Demos from Blur‘s Parklife have made their way online.

Parklife and Girls And Boys are the two tracks you can hear in their earliest forms, before they went on to become Top Ten hits in 1994. We’re just glad they changed into the great tunes they did because these demos sound a bit crap.

Sonic Youth have announced they have recorded a cover for the upcoming Bob Dylan film.

The band have recorded the track I’m Not There with guitarist Lee Ranaldo laying down tracks for the film with guest vocalists such as Eddie Vedder, Karen O, Tom Verlaine and Stephen Malkmus joining him.

The film, also titled I’m Not There is out this year and sees seven actors playing Dylan including Richard Gene, Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett.

Check the trailer:

Gogol Bordello frontman Eugene Hutz is going to starring in a film.

The eccentric Gypsy Punk is reportedly set to appear in Filth And Wisdom, a film directed by Madonna. The band famously played with the singer recently for Live Earth and as a result Hutz is going to be playing a character called A.K. in the film.

Bad Brains have spoken out about the death of Hilly Kristal.

Darryl Jenifer of the band issued the following statement on the owner of CBGB’s:

“The Brains didn’t go to college… CBGB’s was our university. Hilly was our head master. And although the music died back in the 50’s with Holly and Richie…the punk lives with Hilly, Joey, Stiv and CB’s. Forever is the spirit of Hilly and his punk rock. Thanks Hilly, we will all ways remember you as the don of punk and the king of the bowery…that serious looking nice guy….Jah lives… the Bad Brains.”
