Night off work? Check. Totally adorable/ridiculous costume? Check. Ticket to the Deerhunter Microcastle record release bash at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta this evening? Check plus. Copy of Deerhunter's just-issued, ultra-limited edition On Platts Eyott Island cassette-only release? Uh...Better start lining up now, Hotlantans, because Bradford Cox & co. have precisely 100 copies of Island on spooktacular orange cassette (see above and below) to give away to the first 100 people who show up at Variety Playhouse tonight. As you may have read in Forkcast, the seven-track release was recorded by Cox and Cox alone at London's Capitol K studio last month and includes alternate renditions of a number of Microcastle jams. Cox refers to it as both "a tribute to John Peel" and "like a pretend John Peel session" on the Deerhunter blog, and the band's overseas label 4AD tells us Island will not be issued in any other physical or digital forms.So what if you can't make it to the ATL tonight? Don't fret just yet. 4AD has 100 additional copies of On Platts Eyott Island on pink cassette to give away to 100 lucky folks who head HERE and part with some contact info. While there, you can stream the whole release-- in a groovy cassette-inspired player, no less. And don't miss the "Saved by Old Times" MP3 over in Forkcast.Tonight's record release show also marks the beginning of a beautiful friendship between Deerhunter and the live music venues of North America. Their travels won't wrap up until early December, and along the way they'll play a Nine Inch Nails makeup show, a whole bunch of gigs with Times New Viking, and scattered runs with an assortment of other ace openers.In other news, uh, BOO! and all that.read more

Stars … they’re just like us! Except for the fact that she lives in an Atlantean castle, sleeps in a zero-gravity purified oxygen-infused sleep chamber, and owns a Space Shuttle, Gwyneth Paltrow is a pretty down-to-earth lady. Proof? How about her Summer Jams playlist, published today on Life + Times. Gwyn shared her 13-track...
