- I kind of stopped caring about Blink 182 sometime in high school (even though I've been posting about them), but this is actually a nice thing to hear. The reunited group plans on offering fans $20 tickets. The cost will include fees, taxes and free parking. Props, guys! [NME]
- Sigur Ros frontman Jón “Jónsi” Þór Birgisson has remixed Depeche Mode's "Come Back." The track will appear on Depeche Mode's upcoming single "Peace Out," and only the 7-inch vinyl release. [Sigur-Ros.co.uk]
- There's a fun Q&A with Regina Spektor over at SPIN. Check it out here! The songstress will release her next album, Far, on June 23. [SPIN]
- Pitchfork reports on an interesting venture by indie record stores. The Coalition of Independent Music Stores has launched ThinkIndie.com. The coalition issued the following statement about this online venture: "Each brick and mortar record store has its own homepage inside the site with its own recommendations, personality and local approach. Once a customer registers with the site, they are assigned to their local store and each time they make a purchase that store is rewarded." Pretty cool idea! Let's hope it can turn into a truly profitable venture. [Pitchfork]
Now I just have the image of bb Colin playing with Legos. I can just see the excitement in his eyes. I need help, sir. ;-)
