[News] Download LCD Soundsystem's 'Shut Up and Play the Hits' Documentary

A month after LCD Soundsystem's concert film Shut Up and Play the Hits debuted for a one-night-only theatre screening, the documentary is now available to purchase digitally on iTunes. An important thing to note, though, the iTunes purchase will only nab you the documentary itself, while the three-disc physical release will include the documentary, the full concert and a handful of extras. The physical release will be out on DVD and Blu-ray on October 9th.

Check out the trailer for the documentary below.

[News] Azealia Banks Sets Firm Release Date for Debut LP

Azealia Banks had planned to release her debut LP Broke With Expensive Taste in September, but as her other releases have shown, the Harlem rapper is known for delays. Young Rapunzel announced on Twitter this past weekend that her debut full-length will be released on February 12th, 2013, adding: "I have ALOT of REALLY excitin ish happening in btwn! it will ALL make sense as these things start to unravel."

So there you have it. While it may be a bit disappointing, Banks surely has her reasons for the delay, and we're sure to see a follow-up to her 1991 EP and Fantasea mixtape in the coming months. To tide you over for the time being, why not replay her video for "Van Vogue"?

[News] Bradford Cox and Cole Alexander Revive Ghetto Cross Project

Four years ago, Bradford Cox (Atlas Sound, Deerhunter) and Cole Alexander (Black Lips) came together under the moniker Ghetto Cross, releasing a song titled "Dog Years". Since then, nothing else came of the collaboration, but, as Pitchfork reports, the pair are once again teaming up and reviving the Ghetto Cross project. To commemorate the reunion of the project, they've released a song titled "Still", which Cox explains "is about the relationship that develops between two young boys, one of whom is autistic and cannot talk, and the other who is an outcast and beaten by his emotionally manipulative father."

Cox and Alexander will release a full album later this fall, comprised of songs recorded by the two around the time Deerhunter released their 2009 album Rainwater Cassette Exchange.
