Cream / Creamtastic Track or Treat + Whatev-sy Bits: The Nobility, WOTT, De Novo Dahl's Back, Califone Canceled and Diarrhea Planet Exists

* The Nobility's The Art of Building a Moat, originally released in 2005 while they were known as Jetpack, "was removed without warning" from iTunes earlier this year. No worries. Now you can get the whole thing on their Bandcamp. Name your price.
* Download The Rabbit Sampler, feat. six thoughtful indie-pop tunes by Evan P. Donahue. Or "literate hyper-pop anthems," as Adam Gold once put it. Oh, and there's a Buddy Holly cover in there. Nice.
* We Own This Town has yet another podcast, and this one features all sorts of demos and unreleased tunes from Glossary, Eureka Gold, Square People, Tristen, Caitlin Rose and more.
* De Novo Dahl are apparently back in action, and they'll be returning to the stage "with a nine-piece band and brand-new lineup." They're opening for Royal Bangs, who I really like, Nov. 4 at Mercy Lounge. The Non-Commissioned Officers and My Tyger share the bill. (Tickets)
* Califone dropped off tomorrow night's show at The Basement (Oct. 29). Experimental electronic mystifiers and men-about-town Hands Off Cuba are still playing, though. Thus, still worth your time and money.
* According to Bruce from The End's latest email, a band called Diarrhea Planet exists, and they're playing Nov. 11 with Spider Friends and Bad Cop. Diarrhea Planet. That's real. Wish they'd existed way back when.

I was afraid that getting chewed up and spit out by a label that didn't suit them (to understate the Roadrunner situation entirely) would have soured DND on being a band. It's nice to see them back in the game.

@sideman: It did look fun. Except for the fact that the likelihood of being shat upon by an Internet celeb appeared to be dangerously high at that one.

"once JEFF the Brotherhood took the stage everything changed. People who had been idly dozing off, or smoking on the entry ramp as it seemed like more than half were, lined up along the front of the stage to pound their fists on the plywood floor, jump around and more or less go totally fucking nuts"
That's the JtB I know and love. Made my first trip to CMJ and it totally rocked. Nashville was well represented by some great bands.
Major boo. I've been looking forward to that Califone show for months. Any word on why they canceled?
