- Paul McCartney is brewing up a deluxe edition of his Starbucks-approved semi-new album Memory Almost Full. The reissue, in retail stores November 6th on the coffee giant’s Hear Music label and in your local Starbucks November 8th, will be accompanied by a live DVD, plus three unreleased songs (“In Private,” “Why So Blue” and “222”).
- After his current tour ends, Morrissey plans to return to the studio to record the follow-up to 2006’s Ringleader of the Tormentors. Morrissey told BBC News that the album is “absolutely written and completely ready.” The ex-Smiths singer is currently without a record contract, but is weighing an offer from Warner Bros.
- This year’s Big Day Out Festival, to be held late January to early February in select cities in Australia and New Zealand, will feature performances by Rage Against the Machine, Arcade Fire, Björk, LCD Soundsystem and many more.
- While you wait anxiously for Matador Records to reissue Pavement’s Brighten the Corners, the label will help pass the time by releasing deluxe, expanded editions of Mission of Burma’s Vs. and The Horrible Truth About Burma in early 2008.
- Blur’s Alex James has declared that the not-quite-yet-reunited band is still capable of making their “best album ever.” The band, with guitarist Graham Coxon back in tow, had scheduled a lunch this week to discuss returning to the studio to record a follow-up to 2003’s Think Tank.
