AC/DC <3's WAL/MART

acdc Sure, you could probably give a damn. But, next fall Wal-Mart will be the exclusive one-stop shop to purchase the, no doubt groundbreaking, next AC/DC album... and say, a gun if you're in the mood.

This is the same company that has censored countless album covers due to "objectionable content" and the same band that crazy religious groups accused of having a name that really meant "Anti-Christ/Devil's Children." A match made in low-cost hell. (via Wall Street Journal)

Stream: New Deerhunter Music from Microcastle

Deerhunter Head over to Deerhunter's MySpace to get a taste of what's forthcoming from the band's third full-length, Microcastle. Some of you industrious cyberspace shoplifters may already have your grubby paws on the album as it leaked, months in advance, earlier this week. Having just completed the album in late April, the band is, justifiably, none too happy about this turn of events. No release date has been announced.

Radiohead Catalog Now Available on iTunes

Radiohead Tired of those clunky old Radiohead compact discs? They gather dust, get scratched, and take up space!!!

Well, not any more. No longer one of few big-name iTunes hold-outs, Radiohead (or EMI) has made their entire catalog (including that essential "Best Of" collection) available as DRM free files on the digital download powerhouse.

Now if we can just get Garth Brooks to join the party. Only then will the world be right. (via Billboard)

The quirk doesn't stop there, folks. Lucky number 6 will be entitled ALPHABUTT and according to a press release is "a collection of children's songs written by Dawson along with a number of her musical friends and their children." No doubt it's cute.

Video: Beach House - "Norway"

At the behest of a Norwegian television journalist, Beach House composed this familiarly solemn ode to the country while traveling on a train from Bergen to Oslo. When the band disembarked in Oslo they performed the song at the train station. This made all other Scandinavian countries jealous. (via Pitchfork)

Sigur Ros Unveil Album Details, Video, MP3

Sigur Ros Sigur Ros will follow-up 2005's Takk with Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust on June 24th via XL. Just in case you don't speak Icelandic that title translates to "With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly." Awesome, right? Well, it gets even awesomer!

You can stream lead-off track "Gobbledigook" below or, depending on how uptight your boss is, watch the NSFW Ryan McGinley directed video. Nudity aside, it's visually stunning and deserves the high-res treatment which you can find on the band's website along with a 320 kbps MP3.

Staff picked track of the day

"Recorded entirely under solar power," Brightblack Morning Light like things like tee-pees, headbands and most likely hallucinogenic drugs. More solar power to 'em. Their second album of slow motion hippie blues, Motion to Rejoin, is due September 23rd on Matador. [DOWNLOAD]

Featured Review

Consider Rook essential summer listening. Like your "Summer Reading" list, Rook isn't really "summer-y" at all. It's heavy, dense, dramatic and beautiful and dark. Four of those five adjectives actually DO apply to summer, come to think of it... - jimtarnation  [READ REVIEW]
