As you know by now, The Pink Logs love to go to shows and this weekend was no different. The Logs attended the We The People Festival in Los Angeles and had a great time. Performances included Les Claypool, RZA, Tom Morello, Suicidal Tendencies, Z-Trip, EPMD, DJ Premier, Murs and more. Shown here are some pictures that we were lucky enough to take before security took our cameras.

The Temper Trap - "Sweet Disposition" (Liberation)

Following their successful self-titled EP released two short years ago Melbourne, Australia quartet The Temper Trap garnered rotation airplay on Triple J (the national Alternative radio station) with the single "My Sun" and drew favorable comparisons to such bands as Radiohead and TV on the Radio. Their intense, energetic live shows only added to the buzz, earning them support slots with such international artists as Modest Mouse, Kasabian, Cold War Kids and The Dears, complemented by placement on many festival stages, including the V Festival, the Great Escape and the Laneway Festival. Four months ago the foursome hooked up with producer Jim Abbiss (Massive Attack, Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian) at Melbourne's famed Sing Sing Studios to commence work on their debut album. The resulting effort, which will be released in early 2009 through indie Liberation Records, showcases an evolution in The Temper Trap's sound, including songs embellished with waves of keys, strings and choirs.

The Streets, born Mike Skinner in Birmingham, England has been on the musical scene since the beginning of the 21^st Century. Although he started making music at the age of 5, his first taste of success was with The Artful Dodger and Craig David on a song called "Has It Come To This" which was released in late 2000. After creating a huge indie buzz in many countries, releasing three full-length albums and one EP, The Streets has returned with "Everything Is Borrowed" which was recently released on 679 Recordings/Vice Records on September 15^th featuring the single of the same name. Beats per millennium reviewed the album and said "this is the best album he's ever written, and if you don't mind a little (a lot) of introspection, it's well worth your hard-earned money," and NME has boasted "it's more polished, more intricate, but without losing any of that bedroom-made charm. Skinner has consolidated everything he's done before, chucked in where his head's at now and come up with an album that, while lacking the visceral thrill of Original Pirate Material, is a minor masterpiece that will mean a lot to a more select bunch of people. It is, if you will, the Thinking Man's Streets Album."

WHERE THE STREETS HAVE A NAME: That would be the Mediaguide Alternative Specialty Panel, where the latest project from Brummy boy Mike Skinner, a.k.a. The Streets, has been whole-heartedly embraced, with both the album Everything is Borrowed (679/Vice) and its title track bowing in the top spots of their respective charts. Skinner will be supporting the album, which hit retail September 15, with a six-week series of gigs in his native UK starting October 4, followed by a three-week jaunt across the European continent. For further info, check out www.myspace.com/thestreets. The panel was also apparently shaken and stirred by "Another Way to Die" (Third Man/J), the theme to the forthcoming James Bond movie Quantum of Solace, written by Jack White and performed by him and Alicia Keys. The first theme duet in the history of the storied Bond franchise, the song debuts at No.2 on the Song chart and picks up enough spins to also clock in at No.4 on the Album end. Last week's No.1 song, Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire," slips a bit to No.3, just ahead of this week's third debut in the top four songs: Eagles of Death Metal with "Wannabe in L.A." (Rekords Rekords/Downtown), which also picks up enough plays to qualify at No.9 on the Album index. It's the first taste of their forthcoming album Heart On, which will be available October 28. The only other Top 10 debut on the Song side this week belongs to The Killers with "Human," which debuts at No.10 and just became available on iTunes today (September 30). The song is the initial offering from the Las Vegas lads' upcoming album Day & Age (Island), which arrives just in time for the holiday season on November 25.
