Following on from their US tour announcement this week, bonny-boys Franz Ferdinand have revealed the cover to their highly-anticipated album Tonight: Franz Ferdinand which comes out on January 27th.

Scandinavian pop baby Annie has announced via her myspace that she is parting ways with her record label Island Records in Europe.
She wrote on her blog (with a slew of points of ellipsis);

Well, I can’t substantiate the holiday cheer, but there is a free EP, titled The Freeep. Matt Pond PA is the kind of guy who wants to see you happy, so he’s giving back this year with a free EP available here. Though, I don’t know that it is exactly an EP. It has nine [...]

But the new documentary should not be confused with Vans Warped Tour 2007 (which [...]
The title track from their new album has a video, a new video to be exact. See the band looking cool all over New York on various billboards and as different pieces of street art. Looks great and it’s also inspired me to begin the campaign for the increased use of the organ in contemporary [...]

Well folks, the album that liberated the Dr Pepper is finally here. Never mind reviewing Chinese Democracy, it’s impossible to even listen to the album without the collective weight of a decade plus of anticipation and hype. Here’s the funny thing about hype — [...]
ATP is quickly becoming one of the most interesting yearly musical engagements. Already the 2009 lineup is starting to look as though it might be able to rival the brilliant casting done at this year’s fest. Next year the fest will be taking place Sept. 11-13 (that’s a Friday, Saturday and Sunday).
