The Flaming Lips – ‘Embryonic’

‘Embryonic’ is the title of the upcoming twelfth studio album by Oklahoma experimental rock band The Flaming Lips set to be released on October 13th, 2009.  It will be the first double album to be released by the band, announced during an interview with the band’s frontman Wayne Coyne, “Somewhere along the way it occurred to me that we should do a double album… Just this idea that you can weave a couple of themes into there and you can sprawl a little bit.”  MGMT contributed to one song, and Karen O on more than one.

Bob Dylan – ‘Christmas In The Heart’

‘Christmas in the Heart’ is an upcoming record by Bob Dylan, to be released on October 13th, 2009. The singer-songwriter’s 34th studio album will feature a collection of well-regarded Christmas songs and its proceeds will go to various different charitable organizations both inside and outside the USA.  Feeding America will handle the money made from sales in the US alone while two other charities, both international, are expecting to use the album’s sales “to provide food during the holiday for millions in need”. Dylan himself commented on the sadness of world poverty and has said he aims to “bring some food security” with the assistance of the US charity.
