NEW RADIOHEAD ALBUM OUT IN TEN DAYS!!!!!!11OMGLOLZ

Since this lil' piece of news was reported yesterday and subsequently caused the heads of about 8 million people to explode, there's been one update. In addition to being available in cheap digital form and expensive discbox version, In Rainbows will also be available in plain ol' CD format sometime in early 2008, at plain ol' CD price.

So, basically, any level of fan can purchase Radiohead in their new form, from the apathetic/broke fan to the regular/semi-broke fan to the die-hard/rich/maybe-broke-but-will-sell-vital-organs-to-afford-discbox fan. I don't think Radiohead would have it any other way.

Black Mountain release In the Future - 10.01.2007



And yet another exciting upcoming release from the crazy folks at Jagjaguwar. Black Mountain is set to release In the Future on January 21st, their most recent since 2005's self-titled release:

01. Stormy High
02. Angels
03. Tyrants
04. Wucan
05. Stay Free
06. Queens Will Play
07. Evil Ways
08. Wild Wind
09. Bright Lights
10. Night Walks

Such typical sword-wielding metal track names. I love it.
