- Portishead is back in the studio. While there is nothing to report on a new album they are working on a remix of ABBA's "SOS" for a new Tom Hiddleston film. Pitchfork has the story.
- One of my favorite Mac utilities is Bartender. Bartender helps manage and organize all the icons in your menu bar. Version 2 is out and provides full support for OS X El Capitan. Check out a mini review at iMore.
- The visual designer for the Gorillaz confirmed the rumors that they are currently working on a new album and it's due out in 2016. Check out some of the artwork over at Okayplayer.
- I'm not a huge fan of mashup style albums but the few I dig are put together quite creatively by Amerigo Gazaway. His latest album is a mashup of UGK x BB King and as the kids say it's "fire emoji". Free download on his Bampcamp site.
- Personally the novelty of Meow the Jewels has worn off. While for a great cause I can't get it into my daily rotation. Regardless, RTJ has dropped the first video from the album for "Oh My Darling (Don't Meow)" and it's as crazy as you would think. Check it out at The Fader.
- Jonny Greenwood recently sat down with a Russian radio station to discuss a variety of topics. Most important was the status of the next Radiohead album. Greenwood confirmed the album is done and they are currently planning the 2016 tour. Consequence of Sound has the story.
