You can stream the entire soundtrack to the film Elizabethtown right here and be treated to the likes of My Morning Jacket, Wheat, Tom Petty and many others. And if that doesn't get your Cameron Crowe musical fix on you can read his list of music you should hear.
There will be a new Green Day live DVD released around November 14th entitled Bullet In A Bible. The performance is culled from the bands performance at Milton Keynes’ Bowl over the summer.
We told you that The Exit would be re-releasing their album Home For An Island on October 11th but now we've got the details on the extra tracks they promised.
You thought the boxset With The Lights Out was going to be the be-all-end-all of Nirvana releases? Think again! On November 1st the new b-sides and rarities compilation Sliver - The Best of The Box will be released featuring three new, supposed, unheard songs that were not included in the definitive boxset.
Despite the fact that she's sort of become a joke, Liz Phair will be touring the nation in support of her forthcoming (and apparently not-as-awful) album Somebody's Miracle.
Check out the new Metric album, Live It Out, over at VH1. You'll need a PC, Internet Explorer (unfortunately), and some sort of streaming media plugin. If you don't fit that criteria, just read about the album here.
As a celebration of the life of legendary John Peel, it has been declared that the official John Peel Day will be October 13th and will be celebrated at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall featuring the likes of New Order, Super Furry Animals, The Fall and several others all to be broadcast live in BBC Radio 1.
It appears that on November 8th The Mars Volta will be releasing their live DVD entitled Scabdates. We've got the tracklisting below and have been told it should include footage spanning the bands entire existence.
Look for the new release from Thrice, Vheissu, on October 18th.
The upcoming release from Grandaddy is just an EP to tide you over to the next full-length release, which we've now been told is entitled Just Like The Fambly Cat. Frontman Jason Lytle says the songs are "about the thoughtlessness and mindlessness of sprawl" and to expect something "really big and luscious and gooey."
While it might take a minute for it to show up in the US, Kasabian will be releasing a live DVD entitled Live From Brixton Academy. Aside from the concert footage the disc will also include a documentary entitled Expanding the Empire that covers the bands debut release, touring Japan, and other random shenanigans.
Seems like Veruca Salt is going to release another disc next year, or at least the version of Veruca Salt that consists of Louise Post (Nina Gordon won't be present). If you can't wait until next year, head over to the band's website and get their self-titled, re-released debut Lords of Sounds and Lesser Things.
If you haven't had a chance to check out the latest album from Dropsonic, do yourself a favor and go to their website and listen to "Spiders." At this point, you should be sold and ordering Angels With Insect Wings for immediate delivery.
He's done it before, and he's doing it again. Tom Waits is suing General Motors (and the McCann Erickson ad agency) for using a song in their car ads that is obviously a dead on impersonation of his work.
Wolf Parade have announced more dates in support of their forthcoming LP Apologies To The Queen Mary (September 27th via Sub-Pop). Go see them, you deserve it.
