturing only to switch out some light bulbs (can these rooms seem even softer?) paint the trim, polish the silver and maybe set out some hallucinogenic potpourri. I thought, for a moment at least, that fellow Baltimore dream pop agents Lower Dens (<a href="http://drakelelane.blogspot.com/2012/05/now-downloading-new-releases-050112.html">with their release <em>Nootropics</em></a>)had possibly made another Beach House release unnecessary this year. <em>Bloom</em>, however, proves itself to be very necessary.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>J. Tillman</strong> at Union Hall with Fleet Foxes (07/11/08)<br />

<strong>Photo</strong>: D. Caplan</p>
<p><strong>J. (Joshua) Tillman</strong>, who is probably best known for his stint as the drummer of <strong>Fleet Foxes</strong>, has a new band/solo project called <a href="http://www.subpop.com/artists/father_john_misty">Father John Misty</a>. FJM&#8217;s debut album, <em><a href="http://amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B007IPAOJW/bumpershine-20">Fear Fun</a></em>, came out on <strong>May 1</strong> via Sub Pop and here&#8217;s what <strong>Drake</strong> had to say about it at the time:</p>
<blockquote><p>The album starts with the other worldly Fleet Foxes sound, but gradually moves further and further away, incorporating the sarcastic wit of Harry Nilsson, along with much of the musical variance he liked to employ in his recordings. For fans of Tillman, the stylistic changes can come as a shock, and coupled with his new found lyrical boldness, at times it’s about as far from J. Tillman as you could go. “Oh pour me another drink. And punch me in the face. You can call me Nancy,” opens the excellent “Nancy From Now On,” while “I’m Writing a Novel” starts with “I ran down the road, pants down to my knees, screaming please come help me that Canadian shaman gave a little too much for me.” It’s an awful lot of fun, the kind you have with enough mushrooms to choke a horse. The hallucinogens are optional, but ignoring this release is not. [<a href="http://www.bumpershine.com/2012/05/06/drakes-take-new-releases-05-01-12.html">Drake Lelane</a>]</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Father John Misty</strong> played a sold out show at the Mercury Lounge last night (May 18), but he&#8217;s playing again tonight (<strong>May 19</strong>) at the Knitting Factory Brooklyn with <strong>Har Mar Superstar</strong> and <strong>Jenny O</strong>. (Tickets may still be available at the door.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Great Googa Mooga</strong> (May 18-20)<br />
<img src="http://www.bumpershine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/googa_logo.jpg" alt="Googa Mooga"/></p>
<p>Hey folks, as you might recall, the inaugural <a href="http://www.bumpershine.com/tag/googa-mooga">Great GoogaMooga</a> will take place this weekend in Prospect Park (<strong>May 19-20</strong>) and in case you were wondering how to make the most of your festival going experience, the promoters have sent around a list of &#8220;things to know&#8221; before you go. </p>
<blockquote><p><strong>WHAT TO BRING</strong> </p>
<p>**Most importantly, <strong>BRING CASH</strong>. Our vendors do not accept credit cards. You&#8217;ll find ATMs throughout the GoogaMooga grounds, but waiting for people to poke machines might be the worst use of your time at the fest. </p>
<p>Feel free to <strong>bring plastic water bottles, picnic blankets</strong> and <strong>soft backpacks</strong>. Please do not bring glass containers, coolers, picnic baskets and boomboxes. See our website for a full list of allowed and forbidden items. And leave your sporks and spifes at home. We&#8217;ll provide all the utensils you will (and won&#8217;t) need.</p></blockquote>
<p>Read the rest of the Great GoogaMooga FAQ after the jump.</p>
<p><span id="more-38897"></span></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE APP</strong> </p>
<p>Get details about your favorite dish. Find your way around the fest. Know what band is playing, and what presentation is going on next. And do it all with the swipe of a finger on your smartphone. We really believe our app will enhance your GoogaMooga experience. At the very least, it&#8217;ll give you something to do while digesting. <a href=http://www.googamooga.com/apps/">Click</a> to download the GoogaMooga app for free.</p>
<p><strong>HOW TO GET HERE</strong> </p>
<p>GoogaMooga is located at Nethermead Meadow, right in the heart of Brooklyn&#8217;s beautiful Prospect Park (see this map for details). You can get here in a hundred different ways, and we recommend all except one: driving your own car. Why? Because the prospect of parking around Prospect Park is slim. A few (much) better options: bus, subway, taxi, bicycles &#038; feet, all of which can easily get you here from anywhere in the five boroughs. Find more detailed directions at our website.</p>
<p><strong>WHERE TO ENTER</strong> </p>
<p>There are two entrances for General admission attendees: Center Drive Entrance and Breeze Hill Entrance. These entrances are easily accessed by entering the park at the following points: 16th St and Prospect Park South West (F, G Train to 15th St stop), 9th St and Prospect Park West (F, G Train to 7th Ave stop). From 9th St and Prospect Park West continue across West Drive through Long Meadow to the Center Drive Entrance. From 16th St. and Prospect Park Southwest continue across West Drive to Center Drive to the Breeze Hill entrance. </p>
<p>Extra Mooga ticket holders can enter at the Extra Mooga Entrance located at Lincoln Road Crossing at Lincoln Road and East Drive accessed at the Lincoln and Ocean Avenue entrance to the park (closest to Q, B, S Train to Prospect Park stop) in addition to both GA entrances. Still confused? Just get to the park, and the fest will find you. We promise.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a little more about David Rees&#8217; artisinal pencil sharpening service:</p>
<blockquote><p>In July 2010, Rees announced his Artisanal Pencil Sharpening service, where for $12.50 plus $2.50 S&#038;H, people can mail in their own pencils to be sharpened, or receive a sharpened pencil provided by the craftsman. According to the site, &#8220;&#8230;craftsman David Rees still practices the age-old art of manual pencil sharpening. His artisanal service is perfect for artists, writers, and standardized test takers. Shipped with their shavings and a &#8216;certificate of sharpening&#8217;, these extra-sharp pencils make wonderful gifts.&#8221;. His book, <em>How to Sharpen Pencils</em>, was released April 16, 2012. [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Rees_(cartoonist)">wikipedia</a>]</p></blockquote>
