Let’s recap some music news that you all should know about.
- New Babybird album due out in early 2006. Go to the website to find out more information directly from Stephen’s mouth.
- According to ICE, Talking Heads’ reissues are going to be out in digipak format early next year. Of course, I’ll probably still end up paying the $119.98 for Brick over at Amazon.com. Wouldn’t you?
- XTC’s new box set contains two digital downloads of new songs. The Apple Box, which contains both Apple Venus albums and their home demo counterparts, will be available on 31 October from the Idea Records website. The price? The box set alone is only £13.61 (but if you buy the box set plus t-shirts, badge, and a special treat the price jumps to £42.54, which I don’t feel like paying…just yet).
- Billy Bragg has a new live album available for download from his website. I haven’t checked it out yet, but you should!
- The Sundays are still defunct, according to Wikipedia. That’s a shame, don’t you think?
- Speaking of box sets, that new Eurythmics box set is pretty hot, huh? But for £62.99, I’m going to have to wait until Christmas. Or never.
Never is a long, long time from now, isn’t it?
