JV dropped some new stuff out on his site:

If you need to tide yourself over until the next Pinback disc
comes out (some time in the fall, IIRC), you can check out the new solo disc by Pinback’s
Zach Smith, recorded under the name Systems Officer.
There are a couple of song “clips” available on the site.

* There’s a full mp3 of “Forever This Cyanide” available over at Insound. Props to Andy for the heads-up.

Great article on Big Star over at Pop Culture Press.

There’s a new PSOI EP out on
Domino in the UK. Caught In The Rain features
that track, 2 new songs, “Fresh Fudge” and “At Kose”, the demo version of “Walk Of A Gurl”,
and a cover of the Fall’s “Mere Psued Mag Ed”.

Also out in the UK now is “The Rat” single from
The Walkmen, b/w “Clementine”.
