No, we're not talking an astronauts iPod dock, we're talking Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (or S.Te.Re.O) - two satellites now in orbit around our star with the purposes of getting a full 360 of the roasting ball of fire for the first time and sussing out whether or not it does indeed have it's hat on, and if it will be coming out to play. And by 'coming out to play' they mean flinging out coronal mass ejections that mess with all our funky electrics, knock satellites out of action or burn the planet to death. In celebration of another milestone in humanity's space adventures, here's some prog:
It's Time To Get Away : LCD Soundsystem announce last ever show :(
Goddamit, first the White Stripes decide it's time to bugger off, and now the most influential and groovy band of the last decade (not to mention one of the best live acts EVER) are leaving us for the history books. LCD will bow out with a show in Madison Square Gardens, require all to attend dressed in white and/or black, and will be playing for 3 hours with support from a whole host of DFA associates. So at least it's going to be a proper send off. Details here on the DFA site.
If anyone wants to fly us to NYC for April 2nd, that would be great, thanks.

Shrag - Ghosts Before Breakfast
Where It's At Is Where You Are offer up their February singles club download in the form of an excellent 3-track fuzz 'n' beat indie punk -out from Brighton's Shrag.
Lead track 'Ghosts Before Breakfast' Sounds a lot like Love Is All attempting The Rapture's 'Out Of The Races And On To The Tracks', and is a definite winner.
Download the full 3-track E.P here.

Limp Bizkit (almost) Officially Shit
Maybe you live in Austin, Texas. Maybe you don't.
Either way, you absolutely should get involved with helping their 'Solid Waste Service Department' (ie. poo processing plant) choose its new name. Why? Because they're letting an internet vote decide it, and the current top suggestion and leader by several thousand votes is the epic:
FRED DURST SOCIETY OF THE HUMANITIES AND ARTS
Fuck. Yes. That's right.
Please, for the love of various gods:
VOTE!

So Long And Thanks For All The Blues
The White Stripes have split up. Not sure what else can be said about that.

Siriusmo - Feromonikon / Signal
Having made what was easily our favourite electronic tune of 2010, the magnificent 'Einmal In Der Woche Schreien', Siriusmo greets 2011 with a hypnotic electro club track that keeps threatening to go all spacey, but never really does, instead finding itself falling repeatedly through the filters and bleeps that one might hear if R2D2 discovered a vocoder and a drumbox and used them to try and get a contract with Ed Bangers and Kitsune at once. The AA side 'Signal' is like the theme from an 80's BBC Schools programme - albeit one about some mad unit of disco soldiers who do like a nice march now and then but often find it too rigid, preferring to just chill out to some lounge house. Out now on Monkeytown.

Chilly Gonzales - "You Can Dance'"
Bum-tastic, bosom jiggling, Chilly slapping video for the Entertainist's latest 80's-workout-disco-esque single.
Serious Hassle (Hoff).
I really hope my mid life crisis is this exciting and surreal.
Yes, it's The Hoff, and he's hooked on a feeling. And by the looks of things, that feeling is called crack.

Yuck Album Announced
Yuck have announced details of their debut album, called, er...'Yuck', (cover artwork below). Due In February on Fat Possum and Pharmacy records, stay tuned for streams in the near future. Which is a good enough excuse to re-post the 'interview' we conducted with the band earlier in the year, in which they hold forth on nuns, aliens & pop music, male pregnancy and the apocalypse. Yum.
