The Pixies have unveiled the third video off their four-track EP-1. The latest video is for my favorite song from the EP “What Goes Boom.” Check out guitarist Joey Santiago getting blown up in the video below.
The band begins the U.S. leg of their world tour on January 18 in Boston, and most likely concludes it the third weekend in April in The Promised Land. In other related Pixies news; the band graces the cover of the latest issue of Filter Magazine, the rag hit stands on November 15.

Beady Eye “Be”
The band that’s made up of some of the former members of Oasis, are releasing their sophomore effort. The Liam Gallagher fronted band’s latest is the follow-up to their debut 2011 album Different Gear, Still Speeding. The latest video for “Soul Love” (watch below) surfaced on Monday, the tune is part of a double A-Side single with “Iz Rite.” Everything I’ve heard from this album so far is solid.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
This Soundtrack includes some indie faves such as The National, Santigold, Phantogram, and Patti Smith. I also couldn’t help but notice there are a few guilty pleasure acts on it too.

Those that turned out last night at the 40 Watt Club to see Kevin Kinney and The Roamin Countrymen & Peter Buck, got more than their five bucks worth. Bill Berry and Mike Mills joined Peter on stage at the historic Athens, Georgia live music venue. The almost R.E.M. reunion was missing frontman Michael Stipe, who (allegedly) was in the audience. The three-piece played “Don’t Go Back To Rockville” (watch below), from their 1984 release Reckoning. This is the second time since June that we’ve had a near R.E.M. reunion. Bill, Mike, and Peter also played together at Peter’s wedding reception. Apparently, the four hometown heroes were seen on the streets of Athens the day before, so the aRe wE theM appearance came as no surprise.

It was announced earlier this week that Brian Joseph Burton aka Danger Mouse, is producing the new U2 album. The U2 project is in addition to the new Broken Bells music that surfaced recently. Broken Bells, the collaboration of Mr. Mouse and The Shin’s frontman James Mercer, are scheduled to release their sophomore album After The Disco on January 14.
It appears as if Danger has been working with U2 since 2010 on this project, and the finished product is due out in April 2014. The band is said to be procuring a corporate sponsor to unveil ads for the album during next February’s Super Bowl. Now that should insure the LP’s commercial success… The new album will be the follow-up to 2009’s No Line On The Horizon. The band’s latest song “Ordinary Love” will be released on Record Store Day Black Friday, and will also be included on the soundtrack to the movie Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom. Is the 360 tour still going on…
It’s probably only coincidence that the album release date and a big U.S. Festival happen in the same month. Probably only coincidence, but stranger things have happened.

By now, everyone should be fully aware that I can’t get enough of the Glasgow, Scotland band CHVRCHES. Their full-length debut The Bones Of What You Believe, is truly electro-pop at its finest.

Could this be my Album Of The Year???
