Photo via www.pwelverumandsun.comThose who like their music extra-fragile, rejoice. This Fall, Phil Elverum - he who is sometimes The Microphones and other times Mount Eerie - will be hitting the road this Fall in support of his new record Lost Wisdom and for a good chunk of the dates, he's bringing along as tourmate one of his collaborators on the record, Julie Dorion.
In addition to the new record, which Pitchfork talks to Elverum about, both artists have also re-released old records this year. In April, The Microphones' 2001 release The Glow, Pt 2 was put back into print

Out Magazine asked the questions "What makes an album great? And perhaps even more critical for this list, what makes a great album gay?" and then got some help. As they note:
To create our list of the 100 Greatest, Gayest Albums of All Time, we polled more than 100 actors, comedians, musicians, writers, critics, performance artists, label reps, and DJs, asking each to list the 10 albums that left the most indelible impressions on their lives.

It's not "Singer Songwriter" as covered by a singer songwriter, nor is it "On Tour With Zykos" as covered by Zykos, but Ola Podrida's cover of "Calling And Not Calling My Ex" provides just reason to check in with Okkervil's nearly completed The Stand Ins YouTube cover project.

Big wins from artists you enjoy! Big, technical award wins. The 2008 VMAs air this Sunday night, with a more depressing list of performers (reportedly Britney, definitely the Jonas Brothers) and nominees (see: this) than ever. But good on MTV for handing out the pre-show honors to bands popular with The Internet: They get a little free advertising while not muddying the televised stream of Tokio Hotels and Miley Cyrusses (Best New Artists guys, vote now!) their core demo expects.

Now they're letting the rest of the world in on the fun.
