Because we need a new thread, and because there's so much to talk about.

•That Radiohead band we hear so much about, they of the #1 spot on the US and UK charts? Not coming to Portland!

•Those domestic violence charges against Shins guitarist Marty Crandall and his now former girlfriend that you never read about here because we didn't want to get all tabloid-y? Dropped!

•The artwork for that upcoming Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks album Real Emotional Trash, out March 4th via Matador? Confirmed!

•That form of informational delivery where I ask a question, only to provide an answer with said information? Getting tired.

•North Carolina's Avett Brothers unveiled the new video for their song "Paranoia in Bb Major," today via Spinner. The band next plays Portland on April 10th at the Crystal Ballroom. They visited us in August.

Finally, the 2008s are on the way! A few new musical nuggets from upcoming releases for your enjoyment...

Thao Nguyen with the Get Down Stay Down: ► "Bag of Hammers"

The Helio Sequence: ►"Keep Your Eyes Ahead"

Kelley Stoltz: ►"Your Reverie"
