1/7/10 News briefs: Future Of The Left, The Ruby Suns, Liars, Jack White and New Young Pony Club
Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Future Of The Left have parted ways with their label 4AD. Frontman Andy Falkous said that the band are going full steam ahead with a new album, however. “This time I’m hoping to take the thing full circle and to channel the spirit of Freddie Mercury - not Brian May - through Slayer’s backline.”
Though there hasn’t been much hoopla over it, Sub Pop is releasing the new album by Auckland, New Zealand’s terrific The Ruby Suns. Fight Softly will be out on March 2nd.
Need another reason to be excited about the new Liars album? Of course not, but how about this? Sisterworld will come with a second disc of “remixes and reinterpretations” of each track. Some of the parties involved include Thom Yorke, Suicide’s Alan Vega, Deerhunter/Atlas Sound’s Bradford Cox, TV On The Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe, The Melvins and Blonde Redhead.
Jack White is talking about a solo album again. Speaking to Rolling Stone, the leader of the White Stripes/Dead Weather/Raconteurs said he’s looking at it in 2010, but it could be a challenge “to differentiate from anything else that I’ve done.”
New Young Pony Club are getting people geared up for their new album, The Optimist. Ty Bulmer says the songs are more introspective this time around and that “‘it makes the first sound like a bunch of nursery rhymes.”

10/30/09 News briefs: Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Dead Weather, Spoon, Canada’s hottest bands and the Top 7 Horror Movie Metal Videos
Friday, October 30th, 2009
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion will have their entire catalogue reissued by Shout Factory! next year. While Spencer says they’re currently “very much in deep hiatus, the ‘90s indie rock powerhouse could reunite to celebrate the reissues. “We’re all up for it,” he says.
Jack White told NME Radio that The Dead Weather already have “15 or 20 songs” ready to record a follow-up to this summer’s Horehound in December. “We’d love to have the second record out within a year of the first one.”
Speaking of new albums, indie darlings Spoon have announced they’ll release their seventh full-length in 2010. Transference will be out on January 26th via Merge Records.
After a lengthy search using bloggers and music journalists from across the country, i(heart)music has decided what Canada’s hottest bands were in 2009. We’ll save you the suspense of who #1 is, but it rhymes with The Zural Falberta Vadvantage.
And to get you in the mood for Halloween tomorrow, or perhaps more appropriately, Devil’s Night tonight, Invisible Oranges has picked the Top 7 Horror Movie Metal Videos. If torture porn tickles your fancy, well these selections by Lair of the Minotaur, Impaled and of course, Cannibal Corpse, will definitely do the trick.

10/15/09 News briefs: Depeche Mode, Karen O, Album cover stamps, White Stripes and Johnny Marr
Thursday, October 15th, 2009
Depeche Mode singer Dave Gahan made the ultimate rock’n'roll blunder at a concert in Peru: he shouted “Thank you very much Chile!” to the audience.
In an interview with New York Magazine, Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer Karen O discusses her work on the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack, which somehow gets her to confess she used to slap the butts of her grandparents and babysitters.
As of January 7, 2010, you’ll be able to put the cover from some of the greatest British albums ever released on your outgoing mail. Royal Mail is introducing a series of stamps featuring the album covers for Blur’s Parklife, New Order’s Power, Corruption & Lies and Primal Scream’s Screamadelica.
The White Stripes are gonna release some rare outtakes from their first album. But there’s a catch - in order to get them you’ve got to sign up for the Third Man record club subscription.
Legendary guitarist Johnny Marr is all for talking about his role in The Cribs and Modest Mouse, but ask him about Morrissey and The Smiths and he’ll say “I’m done talking about that shit. Who cares?”
