Canadian choral collective Arcade Fire have begun work on their third LP, the follow up to 2007's Neon Bible, and have been working with Markus Dravs, who previously twisted various knobs and dials for the band on that very album (via BBC 6Music).
Remember 2008? No, me either, but it happened, apparently. Some time in 2008 (possibly around this time last year, I'm led to believe) the BBC, lead by Steve 'Lammo' Lamacq launched "Wear Your Old Band Shirt To Work" day was launched, for the very first time. We are also told it was a raving success and that it returns for 2009, hurrah!
More bands added. Click inside to see just who!
Rock Action-signed Scottish electronic beep and blip crescendo merchants have another album on the way in early 2010, entitled Come Down With Me. Nice.
Is it the end of the year already? Must be time for some summing up the year in list formats. Before we get stuck in with TELLING you what THE BEST record of the year is, we thought we might find out what some of our favourite acts' favourite records of the year were. Kicking things off is not just one of the greatest drummers of all-time...
It's a bit of a cliché to say it, but where has this year gone? 2009 has vanished in the blink of an eye and I've already found myself busy shopping for wrapping paper, gift tags and the worst of the worst decorations to help fill venues across the count
In little over thirty minutes time The Specials are due onstage for the second night of their two-day jaunt in Nottingham, yet still Rock City's doors remain firmly closed...
The girls wanna kiss her, the boys wanna be a fifth as cool as her. Onlookers gaze at the spiky leather jacket atop Japanese cloth and neon danglies. We look on in awe at her yoga poses whilst deep-throatin' a mic. Meanwhile, the blow-up eyes sway and the flutter-flying clouds of confetti stick to sweaty backs 'n' neck...s 'n' faces. Your usual Monday night out, this is not.

This is a good one!

Should be a pretty varied affair.
"Pete Doherty ist ein Dummkopf!" is what some Germans might be saying right now, although some may be using stronger words like "Arsloch", for example. Why, you ask? Well, it may be something to do with his SINGING of the German national anthem under the NAZIS -'Deutschland über alles' or, the 'Deutschlandlied'. Probab...ly not a good move, to be completely truthful (via Sky News).
After last week’s lovelorn thought bog, this time around we turn our attention to the idea of imperfection. And why it is that naïve records with darling little rough edges have a charm all their own.

Ever wanted a piece of Nine Inch Nails? Well, now you can have exactly that, as the Trent Reznor-led industrial rock behemoths are attempting to shift hundreds of items of instruments on the such like on auction website eBay (via Guardian Music).
In slightly WTF-news, member of Danish art-rockers Mew, Jonas Bjerre, has joined up with members of a few other fairly substantial/gigantic bands for his side project Apparatjik.
If Fall Be Kind is noticeably less hooky than Merriweather Post Pavilion, it sounds just as ravishing, and offers an equally cohesive whole.
An album that is weirdly accessible, with a strange universality at its core.
When the Lindstrom & Christabelle album lands at the start of next year, this type of wonked-out Eighties-soaked boogie FUNFUNFUN will likely garner wider attention still. You could do a lot worse than using Zevolution as an entry point.
Chemikal Underground, the venerable Glasgow label which brought us Mogwai, Arab Strap, The Delgados and many others, will celebrate its 15th birthday in January with a show in Glasgow as part of the Celtic Connections festival. That seems like ages off th
Rumblings have been occurring for a while about a film documenting the rise of one of the most important band's in British music history. My Sunday morning stumble around the internet led me to Blur.co.uk where you can see this:
So a typewritered note comes through the door of DiS towers - IT'S ONLY EDDIE VEDDER OF PEARL JAM FAME. It says 'guys, loving what you're doing. We have a new single sort of coming out Nov 30. It's called 'Just Breathe', and to celebrate this fact we wou
Hey there - to round off our 2010 preview week, here is a list of 'other stuff' we're looking forward to. It would be dead neighbourly to post your own hopes, dreams, fears and wild speculations below. This could have been twice as long and three times as speculative, and please bear in mind that new artists with impe...nding debuts are going to be dealt with at the start of next year - WE'RE NOT QUITE Q YET. Anyway, enjoy!

Carl Barat, one half of musical slash comedy due Carl and Pete...errrrrrm, I mean The Libertines, will be treading the boards (that is the correct phrase, isn't it) and making his London stage debut, working alongside Sadie Frost.

The Sunday Times are giving away MORE Blur live goodness this weekend. For free. Sort of.
Sheffield-based noiseniks Rolo Tomassi will be previewing their new album on a mini UK tour early next year, playing five shows across England and Scotland.
