Lenny Kravitz is gearing up for the release of his latest album by teaming with MySpace for the Get on the Bus with the Love Revolution Tour contest.


Ten winners and their guests will travel with Kravitz in a custom tour bus designed by the singer as he crosses the U.S. in support of his new disc, It Is Time For A Love Revolution.

The contest begins November 20 and is open to anyone who is (or becomes) one of Kravitz's MySpace friends.

Entrants must submit a photo along with a statement explaining why they should be chosen to be a part of this tour. Winners will be chosen by Kravitz and a panel made up of members of the Capitol Music Group and will be notified in early December.


Kravitz's Love Revolution Tour kicks off January 17 and runs through February 1, hitting cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia and New York.

Confirmed dates will be announced shortly.

The singer also plans to launch a two-year, worldwide tour after Revolution is released in February.

Online label offers free MP3s

Downtown Records, Rojas team on venture

By PHIL GALLO

A relatively young label that had one of the biggest hits of 2006 has entered the blogosphere to make music available for free.

Downtown Records, which has Gnarls Barkley and Cold War Kids on its roster, and Engadget co-founder Peter Rojas have launched RCRD LBL, an online music label offering free, sponsor-supported MP3s.

Site launched Thursday and featured music from several indie acts, including Justice and Bad Veins, both of which generated considerable buzz at last month’s CMJ Music Marathon in New York.

Puma, the Virgin America airline and Nikon have signed on as sponsors.

Website will feature free exclusive tracks from new and marquee acts, many of which have been recorded specifically for RCRD LBL. The first exclusive is a remix of Justice’s “D.A.N.C.E.” produced by Benny Blanco and featuring verses from Spank Rock and Mos Def. Other artists

expected to supply music are Eagles of Death Metal , Spank Rock,

Tokyo Police Club and Sam Champion

http://www.dimmak.com/kidmillionaire/

http://www.modularpeople.com/03/08.asp

http://www.myspace.com/disrecords

In addition to songs in the RCRD LBL catalog, the site will allow users to download exclusive, promotional and catalog tracks from the company’s extended family of labels, which include Dim Mak Records,

Downtown Records, Warp Records, Ghostly Intl., Modular Records and Drowned in Sound.

Every element of RCRD LBL, from streaming radio and photos to videos and tour dates, is offered as a branded widget, providing sponsors with a way to integrate themselves into the experience of the site itself.

RCRD LBL also is creating a custom-programmed audio channel for

Virgin America flights.

Downtown Records co-founder and chief exec Josh Deutsch will be RCRD LBL chairman; Rojas will serve as CEO. Music blogger, editor and marketer Elliot Aronow is creative director and A&R rep, and Downtown Records A&R exec Michael Howe will handle A&R responsibilities for RCRD LBL as well.

Soulja Boy's "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" holds at No. 4, while Colbie Caillat's "Bubbly" jumps 6-5.

With an enormous 64-6 increase, newcomer Flo Rida makes a major impression with "Low." The track sold 131,000 digital downloads; it will appear on the artist's Poe Boy/Atlantic debut, due in the first quarter of 2008.

LABEL:COLUMBIA UK

Signed to 1965 Records and counting Squeeze and The Blockheads amongst their influences, this south east London five-piece produce a somewhat chaotic fusion of punk, funk, ska, pop and witty lyrics about bunking trains, the degradation of the Welfare State, nights out for a tenner and old Cockney lags with sawn-off shooters.

These Peckham lads seem all set to be the latest in a line of knavish but gifted London-based ne’er-do-wells that stretches all the way back to The Small Faces, via Madness, Squeeze, Flowered Up and The Libertines... They are just about to head out on a University tour with Milburn and their debut single will be out in February.

NEWSSOURCEDOTCOM:KAISER CHIEFS

Chieftonians,

Hello, we've a few things to tell you, so we thought we'd write.

First up, we've an exclusive show next Sunday (18th November) at BBC Radio Theatre, Broadcasting House, Portland Place, London. It's a gig for Radio 2 and will be in front of an invited audience of just 300...we have 50 pairs of tickets to giveaway for this, so check back to www.kaiserchiefs.co.uk in the next few days for your chance to win tickets.

Secondly, the ltd edition 7" of "Love's Not A Competition (but I'm winning)" is out on Monday 12th Nov, exclusively via our website. You can pre-order it, or buy it next week direct from this link

This is the only place you'll be able to get this 7" other than a very limited amount we'll be selling from the merchandise stand at each of the UK shows on a first come first served basis each night, we're only planning to retail around 50 copies per night, so come down early.

It's also the only place you'll get your hands on The Little Ones cover version of "Everything Is Average Nowadays" which we reckon is ace. One other thing on this 'ere single, there was talk of the 7" being gatefold, we're sorry we've misinformed you on that one...it looks very nice indeed, but it isn't gatefold, so don't ask where the other half is when you get yours in the post next week.

