A quick round up of things that I haven't yet wrote about this week...Broken Social Scene are to release a book. It's going to detail their rise to indie fame and will feature contributions from Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning, Jason Collett and other band members. These kind of books tend to be very interesting reads, so watch out for it next year hopefully.
There was a nice article in the Independent yesterday about the new Radiohead album and the unique way it was being released. Well worth a read, and if you're a Radiohead newbie it has a nice brief history of the band.
Nine Inch Nails leader Trent Reznor is to split up his current band of Aaron North, Jeordie White, Alessandro Cortini and Josh Freeze. He wants to look at new ways at performing his music live. A bit sad really, since Aaron North was hugely entertaining to watch and he captured the whole spirit of Nine Inch Nails live. Will be interesting to see what Trent does next though.
Anthony Kiedis of Red Hot Chili Peppers is a first time father. Hopefully the young child, Everly B, distracts Kiedis so much that he doesn't have time to make another pointless double album.
Modest Mouse head off on a North American tour this Autumn. The dates are here.
The most pointless best of ever - The Libertines: Time For Heroes - gets released. The tracklisting is awful, people have most of the tracks already and it's just a greedy idea by the record company. Just don't buy it.
DIGG IT!
