According to Sigur Rós' official website, the Icelandic ambient pop band have recently wandered back into their mythical studio to record a follow-up of the full-length nature to their wonderfully ambiguous 2002 release, ( ). The album is expected to be released in spring 2005, to be followed by a tour of Europe, North America, and perhaps some other Sigur Rós-friendly parts of the world. Possible titles include any unpronounceable shapes that do not resemble a toilet seat.

Arthur "Killer" Kane, bassist for the monumentally influential and recently reformed 70s glam rock kings The New York Dolls, died of complications from leukemia Tuesday night after entering the hospital under the impression that he was suffering from pneumonia.
It appears that the flaming lips are back into the studio. According to a post on their website, The Flaming Lips recently wrapped up a second studio session working on a follow-up to 2002's wildly popular (and pretty damn good) Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, and are planning on heading back soon to make good use of their unplanned downtime.