We're currently on the final leg of our European shows before the UK shows start on 21st, they've been great. Berlin...you were the best, but thanks to all of you that have bought tickets and made these gigs so enjoyable. We've been rehearsing some new songs that we hope to be playing you before long, maybe at some point on shows in the next month.

Most of our gigs in the rest of '07 are now Sold Out, but you can still buy tickets to these few. Including tonight's show in Oslo and tomorrow's in Stockholm, if there's any Norwegians or Swedes reading this?

November
09 OSLO, Sentrum Scene NORWAY (plus guests Silversun Pickups & Figurines)
10 STOCKHOLM, Arenen SWEDEN (plus guests Silversun Pickups & Figurines)
12 BREMEN, Pier 2 GERMANY (plus guests Silversun Pickups & Jakobinarina)
15 AMSTERDAM, Heineken Music Hall HOLLAND (plus guests Silversun Pickups & Jakobinarina) (2nd night only, 1st night on 14th SOLD OUT)
16 ANTWERP, Sportpaleis Arena BELGIUM (plus guests Silversun Pickups & Jakobinarina)
27 BIRMINGHAM NIA ENGLAND (plus guests The Pigeon Detectives & Jakobinarina) (2nd night only, 1st night on 26th SOLD OUT)

December
06 GLASGOW SECC SCOTLAND (plus guests We Are Scientists & The Little Ones)
07 LIVERPOOL Aintree Pavilion ENGLAND (plus guests The Mystery Jets & The Little Ones)

There's some new merchandise available online for the first time here. A teaser for the full range that will be on sale on the UK shows later in the month.

Until then... cheers for all your support, if you're Dutch special thanks as you've helped "Yours Truly, Angry Mob" go Gold there this week, and if you're British cheers to you lot too, the album went Double Platinum there this week. Hooray.

See you all at a gig soon
Kaiser Chiefs

RICHARD YOUNGS' "Autumn Response" is here!

It's Fall.

We know this because the leaves in Indiana are turning many shades of awesome, and because there's a new Richard Youngs album in the hopper, readymade to soundtrack your late mulled cider nights.

The album is called "Autumn Response", and it is a spartan folk-"pop" record filled with tinder-box intimacies. It is a singer-songwriter album, as Youngs' fingers slip over the steel strings with little feet and whispery toes, his gently prophetic songs evoke Roger Waters and the folk phase play is sure to appeal to fans of Animal Collective's Sung Tongs.

Cozy up to Richard here: http://www.scdistribution.com/cat/jag_catalognew.php

Jagjaguwar and BON IVER shack up!

We are seriously thrilled to announce the addition of Bon Iver to the Jagjaguwar family. In early 2008 Jagjaguwar will properly release the debut full-length "For Emma, Forever Ago" that has been making major waves in critics circles based on the strength of an early artist-pressed advance cd and a couple awe-inspiring sets at CMJ a few weeks back.

The New York Times called it "irresistible" and Pitchfork stamped its early review of the album with a Recommended tag. For those of you hiding away in a cabin of your own, it's time that you hear the story, and more importantly, the music.

Free MP3 of "Skinny Love" from "For Emma, Forever ago": http://www.scjag.com/mp3/jag/skinnylove.mp3 Stream the entire album at: http://virb.com/boniver

"The album is a ruminative collection of songs full of natural imagery and acoustic strums -- the sound of a man left alone with his memories and a guitar... Rarely does folk -- indie or otherwise -- give so much over to ambience..." -- RECOMMENDED by Pitchfork (10.04.07)

You can catch Bon Iver live this fall as he joins Elvis Perkins on a short jaunt through the Northeast United States and Canada:

THE BESNARD LAKES tour with PETER BJORN AND JOHN

In support of their critically acclaimed avant-pop masterpiece "The Besnard Lakes Are the Dark Horse", THE BESNARD LAKES will be spending late 2007 on tour with Sweden's PETER BJORN AND JOHN. It has been a magical year for The Besnard Lakes. They have toured both North America and Europe twice over, playing the most intimate rooms as well as on large festival stages where they've opened up for the likes of Smashing Pumpkins.

They have been nominated for prestigious prizes, such as for the POLARIS PRIZE, recognizing the best Canadian album of the year, and the ECHO SONGWRITING PRIZE for their song "Devastation". And their album has been an underground success story, being deemed by Pitchfork as one of the excellent overlooked records this year and having garnered great praise from prominent print media outlets such as Mojo (4 star review; see below.) Likely to make it on many year-end "best of 2007" lists, the Besnard Lakes make one last splash with a few weeks on the road with PETER BJORN AND JOHN.

Also recently available from the Besnard Lakes is the "Casino Nanaimo" 12-inch and a re-introduction of their debut album "Volume I":

Tour dates:

11/23/2007 Houston, TX - Warehouse
11/24/2007 Dallas, TX - Palladium

http://youtube.com/watch?v=IVRWRXkh6wA - "Up On Your Leopard, Upon the End of Your Feral Days", live in Los Angeles

The band is tentatively planning to embark upon either a North American or European tour next spring, so you might have another chance to experience their live show.
