- Interpol have apparently finished work on their new album. The band, who recorded their as-of-yet-untitled third album in New York, are currently mixing it in London, and according to guitarist Daniel Kessler, the record reveals a more “open” attitude. “With this record, I think, anything goes,” Kessler reportedly said. “It sounds like our tunes, but there’s a lot more atmosphere and sound in general, rather than just filling it up with guitars all the time.”
- Well this is cool. Most of the tracks recorded for the forthcoming June Carter Cash tribute album Anchored in Love (out June 19th) were recorded at the southwest Virginia Carter Family home, Billboard reports. Performers include: Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Emmylou Harris and Brad Paisley.
- Congratulations to our very own resident pop culture poet Rob Sheffield! Rob wrote an extraordinary memoir/guide to life, Love Is A Mixtape, which has landed at Number 19 on The New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction best seller list. Get yourself a copy and help Rob break into the Top Ten, then read it and thrive.
- Foxy Brown is on her way to being the music world’s Naomi Campbell. The troubled rapper was reportedly arrested in Florida yesterday and held overnight for battery and obstruction of justice charges, which stemmed from some sort of disturbance that took place at a Pembroke Pines beauty-supply shop. What is it with Foxy and beauty-emporium-inspired violence? She’s already on probation for a previous incident with her manicurist.
- Check out a new Black Rebel Motorcycle Club song, “Weapon of Choice.” The word is they’ve traded in their obvious Jesus and Mary Chain jones for a Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver vibe, so obviously that’s horrifying. [via Stereogum]
