1. Danish proggers Mew are beginning work on the follow-up to And the Glass Handed Kites, one of the best records of 2005. Long overdue, certainly. No word on whether J Mascis will reprise his vocal contributions to this latest record. Production duties fall to Rick Costey, who manned the boards on Interpol's latest (absolutely shit) and Franz Ferndinand's You Could Have It So Much Better (their debut certainly was so much better). These guys seem to get better with every release, so look forward to this one. Oh, and they KILL live.
2. Missouri popsmiths Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, due to release their second album April 8th, which follows the excellent Broom, are launching a tour this spring. Their date in San Francisco is at Rickshaw Stop on May 14th, with Oakland's own Port O'Brien opening.
