11/6/09 News briefs: M.I.A., Bauhaus, Cold Cave, Asobi Seksu and Pixies
Friday, November 6th, 2009
Diplo has described M.I.A.’s new album as sounding “like Gucci Mane meets Animal Collective.” The producer is currently working on her new album with Switch, and says they’ve already finished four tracks.
If goths weren’t into Twilight before well that will soon change. MTV is reporting that Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy will make a cameo in the third film, Eclipse. According to actor Billy Burke, who plays Kristen Stewart’s father, Murphy “plays a vampire in a flashback sequence.” We can only assume Bela Lugosi is rolling in his grave…
Cold Cave’s music is featured in a new ad for Radio Shack. Yes, you can now hear “Life Magazine” try and sell you electronic gadgets that you likely don’t need.
Asobi Seksu are looking to their fans to donate money to them for a UK tour. According to them, “Support bands on large tours like this make next to nothing.”
And the Pixies are offering fans a free download of special Doolittle live EP, which you can grab here.

10/6/09 News briefs: Peter Hook, F**ked Up, Ulrich Schnauss vs. Guns N’ Roses, Daft Punk + Tron Legacy and Bauhaus
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Joy Division/New Order bassist Peter Hook has confessed that he’s fooled collectors in the past by forging the autograph of his late bandmate Ian Curtis. Of course, it was all done for a laugh. (That is pretty funny, actually.)
Damian “Pink Eyes” Abraham, frontman for Polaris Music Prize victors F**ked Up and eternal record junkie, is the star of a new online short that follows him to his favourite local record shop (Toronto’s Rotate This.)
One of the most unlikely lawsuits has come to life: German electronic shoegaze maestro Ulrich Schnauss and his label Domino have launched a $1 million lawsuit again Guns N’ Roses for blatantly sampling two of his songs without clearance. Tsk, tsk Axl.
Not only is Daft Punk scoring next year’s Tron Legacy
, but according to star Olivia Wilde, the influential pioneers of French Touch and outright robotic gods are also making a cameo in the film. (We’re guessing with their masks on…)
And just because they deserve it, the first two Bauhaus albums are getting a deluxe reissue by label Beggars Banquet. A fifth wave of goth, anyone?
