  | Sonic reductions of Shining, Dew Scented and George Strait Alibi alum Michael Henningsen and Mark Lopez, our beloved copy editor and staff writer, listened to new releases from Shining, Dew Scented and George Strait. Read their micro reviews in this week’s Sonic Reducer. Peep related A/V below.
 Shining - “I Won’t Forget” Dew Scented - “Confronting Entropy” George Strait - “Give It All We Got Tonight” Add a Comment Cat Power calls U.S. outSinger/songwriter says she’s leaving America on Instagram rant Cat Power by Camille Garmendia Leave it to your trusty copy editor to place blame on the blameless. Cat Power, aka Chan Marshall, released a statement/rant on her Instagram page (with the Statue of Liberty as the backdrop), criticizing the state of America and claiming she’s leaving the country until things change. In the public statement, she claims the illusion of liberty has become a symbolism of entrapment, fostering hope in Americans in an effort to make them prisoners of false ideas. In the all-caps statement—chill out gurl; you don’t gotta yell—she claims that the powers that be have used said symbolism “AS FALSE CURRENCY TO RAPE THIS EARTH WITH IT’S[sic] LIES, PROTECTION OF WEALTH, AND VICIOUS SLAYINGS & INHUMANE PRIVATE CONTRACTED MILITARIES WORLDWIDE FOR DOMINATION ...” She goes on to demand a tri-partisan government as well as a Native American vote. Preach on, Chan! But like I said, as a copy editor, I can’t help but twitch at the errors, considering it’s my job to make sure that all text entering the public domain is free of grammatical/factual errors so it reads smoothly. Now, I can attest to the fact that when something is written with passion, integrity, and a pressing need to completely reiterate certain feelings without censorship or too much thought, it’s important to throw the rules out the window and say what you gotta say. And I guess Ms. Marshall has ... she even went to the extent of tagging several well-known Twitter users like: Diplo, U2, Dave Chapelle, Madonna, The New York Times and more. Some good words, Chan, but if you need a copy editor, let me know. But then again, I may be making a moot point because a statement like this isn’t just meant to be typed/transcribed, but also meant to be spoken. As Marshall says, “HOW DO YOU FIGHT WITH JUST A WORD IN TEXT, SPEAK IT.” View/Add Comments [ 3 ] Yeezus comin’ on June 18Kanye West’s newest LP confirmed
West performed two new tracks from his forthcoming LP on “Saturday Night Live” this past weekend, giving fans a taste of what’s to come. And Kim Kardashian posted a photo on Instragram, which has already been confirmed to be the cover art for the album. You know ... because they gotta keep it in the family (but only if it’s in front of the entire world). So, be on the lookout for what will no doubt be another interesting and thought-provoking record from one of hip-hop’s most notable figures.
Synchro proffers Dairyland dark wave sweets tonight Dairyland dark wave Everyone needs to get out of the house—no, work doesn't count—every now and again. I personally plan to do some R&R creepin' at Synchro Studio (512-B Yale SE) this evening. What could lure a dyed-in-the-wool recluse like me out and about? Samantha Glass. I've been a fan of Madison, Wis.-based synth hunk Beau Devereaux's work for a month of Sundays, and tonight he brings Burque "synthetic melodies remind[ing] one that moonlight can illuminate space in as striking a manner as any old mass of incandescent gas." Devereaux is touring with stellar Milwaukeean one-woman minimal synth/cold wave act Stacian. Highway dream-pop duo Dripping Rainbow and the inimitable Alan George Ledergerber rep our enchanted local scene. Peep related A/V below.

How could the Alibi get Burt’s listings wrong? Well, it was my fault. In my NyQuil induced day-coma, I managed to miss the fact that the listing was wrong for both the 10th and 11th and that the 12th, a freaking-awesome special show, was completely missing. Here’s the real deal, kids: Thursday 09 • The Original Weekly Dance Party with JOSH BURG (Plus $1.00 PBR until midnight!) Friday 10 • MAN HURLS HEDGEHOG • WILLY J AND THE STORYTELLERS • FART HOUSE Saturday 11 • VERTIGO VENUS • THE HOWLIN’ WOLVES • TEXYLVANIA • DJ XIBABALOA Sunday 12 • GASHCAT • GHOSTFOOT • THE ALCHEMIST Wednesday 15 • ABQ's True Skool Underground Hip Hop • AKIL THE MC (JURASSIC 5) ARIANO • THOUGHTS ARIZEN  Thunderstruck, lucky number, magnet and steel and teeming Martsch Cole Bee Wilson I often feel that the wonder inherent in the New Mexico music scene is an amazingly well-kept secret. This week’s live music forecast supports that hypothesis. Whether you’re in search of avant-garde/magic realist/aural alt.history, gothic Americana, alt.country/indie pop or twangy indie rock, Music to Your Ears has you covered. Peep related A/V below.

Peep related A/V below. Depeche Mode - The Making of Delta Machine We Drew Lightning - “Black Torrent” Arrington de Dionyso’s Malaikat dan Singa - Open the Crown Glitterdick’s lost singer has been found. Yesterday, Glitterdick drummer Suzi alerted music fans on the web that the band had neither seen nor heard from singer Kendoll Killjoy (a.k.a. Kendal Fortson) for over a month following the Albuquerque-based band’s return from their West Coast tour. We’re pleased to report that Suzi has just received contact from Kendoll, and he is fine. He just wasn’t checking his email. Suzi writes: CALL OFF THE SEARCH. I just got an email from Kendal. He is apparently "bummin around on the road," and finally checked his email. Thank you to everyone who put the word out, and we are all truly sorry for the unnecessary panic. Please pass the message on. View/Add Comments [ 1 ] Infamous, “Albatross” and Americana Mobb Deep There’s been a resurgence of ’90s-famous acts, many of whom continued creating sonic art long after their 15 minutes of fame. Corrosion of Conformity’s fourth album, Deliverance, was in regular rotation in my headbanging collection as a youngster. I didn’t discover Mobb Deep until much later, but I’m a fan of their early work. Read all about where you can witness performances by the aforementioned acts and Danzig, as well as Texan singer-songwriter Hayes Carll in this week’s Music to Your Ears. Scope related A/V below.
