BV has provided the latest Bloc Party / Secret Machines / Mew tour info. The more I listen to Mew, the more I think “…God dammit, we need a tour of JUST Mew.”

Oh well. I guess this is close enough. Which means I should try to go to that Irving Plaza show on July 27th (are they playing there?) or the McCarren Pool show on the 29th. Or…the Boston show? IS IT TIME FOR A ROAD TRIP? The last time I went to Boston was to see Beck. In 2000. ‘Twas a while ago…yeah, holy crap, I’m old.

CJ gave me this non-rock-filled alternate version of Mew’s “The Zookeeper’s Boy” recorded at Livingstone Studios. It’s sweet:
