The Beastie Boys are hoping to screen their concert DVD Awesome: I F***in’ Shot That at Sundance. What's with the title? Well, the guys handed out 50 video camera's to fans during their 2004 Madison Square Garden show to see what they could capture. No sale date yet on when this will be available.
In case the release of the new Classic Case album, Dressed To Impress, passed you by on October 18th. You can head over to classiccase.net and preview the entire album. You'll want to give this album a chance.
In the current issue of Rolling Stone (a clip which is also posted on their official website), the Eagles of Death Metal claim their long-awaited album, Death By Sexy, should hit stores in January. The blurb offered the two song titles "Shasta Beat" and "Move in the Night." The Eagles have also landed a few dates opening for the Foo Fighters in the UK.
Not only did Head Automatica recently release two previously unreleased tracks, they have reportedly hit the studio in Los Angeles, CA with producer Howard Benson (Blindside, Sepultura). According to fan site glassjaw.net, the band will be posting photos online as they begin full-fledged recording.

Just wanted to provide a little follow-up from last week: you can keep up with the progress of The Rentals forthcoming album at both their official website and MySpace page (which will soon have "the first ever complete retrospective on The Rentals"). Reportedly, the album will be completed and ready for release in 2006.
The forthcoming Crimea record, Tragedy Rocks, is still a ways off from total completion and hitting store shelves but we've got links to two behind-the-scenes videos of the band making the record. Check the more for the links.
The Magic Numbers embarked on their tour as of Sunday and are likely playing near you. Why not check the tour dates and see them live? If you're hesitant maybe you should check them out on KCRW, already listenable in the archive.
Faster than I ever thought it would happen Autolux have reported that they are already returning to the studio to record their sophomore album (there was talk of an EP for awhile as well, not sure what happened with that). Regardless, this is good news for people who like good music.
The upcoming Deftones Taste of Chaos tour that we mentioned is now said to include As I Lay Dying, Atreyu, Thrice, Story Of The Year, Funeral for a Friend, and dredg (though not every band will play every show). Specific dates are forthcoming.
Stephen Brodsky of Cave In will partake in a split EP release with Ramona Cordova on December 27th.
Punk stalwarts Bad Religion will release their DVD Live at the Palladium on February 20th. The disc contains footage from a two-night stint at the Los Angeles venue as well as miscellaneous footage of the band spanning from 1981-1983, random interviews, and other such DVD standards.
The forthcoming Belle & Sebastian release is now said to have the title The Life Pursuit, despite previous reports. Still no tracklisting yet.
Though it is not the super-deluxe expanded edition that Trent Reznor wanted to put together it does appear that the Nine Inch Nails release Pretty Hate Machine will finally be back in store shelves after being out of print for a number of years. The Nov. 22nd release actually has no additional material whatsoever but I guess beggars can't be choosers. The disc will likely find an extended release someday but it is pure speculation as to when that will be.
If you're looking for something to do on New Years, don't mind finding your way to Chicago, and would love to see the likes of The Books, Wolf Parade, Blood on the Wall, Diplo, and Jason Forrest then you may want to check out the Pitchfork Media 10-Year Anniversary being thrown on December 30th and 31st.

All Tomorrow's Parties will release the Matt Groening curated compilation CD All Tomorrow's Parties: Pacific 2003 featuring the likes of Sonic Youth, Spoon, Modest Mouse, The Shins and many others. Most of the tracks aren't anything you don't already own on the artists respective albums but the disc comes with original art from Simpsons-creator Groening as well as Sonic Youth performing the Simpsons theme-song. Could make a great stocking stuffer. Looking for it December 6th.
Alright, finally the details for the upcoming Queens of the Stone Age CD/DVD release we've been waiting for (November 22nd).

Expect random backstage footage, outakes, and other such DVD standards to appear.
