And with no time to waste, we have the first bunch of exciting news for 2009. Ok so it's only 2 bits but it's still pretty big.

First of all, Foals have been working hard on the new record after taking #1 on the highly prestigious Boy With A Coin Album chart. There are MP3's available from their myspace and early signs are just as encouraging as to be expected for a band that are finding it hard to hide their anger but are spacious and twiddly at heart.

And, Royksopp today confirmed details fo their follow up to 2005's The Understanding. 'Junior' will be released on 23rd March 2009 and will feature guest appearances by Lykke Li and Robyn. Excited much? Lykke Li seems to be unstoppable in the studio and the prospect of a Royksopp live show is something I cannot wait for.
