Album News: Muse - The Resistance Tracklist

Not sure what the "+"s are for, because I found this on some French blog, but here's the reported tracklist. I'm really liking the idea of the Exogenesis Symphony, although it could well be some overindulgent nonsense. Hopefully not.

1. Uprising
2. Resistance
3. Undisclosed Desires
4. United States of Eurasia + Collateral Damage
5. Guiding Light
6. Unnatural Selection
7. Mk. Ultra
8. I Belong to You + Mon Coeur S'Ouvre A Ta Voix (My heart opens itself to your voice)
9. Exogenesis : Symphony Part I (Overture)
10. Exogenesis : Symphony Part II (Cross Pollination)
11. Exogenesis: Symphony Part III (Redemption)

Watch: Duckworth Lewis Method - Tower Records

Today marks the Irish release date of the Duckworth Lewis Method's debut album. This is an album I've been really excited about, and I am delighted that this day has finally come. It's available in all the usual record shops, Road Records, Tower Records, HMV, all of them really. Speaking of Tower Records, the band performed a nice intimate gig to promote the album yesterday (Peter from 2uibestow was in attendance, lucky bugger) and went down a storm. The new album is also being very well received. Today's Times and Guardian in the UK have given it glowing reviews. I highly recommend you buy it. It's the album of the summer. Ashes or no ashes.

Watch The Duckworth Lewis Method instore at Dublin's Tower Records:

Live: Super Extra Bonus Party at the Academy

Have I told you how excellent Night Horses is? I have, haven't I? I may even have harped on about it. 2009 is a great year all-round for Irish albums. Holy Roman Army, ASIWYFA, 202s have all released brilliant albums. And SEBP's new one is one of the best this year.

They'll be playing a headline show at Dublin's Academy on November 13th. Tickets are priced €17.50, and are on sale now.

Live: Pixies at the Olympia Sold Out

It didn't take long at all, but the Pixies' triumphant return to Dublin as sold out. In two minutes. All the tickets were gone by 9:02 this morning, much to the dismay of many people at home trying to purchase tickets on their computers.

They'll be playing the Olympia Theatre on October 1st and 2nd, but you'll have to check toutless.com or look for returns to have any chance of seeing them now.

They have no gig lined-up for the 3rd of October, so maybe they'll add another date before heading off to Scotland the following day.

Download: Oxegen 2009 Printable Timetable

Two members of the Oxegen forums have made some printer-friendly Excel spreadsheets of the stage times that you can download and print for this year's festival. They're really handy as you can print a few copies out and have them in your pocket on the day. You can also plan in advance who you're going to see and when. They're rapidshare files, but are quite small, so shouldn't upset your bandwidth!

Blitzen Trapper have a lot of Irish dates in their schedule as part of their upcoming European Tour.

Thursday 27 August – Vicar Street, Dublin w/ Wilco
Friday 28 August – Vicar Street, Dublin w/ Wilco
Monday 31 August – Auntie Annie's, Belfast
