Stereogum told me so. Their new site is right here. The Verve … were back recording together in a London studio last week. After a summer break, they will return to the studio to complete their next album. The Verve will also return to the live arena in November, playing … 6 shows in the [...]
Link to details, here. I have a strong resistance to Star Wars/Spiderman/Transformers hype, but when it comes to Indiana Jones…I am weak. [heads up via Dethroner]

!!! is not a band I had listened to before their latest, ‘Myth Takes‘. I only know about the band because of that song, “Me And Guliani Down By The Schoolyard”, which was a hipster doofus hit back in 2004. I keep reading the term ‘dance/punk’ when people talk about this band. I’m sure the [...]
