- It might be hard to believe, but this September will mark the 20th anniversary of Nirvana‘s Nevermind. To celebrate, Universal will be re-issuing the album as a 4-CD, 1 DVD package that will include a good deal of unreleased tracks, outtakes, and the like. The DVD will contain an previously unreleased concert in its entirety.
- Portland folk group Blitzen Trapper have announced the release of their follow-up to last year’s Destroyer of the Void. American Goldwing will be released on September 13 via Sub Pop, and if you’re curious, take a look at the album’s trailer:
- Brooklyn lo-fi rockers Woods seem like they outdo themselves with every new release. Their new single “Find Them Empty” (not to be included on their forthcoming release Sun And Shade) is certainly no exception. Listen to the track via Pitchfork here.
- James Blake cannot be stopped! London label will be releasing another new single, “Order” b/w “Pain,” on July 11. For more info, click here.
- Here’s some video of Stephen Colbert making a pretty convincing argument for Jack White to use “Seven Nation Army” to sell yogurt:
- And finally, to Bon Iver, a.k.a. Justin Vernon, who looks like he is going to break into a new stratosphere this summer. He new self-titled release received a 9.5 rating from the usually stingy Pitchfork review staff, he recently appeared on the Colbert Report and Jimmy Fallon, and, most importantly, he has released a slew of upcoming tour dates. He’ll be playing the Paramount in Seattle on September 26, so save the date.
