Shaping up to be a good spring/summer: 5 March 2010


New albums galore! This week features Aqualung's latest single, which will be featured on the forthcoming album "Magnetic North." Also, Belle & Sebastian are in the process of recording a new album, and will be touring later this summer. And of course, the new Gorillaz album comes out this Tuesday, but you can stream "Plastic Beach" in its entirely on NPR's website. The video for the first single, "Stylo," was just released, and features a car chase with Bruce Willis. It's probably the most bad-ass thing ever.

You may or may not have heard that the BBC is planning on shutting down 6 Music, the most alternative and eclectic of the Beeb's radio stations. In response, everyone from David Bowie to Lily Allen is releasing statements voicing their opposition. More details here.
