Since it’s Friday, it’s as good excuse as any to write about “music news” in a very general sense. <\/span><\/p>\n

Really though, it’s going to be a lot of me typing “OMG! Guess what _______ just ____ on _________?!”. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hang in there, it might pay off by adding to your anti-boredom arsenal. <\/span><\/p>\n

First talking\/blogging\/reading\/paying attention point: RELEASES (or at least the talk surrounding them). \u00a0<\/span>Oasis<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>, Franz Ferdinand and U2 have all been working on new material in the form of LPs. October, January, and “later this year” respectively is when <\/span>we can expect to sample the goods.\u00a0 <\/span>In U2’s case however, a reissue of their 3 first full-length albums are in order as well, to be released on July 22. <\/span>Anyone else reminiscing about the Birmingham U2 tour stop for Zooropa? Okay, yes I was 9 and that was more like my parents leaving me at home while they got to see it… but still! Joshua Tree carpool music for life! <\/span>Also, I heard Franz got picked up for the Madden ’09 soundtrack. That’d be a nice accent to the hours of video-game related\u00a0obsession I’ll have to endure from my boyfriend; a soundtrack to my boredom, if you will. <\/span><\/p>\n

In “everyone feel sad for me” news, Ratatat is touring for their new release, LP3, and guess what Birmingham, Alabama city they’re not playing in? I KNOW, RIGHT?! Check out their music <\/span>here<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>. Also, <\/span>Pitchfork<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> posted the MP3\/video for their single “<\/span>Mirando<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>“. Fans of Cut Copy, Of Montreal, MGMT and LCD Soundsystem will enjoy it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, Stars has posted a video on Myspace from their album “In Our Bedroom After the War” featuring their single “<\/span>Bitches in Tokyo<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>“. There is so much hipster vernacular before the performance even begins in this video that I do believe Birmingham just gained some scene points. Or ten thousand. They’re Canadian and are full of Lou Reed\/New York Dolls references, so that’s even better.\u00a0I loved this album. Though it’s not in high rotation right now, I was OBSESSED for a good month or two and this video is just another reason to draw more people into my affinity for the band Stars. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully this enhanced 1 or 2 iPods\/hard drives in the metro area long enough to make it through another\u00a0scalding hot\u00a0end to the workweek.\u00a0 <\/span>So, I’m going to play Rock Band and you’re going to check out the <\/span>Timetable<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>\u00a0for what your social calendar looks like this weekend. I know, I know… you’re welcome!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"<\/a>
