First I got the joyous announcement of the Magnetic Fields new forthcoming record, followed quickly by their upcoming Seattle tour dates. Tonight is the long-awaiting Jens Lekman show in Seattle.

And now.... I learn from Aversion that OHMYGOD NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS ARE PREPARING A NEW RECORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to the article:

Nick Cave isn't resting on his Grinderman laurels for long.

The rocker's put his side project, Grinderman, aside as he returns to his full-time gig, revealing he and the Bad Seeds will release Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! March 3 from Mute Records in the United Kingdom.

I'm not sure how more exciting musical news I can take. Any more of it and it's likely gonna send me into early labor...
