Super Furry Animals will perform songs from their Creation Records back catalogue at a gig in their hometown of Cardiff, Wales on November 20th. “Recreation” will be part of the Soundtrack and International Film and Music Festival, and will also screen frontman Gruff Rhys’ film Separado!.
Hans-Peter Lindstrøm is set to get into the holiday spirit by releasing a 40-minute version of “Little Drummer Boy.” His cosmic disco version of the Christmas classic will be available as a special bonus disc with his forthcoming album Real Life Is No Cool, a collaboration with singer Christabelle.
The Quietus is getting readers ready for Halloween this week with a series of spooky stories written by musicians. So far, Wild Beasts have contributed a tale they call “The Cottage,” while Alison Mosshart of The Kills and The Dead Weather handwrote hers, titled “The Black Marks.”
Retribution Gospel Choir have unveiled the most breathtaking album cover of this next year.
And The xx have remixed/covered Florence and the Machine’s “You’ve Got the Love” and it’s brilliant. Thankfully there is an eye-popping video with a throwback to Studio 54 to go with it.

10/26/09 News briefs: Mighty Boosh, Creation Records, Morrissey, Pulp and indie rock tutorials
Monday, October 26th, 2009
Not only is The Mighty Boosh coming to the big screens, but Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt have fessed up that they’re also working on an album!
A new documentary on the triumphant and turbulent history of Creation Records will premiere in February, 2010. Titled Upside Down, the doc will feature interviews with everyone involved in the label, including co-founder Alan McGee, Oasis’ Noel Gallagher, and Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, among others.
Poor Morrissey. The Moz was just about to begin a concert at the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon, England when he collapsed on stage and was rushed to the hospital. He was released from a hospital yesterday and is said to be resuming his tour eventually.
Pulp may reunite for Glastonbury 2010. So says Jarvis Cocker, who recently admitted “Glastonbury means an awful lot to me, I would love to play there again. We’ve talked about it, there we go, there’ll be a band reunion.” Now that’s a reunion worth seeing.
And if you’ve ever wanted to learn how to play Vampire Weekend’s “A-Punk” or The National’s “Fake Empire,” CBC’s Q has video of the bands giving a tutorial how.
