If you haven’t been checking on Spoon’s website over the past three years or so, you missed out on quite a few outtakes. Well, Spoon felt bad about that, but not that bad as they are now selling those tracks on a CD or digital download as Spoon Bonus Tracks 2008-2009 (Tracks Below). Recommended for those who wish “You Got Your Cherry Bomb” had more country flava. Plus, everything is 10% off for the holidays, including that Spoon-branded prayer candle for those difficult to shop for devout hipsters.

Take a look at the image above of Wingman and tell me, what isn’t there to like? You’ve got records, comics, skateboards, and pizza. It is all good stuff and makes its way into the list of the Leeds, UK group’s list of influences as well as the subject matter of their solidly catchy songs.
The trio is going to be releasing their first single this September as the kick-off release of Fear & Records‘s new collection of limited edition singles. The series of releases which will feature ten bands over the next six months doesn’t just focus on music, but photographers as well.
Each limited run of 100 CDs will include a cover focused on a photograph and some of the discs in the collection will include hand-numbered Polaroids with an exhibition featuring the photos slated to take place at the close of the project with live performances from the bands.
The Futureheads have scheduled a brief set of West Coast tour dates. These dates follow their visit to the East Coast back in June in support of their release The Chaos which came out on Dovecote Records.

Leading up to their fifth studio album, Sour Notebook, Marmoset are releasing a new single “Doo Wop” with b-side “She’s Wearing Rings” on Joyful Noise Recordings. As should be clear based on the above image and post title, the single is going to be made available on cassette and will be available in a limited run of 100 copies hand-numbered by the band.
In addition to the cassette format, the two songs will be mad available digitally for free. In fact, we have both tracks available for you to download below and you can always get them directly from Joyful Noise.
