Sorry for the site being down all day. My hosting company is having network problems. Here’s a bunch of hott links to make it up to you.

  • Coming soon to The L World The O.C.: Death Cab, Star Wars, and lots of Beck.
  • This week’s recommended limited edition 12″ is The Free Design Redesigned 2. Remixes by Caribou, Sean O’Hagan, Super Furry Animals and others. There’s a free Dangermouse/Murs MP3 at the site.
  • Mariah Carey’s identity crisis continues. Check the bootylicious album cover.
  • The Download Festival will reunite Dinosaur Jr.. Catbirdseat is also predicting they’ll play Merge’s showcase @ SXSW.
  • Brit & K-Fed: Stay classy.
  • Three from P-Fork: tourdates for Gang Of Four, props for Catchdubs, and a big ol’ 2.0 for the prog Volta.
  • The Undertones’ “Teenage Kicks,” the late John Peel’s favorite tune, gets a 7″ rerelease (via Coolfer).
  • Michael won’t let child molestation hearing get in the way of his picnic.
  • Jenny from the blog has new NIN audio and tour info, despite the fact that Trent once broke her heart.
  • Janet gets the mashup treatment: Re-Design Of A Decade.
  • Get well soon Edwyn Collins.
  • Caleb Followill talks to Rolling Stone’s Jenny Eliscu about losing hair and erections. Pick up Aha if you haven’t yet. Today we’re digging “Day Old Blues.” Real mellow like.
  • Industrial musicals are hot again. Recently Starbucks employees found themselves knee-deep in the mocha at the company’s leadership conference when Jefferson Starbucks played a surprise gig. And yes, there’s an MP3. (Link via Gawker.)
  • Remind me to talk about the awesome new Stars disc tomorrow.

    And don’t forget this:

      Totally thought it was Beyonce on the cover…noting the long hair, pose, bosom, skin tone and apparel. Hmm…Beyonce’s hot! ;)

      I cannot get down with the mashups. I just don’t get it. It just sounds so stupid to me. Maybe they’re entertaining for one listen for novelty’s sake, but that’s it. Have we really done everything? Granted I probably shouldn’t talk since I don’t actually make music, but doesn’t this just seem like a giant step back?

    7. eeek! Gang of Four is reuniting? why did i read this before bed? i’m going to have nightmares i just know it..

      2.0???? Man, I hate pitchfork sometimes. Smug little hipsters.

      totally doesn’t look like Beyonce unless youre referring to the Unbe-weave-able-ness of her hair..but who in the hell is she fooling? that is one air brushed picture….

      the “new” (it came out here last October 12, what an excellent birthday present) Stars album is super good. I find it a lot more consistent than their last one, ‘Heart’.
      Amy Millan has the voice of an angel…..no wait, FIFTY angels.

      i <3 stars! my neighbor introduced their music to me and i absolutely love them. “set yourself on fire” is excellent and i can’t wait to see them at the troubador.

    14. If anyone actually does care about NIN news, the NIN Hotline (http://www.theninhotline.net) has all the scoops, far faster than anyone else on the net.

      What the fuck is the deal with electrical cord hanging on Kevin as he is getting into the jet?

      Also, “OMG, I NEED that Hello Kitty bag”

      hey what’s up with scratching out The L Word??? I think it could make for a great comment site!!!!

    18. Before you buy Aha by Kings of Leon, decide whether you want it on cd only or whether to buy it on itunes, because it’s exclusively on Windows Media DRM and can’t be ripped onto on ipod (legally).
