LAST WEEK AT BURNING AMBULANCE

Only four days' worth of new content at BurningAmbulance.com last week, because of Thanksgiving. Here are the links.

Monday: an interview with Secret Society bandleader Darcy James Argue
Tuesday: Dan Tepfer Trio, Five Pedals Deep (by new BA contributor R. Emmet Sweeney)
Wednesday: Ghost, Opus Eponymous
Thursday: William S. Burroughs' "Thanksgiving Prayer," plus video of W.C. Fields and Ricky Jay

I LIKE COLDPLAY

From the Guardian:

Coldplay's next album will apparently be influenced by New York graffiti artists and the anti-Nazi resistance. According to Chris Martin, these different sets of non-conformists have inspired songs about "[being] free to yourself" and "[following] your passion".

Despite two charity gigs booked for next month, Coldplay are still hard at work in their London studio, preparing the follow-up to Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. No release date has been set, but the end seems to be in sight – in a new interview with Q magazine, Martin speculated about a possible album title. "It will probably begin with an M," he revealed. "Two words."

Ten quick guesses:

More Coldplay
Mmmmm Pizza
Mrs. Paltrow
Mmmkay Computer
Mandatory Disclaimer
Mediafire Link
'Member "Clocks"?
Motion, Lateral
Minor Chords
Motörhead Rules

TODAY ON VILLAGEVOICE.COM

Strictly for the online edition, I review Friday night's Monarch/Tinsel Teeth (I left before the final band, Bloody Panda, came onstage) show at New York's Cake Shop. Here's a link.

I met Monarch vocalist Emilie Bresson (that's her in the crappy photo—also by me—above) running the group's merch table, and bought two CDs from her: Mer Morte (out now on Crucial Blast) and Sabbat Noir (out now on Heathen Skulls). Each is a single long track, heavy on feedback and atmosphere, and each is highly recommended.
