Does anyone know if that Pajo Misfits record every came out?  On his site, it mentioned it was coming out in January, but I haven't heard anything else about it.

I'd love to hear that, too.

This is still one of my favorite albums ever...nice to see all of those bonus tracks.

Sweet. That's my favorite Beck album by far.

Hmm:
"'Hard Islands' is the assured and confident new installment from 25 year old Nathan Fake, the Norfolk born and bred precocious young heir to the UK electronica
throne who has kept fans of fuzzy-edged synths and maximal acidic techno beats alike guessing ever since his debut release at the tender age of 19.

A six track long serious contender in the loudness wars, 'Hard Islands' sets up camp in that fuzzy middle ground between mini-album and EP that so many
of our alt-danceheroes are choosing to occupy in this post-physical format era, where each track in the complementary collection can also stand alone as
a hedonist's anthem in its own right. Easily as melodic and musically ambitious as any of his previous works, the 'HardIslands' selection nonetheless edges
towards the tougher end of electronica that is the usual domain of Warp and Rephlex stalwarts like Clark and Aphex Twin, whilst all the time never losing
sight of that acute awareness of what will work on the dancefloor that had already enabled young Mr Fake tick off many of the world's best clubs on his
touring itinerary by the time he had reached his mid-twenties."



And the new Dirty Projectors is just as good as expected.

In recent interviews, Devo has confirmed that they will be completing their new album.  The Studio Notes section of the November 27 issue of Rolling Stone stated that "Devo are working on their first album of new material since 1990's Smooth Noodle Maps. 'We have about 17 songs we're testing out," says frontman Mark Mothersbaugh. 'We've already been contacted by 20 producers - including Snoop Dogg and Fatboy Slim.'" Fall 2009 has been confirmed as a release date.

Devo announced in early 2009, that they would be performing at SXSW on March 20th, with a warmup show in Dallas on March 18th. At these shows, Devo performed a new stage show utilizing synchronized video, similar to the 1982 tour, new costumes, and three new songs: "Don't Shoot, I'm a Man!", "What We Do", and "Fresh". All of these songs included a video backdrop which the band performed in front of. Devo has also confirmed they will be performing at All Tomorrow's Parties on May 6th and 8th, with the May 6th performance featuring the band performing their first album, Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!, in its entirety. The May 8th performance is to be a "greatest hits" show, for the ATP "Fans Strike Back" event.

On Friday, April 10th, 2009, Devo debuted the music video for "Don't Shoot (I'm a Man)" on their website, through Vimeo.
