Minidoka Swing Band– Wall Street Journal has a front-page story today about the Minidoka Swing Band, made up almost entirely of Japanese-Americans interned during WWII and their decedents. The article–and if you’re doing to read one article about music today, make it this one– goes on to talk about Seattle swing band Mikados of Swing, whose members were interned at Idaho’s Minidoka Relocation Center. — Pitchfork gave Daniel Martin Moore/Ben Sollee’s Sub Pop album, Dear Companion at generous 6.4 out of 10. The pair plays the Croc on Tuesday.– Rolling Stone: Jimi Hendrix’s Axis: Bold as Love hits Rock Band on Tuesday.– NME: Another day, another former manager suing Axl Rose.– Weekly Volcano: Next time you’re having a conversation about the evil’s of major labels, don’t forget to mention the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars Interscope paid Post Stardom Depression to NOT make an album.– Stereogum: Just noticed this one: “The 21 Worst All-Star Charity Music Videos Of All Time.”
