NME reports that Trevor Bolder, the bassist in David Bowie's Spiders From Mars band and Uriah Heep, has died after his battle with cancer. He was 62.

Bolder joined Bowie's Spiders From Mars backing band in 1971 alongside Mick Ronson and Mick Woodmansey. He contributed to Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, Aladdin Sane, and Pin Ups. He later joined Uriah Heep in 1976 and was a member up until their 2011 album Into the Wild. He left the band after his health worsened.

The Guardian shared this statement from Uriah Heep's website:

 "It is with great sadness that Uriah Heep announce the passing of our friend the amazing Trevor Bolder, who has passed away after his long fight with cancer. Trevor was an all-time great, one of the outstanding musicians of his generation, and one of the finest and most influential bass players that Britain ever produced. His long time membership of Uriah Heep brought the band's music, and Trevor's virtuosity and enthusiasm, to hundreds of thousands of fans across the world."

Madlib: "The Mad March" on SoundCloud.

On June 7, Madlib will play a special show in San Francisco, at which he'll pay homage to the 70s rock scene in Zambia (dubbed Zamrock). There, he'll sell a special 7" called Rock Konducta, according to Rappcats.

According to Rappcats, Madlib has also been in talks with Mos Def about travelling to Zambia to record a collaborative album. Also according to the site, Madlib and his label, Madlib Invazion, have partnered with Urban Outfitters to sell a compilation of Zamrock music in Urban Outfitters stores.

http://pitchfork.com/news/50834-boards-of-canada-are-doing-something-in-tokyo-today/

Boards of Canada have dropped another cryptic clue, tweeting what would appear to be the time and location of some yet-unspecified event: "May 22nd 24:00 @ 1-23-10 Jinnan Shibuya-ku Tokyo".

A search of the address points to the location of a bank and a Hello Kitty store in Tokyo's central business district.

FACT points to a Tokyo resident who wrote on Twitter: "it's a video screen at the big crossing. Radiohead's PR tried the same thing years ago, but it got cancelled after police pressure." (That would be a reference to this.)

So maybe it's a music video, or some sort of visual, from the new Boards of Canada album Tomorrow's Harvest, which is out June 10 in the UK and June 11 in the U.S. via Warp.

Warp have not responded to a request for more information.

Watch the video they posted teasing the album last month:

http://pitchfork.com/news/50833-watch-she-hims-i-couldve-been-your-girl-video-directed-by-zooey-deschanel/

Zooey Deschanel has shared a self-directed video for She & Him's wistful "I Could've Been Your Girl" via her website, Hello Giggles. Deschanel says it's inspired by her favorite 1960s musicals. She dances throughout the clip, and her bandmate, M. Ward, appears as a mean-looking café patron. (He's credited as "The Star".)

"I Could've Been Your Girl" is off the just-released Volume 3 from Merge.
