As promised, I'm keeping you up to date on the new LCD Soundsystem album "This Is Happening" I've found 2 things: first is a decidedly disco tinged remake of the Alan Vega's "Bye Bye Bayou" Which you can listen to on the left. Apparently I haven't been doing enough searching as this has been available since last November (damn!) second is another track off the new album called "Drunk Girls" (listen HERE) I'm not too crazy about the latter but will withhold judgment until I hear it in context of the entire album....oh who am I kidding, I fucking hate it! UGH! The rest of the album better be way better than this track. Anyways, if anyone besides me cares at all, there's the latest on LCD Soundsystem....after the jump is the trailer for their video for "Drunk Girls" enjoy....

Music: New Releases & Updates
This just in & I'm really excited because it MUST mean we are closer to actually getting our hands on it! The NEW LCD Soundsystem album finally has a name and cover art:
It's great news but as yet there's nothing more on an official release date for "This Is Happening", rest assured I'll keep you posted as this is one I'm really looking forward to!
Black Francis (aka: Frank Black of the seminal 90's alternative rock band the Pixies)drops a new album today titled "Nonstoperotik". Recorded last year in NYC, L.A. & London (apparently the London studio was haunted) features 10 new, supposedly sexually charged songs, plus a cover of the Flying Burrito Brothers’ “Wheels” thrown in to boot. (Listen to "Six Legged Man" HERE)
Sup Pop Records Dum Dum Girls, formed in late 2008 drop a great album called "I Will Be" with a sound like 60's pop meets post punk girl group...and with songs like "Jail la la" and "Bhang Bhang I'm a Burnout", I had to take notice
I know this is way jumping the gun, but I don't care....one of my favorite bands of the last decade, Keane, are releasing a new 8 track EP titled "Night Train" Although it's not slated for release until May 11th, I had to mention it as I'm really looking forward to this as much as the LCD Soundsystem! Get your first listen to the track "Clear Skies" HERE.
UPDATE: Keane JUST released the first video from Night Train called "Stop For A Minute" feat. K'naan here it is:
Lastly, MGMT come back with a follow up to their awesome 2008 debut "Oracular Spectacular" titled "Congratulations". Their sophomore disc promises to be a new direction, but a good one, for the band...Soulful and complex, "Congratulations" is a surprising and delightful quantum step forward in MGMT's ongoing pop revolution. Officially dropped on April 13, the band has acknowledged it's pre-release leak onto the internet.

More music news: new/upcoming releases
I am currently listening to & very much enjoying a (pre-release) copy of the much anticipated Goldfrapp album "Head First", whose lead single "Rocket" has had me grooving on it's 80's Xanadu vibe for weeks!(listen to the Penguin Prison Remix of "Rocket" on the left of this page under the search function) The album officially gets dropped next Tuesday, March 23rd
File under "It's about fucking time!" Sarah McLachlan has finally announced her first new release of all new material in over 7 years! " The Laws Of Illusion" will be released on June 15th
Also looking forward to the new LCD Soundsystem (as yet to be titled) album which according to the bands website will be released this May, although no official date has been set.
Natalie Merchant also breaks her nearly decade long silence with her 2-disc Nonesuch Records debut titled "Leave Your Sleep" on April 13th
Says the former 10,000 Maniacs singer"This album captures so many magical moments, the best times I've ever had as a musician" She's adapted 19th and 20th century British and American poetry - well-known and obscure works, anonymous rhymes, children's lullabies, all of it timeless....here's hoping!
Lastly something I found of interest in the covers dept. The Bird & The Bee is releasing an album of Hall & Oates covers titled " Interpreting the Masters, Vol. 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall & John Oates" (Phew! that's a mouthful, eh?) This drops next Tuesday as well and promises to be a fun reminder of how great a song writing duo H&O were.....certainly not as good as the originals, but a pop tribute perfect for summer.
