10/2/09 News briefs: Phoenix, LCD Soundsystem, Ramones, Libertines and Pitchfork
October 2nd, 2009
Phoenix have a remix album coming out called Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (Remix Album). The tracklisting has been released and there’s plenty of good lookin’ contributors, like Passion Pit, The Soft Pack, Friendly Fires, YACHT, Chairlift, and of course, Animal Collective.
We can expect a new album from LCD Soundsystem in March. The band’s boss James Murphy made the announcement on the wall of their Facebook page, of all places. He wrote: “record: march. tour: after.”
Fox Searchlight is in talks to bring a Ramones’ biopic to the screen. The film would be based on I Slept With Joey Ramone, the memoir written by brother Mickey Leigh and longtime punk writer and Ramones chronicler Legs McNeil. Sounds great, but didn’t they tell the band’s complete history in the End Of The Century doc?
Carl Barat has informed the NME that he is far too busy to reform The Libertines next year. Instead, it will happen “when it needs to happen,” which could be in 2011. Will anyone care at that point?
Pitchfork has completed its triumphant run through of its Top 200 Albums Of The 2000s, which begins with Jay Reatard’s Blood Visions and ends with Radiohead’s Kid A. We hope we didn’t ruin anything for you…
