In celebration of Halloween, Bruce Springsteen has posted a new song and video on his site. Stereogum says he "sings the blues of an 18th century boy who grew hooves, a horse head, bat wings, and a forked tail, and won the Stanley Cup now haunts the Pine Barrens of southern Jersey." Spooky. Maybe this is his way of making up the cancellation of his usually decorated home in Rumson, N.J..

Paul Westerberg has released a new track called "Bored of Edukation," which is available through TuneCore and Amazon.com.

With the Nov. 4 presidential election looming and slowly becoming a reality (after what feels like an eternity of campaigning), Wilco has decided to take it upon itself to rally people to vote.

Mike Skinner likes to blog. Let's rephrase. Mike Skinner loves to blog. This is great, especially for hardcore Streets fans that can't get enough of his crazy stories about drum machines and gambling. However, it is often the case that we have no idea what he is talking about. Exhibit A:

"I made a demand earlier this week that I wouldn't allow anyone to take my photo in front of anything incorporating modern life...We ended up standing by a tree right by a main road. It's going to look great. Like it could have been a million years ago."

Todd Snider's birthday is Oct. 11, and he wants to give us a present.

A free download of his latest, Peace Queer, will be availible from Oct. 11-31 on his website.  The eight-track EP will be available in stores on October 14, pushed back from that Aug. 19 release date we told you about a bit ago.

Geezers need excitement, especially us geezers here at Paste. We're looking to get some of that with The Streets' latest, Everything is Borrowed. As usual, Mike Skinner refuses to stick to the same old thing and has taken a much different approach with this album, describing it as having "peaceful positive vibes."

We told you it was coming. Now the new Izza Kizza mixtape is finally here and ready for your eager ears.

The Pretenders will release a new album, Break Up the Concrete, on Sept. 23. Instant gratification, though, starts now in the form of MP3 downloads of every track on the album before the actual release. The trick is that only one track is available each week leading up to the album’s release date. So really, it's more like a drawn out progression of instant gratification over nearly three months. You'll live, though.

This fall, Mogwai fans will be inundated with new tunes from the Scottish post-rock stars. There’s the new album, The Hawk Is Howling, set to be released in America by Matador Records on Sept. 23. There’s also the three-song Batcat EP, available Sept. 8. Now, there’s the first single from Howling, “The Sun Smells Too Loud,” available online here and for download on the group’s MySpace page.

Check your pockets, champ. If you’ve got enough change to be a McDonald’s Dollar Menunaire, then you’ve got enough to buy Paul Westerberg’s latest release...twice.

You won't have to make that pilgrimage to Calexico's hometown of Tucson, Ariz. to hear the new single from the band's upcoming LP, Carried to Dust. Heck, you won't even have to go into outer space to catch an earful of that sublime Southwestern sound. No, dear reader, Paste has you covered.

When a band breaks out big, it's not uncommon to hear its members excitedly discuss the first time they heard their own song on the radio. So imagine the feelings the guys of Calexico must have had when they found out their song was played in space.

You Ain’t No Picasso has posted an MP3 of the new Ted Leo track “The World is in the Turlet” that recently premiered on Jersey City’s WFMU, having lovingly ganked it from the station’s forum. “You know, I used to tease my Georgia-raised dad for his occasional pronouncing the bathroom’s main feature as ‘turlet,’” YANP claims, but such dialect is actually more regional to almost anywhere but Georgia (urban dictionary claims Philly, Indiana and the Midwest, some websites say New Jersey or certain N.Y.C. boroughs, FYI).

Just to whet your EP anticipation, North Carolina grasspunks The Avett Brothers have released "Murder In The City," the first single from their upcoming The Second Gleam. Listen to it here:

Not only are two former Paste Bands of the Week, Bishop Allen and Evangelicals, about to embark on pretty intense, month-long, multi-continent tours, but they’re actually going to meet up at one point and play two shows together. Just another match made in Heaven by your friends at PasteMagazine.com. If we had any more foresight, we’d have sponsored the tours ourselves.

After much pain and strife, The Lovely Sparrows will release their new album, Bury the Cynics, July 8 via Abandoned Love and Rebel Group.
