A couple of today's good music news stories...
Despite recently taking themselves out of the gig circuit and reportedly selling off all of their equipment, Nine Inch Nails are heading back into the studio to work on new material for NIN and other fruitful side-projects. On official website NIN.com, Trent Reznor writes "2010 has a number of things planned including new material for Nine Inch Nails and something else that isn't Nine Inch Nails. I am in a state of rediscovery and reinvention that feels unfamiliar, unsure and exactly what I need." Hopefully the new record will be less confused than the brilliant, Reznor.
Indie lads, The Courteeners, are set to release a brand new single titled You Overdid It Doll on February 15th. Vocalist Liam Fray believes 2010 is the year for The Courteeners to take off and is they're 'stretching their wings for pastures new'. Before your think this could mean a hiatus for the Mancunian legends, think again; according to NME.com their forthcoming album Falcons is set for release on February 22nd 2010.
Matt Bellamy and co must be beaming today as Muse win the award for Best Art Vinyl of 2009 for the artwork in their latest record, The Resistance, designed by La Boca Design. Also in the running were Manic Street Preachers' Journal For Plague Lovers and Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown.
