The Raveonettes' New One

Denmark's redoubtable duo The Raveonettes have made available a free track from their forthcoming (24 April) EP, Into The Night. You might be wondering if it's worth an email address. The answer is "No." It's worth much, much more. Hear samples here.

Bonus track to Danish duo's October Vice Records release,

Realizing, though, that some of you might not enjoy the retrofitting process, we hereby post all the free and legals we've got and strongly encourage you to visit eMusic for more. It's gonna sound kinda trite, but we don't care: Rave on.

We b itchy: Teenage Fanclub, Raveonettes, World Record, Electric President, Buddyrevelles, Warlocks

Boldly (but not too) came forth the word from on high: "Let there be tunes." And behold, in some mysteriousish way but dimly understood, there were tunes. And it was good, as were the tunes, in the opinion of some, mostly humans. But the people did chafe and itch with an itch that knew no scratch and did say, "Dude, keep writing intros such as this and we will no longer visit your blog." And so, chastened and mortified and himself feeling, albeit slightly, the lash of itch, the dude wrote no further intros such as this and played gaily with the anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals prior to feasting thereon.
