A collaboration between Primal Scream and CSS will surface this year.
Bobby Gillespie, frontman of Scream, met Lovefoxxx in Sao Paulo after having seen them play at the Astoria in London. He asked her if she could like to collaborate on a song and followed it up with an email and the track itself. The song is apparently a mix of psychedelic and electronica.
Revealing how the team-up came about after Gillespie ran into CSS in their hometown of Sao Paulo, the legendary front man then popped the question to Lovefoxxx at one of their gigs. The song will feature on Primal Scream’s new album, which is out this year.
Marty Crandall of The Shins has been arrested.
The keyboard player for the band was taken into custody on Friday after an incident with his girlfriend, Elyse Sewell. Sewell posted a blog on her Live Journal saying he was intoxicated and assaulted, calling it a “blitzkrieg of violence”.
Crandall is set to appear in court on January 8th.

Goldfinger have posted a new song online.
The track, One More Time, is set to be on their as-yet untitled album which is slated for a late April release. The album will be their debut on SideOnedDummy and you can check out the track by clicking the link below.
Foals will not be including their fan favourite singles on their debut album.
Hummer and Mathletics have been ommitted from Antidotes, due out in March. The band have defended the decision by saying that the songs had already been released, so there was no point in releasing them again. Frontman Yannis Philippakis continued by saying:
“We took a lot of care over the way the album was sequenced and we just thought, ‘Fuck it, let’s do the 11 tracks we want to. With a few albums, you’ve already heard a lot of the songs on there. We didn’t want an album where some of the tracks aren’t as good as others. If people want to kill us, they should take solace in the fact that there will be a Japanese version of the album with a separate disc of extra tracks including the singles. But hopefully they won’t want to kill us.”
Mike Skinner has killed his label.
The Beats, which was gome to Example, Professor Green and The Mitchell Brothers, was closed at the end of last year, with Skinner holding a funeral for it on December 19th. Explaining the drastic measure, the frontman of The Streets said:
“It just comes down to the fact that the traditional record label is dead. “The Beats represents me growing up, spectating was more nerve-wracking than performing. What I’m doing now is looking for the thing you can create that embraces the next generation,I’m really into what you can do online and I’d rather be at the centre of it.”
Correcto have a new track, Do It Better, out soon.
