The Texan four-piece responsible for Jason Dill’s Mosaic part being even more flowing than anyone could imagine, Spoon have released a new single today through Anti-Records.

Nobody Gets Me But You appears on Transference and the video was premiered earlier this morning (via DiS). Watch it below.

Those fuzzy, psych-garage legends from the Isle of White Boe Weaver have released a limited edition tee shirt this morning.

There are only 50 of these available so grab them from here before they all get snapped up and look out for fresh tunes dropping soon.

The third single to come from Panda Bear’s forthcoming and highly anticipated Tomboy will be called Last Night At The Jetty and will be backed with Drone.

It will be released on December 21st through Fat Cat Records in an edition limited to 3000 copies. You can pre-order it here.

Insound have described the record: “”Last Night at the Jetty” finds Lennox’s beautifully layered, honeyed vocal harmonies morphing across a fairly simple grid of wobbly guitar, a whip-crack metronome-beat and a scattering of electronic sounds and effects. B-side “Drone” takes an even more reductive, minimalist approach, jettisoning the beat altogether with Lennox’s long-held vocals hovering over a step-sequence of synthesized tone-blocks.”

Excited. Listen to one of the year’s best tracks (featured perfectly in the latest Habitat video), Slow Motion below.

…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead will release their new record Tao Of The Dead on February 8th, 2011.

There aren’t many details at the moment, but suffice to say everyone at Crossfire is very excited to hear what’s to come!

La Dispute are currently recording their new album in Chicago and have stated on twitter that the first 2 songs sound ‘raunchy’.

If you’re at university and study a course or module involving film, chances are your reference material consists of Sight and Sound, over 9000 books by Stephen Neale and plenty more pieces of yawn-inducing garbage. Well, Zack Carlson and Bryan Connolly have put a megaton of hours of research to bring you Destroy All Movies!!! The Complete Guide To Punks On Film, something guaranteed to inspire and spice up your essay.

Even if you’re not at university writing tedious spiel about genre and watching Blade Runner for the 500th time, this is a must have for fans of punk music and film alike. The 600 page book documents over 1000 feature films and  includes interviews with major players. Richard Hell (author of the foreword) and Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat, Keith Morris of Black Flag and Circle Jerks, Lee Ving of Fear, Shawn Stern of Youth Brigade and many more are victim to insightful questions from the masterminds at work behind this.

Due out in December this should be on all you snot-nosed geek’s wishlists for Christmas.
