Some scattered Elephant 6 news for you today:

You Ain't No Picasso's daily MP3 highlights Of Montreal's upcoming (January 2007) album Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? with the MP3 "She's a Rejector." The album itself has actually leaked on the web, although B.P. Helium has stated that the band is considering releasing a bonus 12" disc with additional songs when the vinyl is released alongside the CD, so there's lots of Of Montreal to come. Download "She's a Rejector" from YANP here.

Samantha Herald has written a concert review at Loose Record of a recent Minders and Marbles concert in Lexington that's well worth reading. Robert Schneider decided to open for Martyn Leaper's band at the last minute, and then played with Martyn on a couple of Minders songs, as well. You can read it here.

Tammy Ealom of Dressy Bessy has posted on MySpace that recording is well underway for the next DB album, to be released (tentatively) in summer 2007. They're also lining up some tour dates for Texas and the West Coast in November.

Speaking of tour dates, earlier this week I updated the dates for A Hawk and a Hacksaw's U.S. tour with Beirut. You can see them here.
