Gustav evacuation

I will be evacuating from New Orleans some time tonight. I'll be back as soon as I can, from wherever I end up. Wish all of us along the Gulf Coast, good luck!

Update: Many problems with the evac. last night, so I'm home again, and will just try to ride it out, and hope for the best. Thanks for all of the best wishes!

More new album articles

Billboard, Pitchfork, and The Boston Herald have articles about the new album. (Thanks Austin and Kate)

New album article

The Guardian has an article about the new album, and claims that none of the singles will be included on the album. I'm guessing that they just say that because none of the b-sides or "Mix 13" a-sides will be included. Not that the four a-sides have been dropped. (Thanks Simon)
