I assumed it was a gimme that the next Spoon record would be out on Merge, but the last thing I read made it sound as if it only “might probably” be on Merge. But whatever. They’re also saying now that it will “only maybe” be titled The Beast and Dragon are Adored, and may in fact actually be called Romeo’s Apprentice. (I know, I’m really stretching for Spoon news here).

Sally Crewe, who gave us 2003’s excellent Drive It Like You Stole It, has completed her recent move to the States (Austin, to be exact), and as such, is looking for, well, an entire new band:

- Drummer
- Bass player (ideally w/ backing vocals)
- Guitar player (ideally w/ backing vocals)
- Keyboard player

Give Sally a holler if you’ve got the skills.

I forgot to mention that the Futureheads‘ “Meantime” video is out. I can’t load the Windows Media version, but I can tell you that the Real Player version’s quality is horrendous. FWIW.

Did you know that there was a limited-edition 7″ box-set of the new Interpol material? Christ, man, good luck getting a complete set of that shit.
