Album listened to this morning:
Jimmy Eat World Futures

Pitchfork had mentioned this recently, but MTV.com checks in with an article on . . And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead's next record.

Punknews.org has some good news about the Screeching Weasel back catalog:

They'll be putting out BoogadaBoogadaBoogada, followed by My Brain Hurts, Wiggle, Anthem For A New Tomorrow, How To Make Enemies and Irritate People and finally Kill The Musicians. Word is that Asian Man will also re-release The Riverdales self-titled debut and Phase Three full lenth. All the releases will be re-mastered with new artwork new liner notes by the band members, and other extras to be announced.

Rolling Stone.com has an article about a documentary on the late-great Jeff Buckley that recently premiered in New York. By the way, Buckley's Grace recently got reissued with a remastered version of the album, a bonus disc with b-sides and unreleased songs and a DVD featuring videos and interviews. More info and tracklisting is here.

Sweet Adeline has this nice picture up on their page celebrating the release of From a Basement on the Hill.
