Recommends: Grinderman - Bellringer Blues (Nick Zinner Remix)

Late last year after releasing two great albums, Grinderman announced their decision to call it quits. Fans took solace in the knowledge that the members were highly likely to keep making music in their various other projects including Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and the Dirty Three - and maybe in the future hear more Grinderman adventures. (When the band pulled up stumps they jokingly said something about seeing everyone in 10 years for a come back tour.)

Then, this remix surfaced, with the Yeah Yeah Yeah's talented Nick Zinner taking on remix duties. It's a meeting of creative greats. There's apparently a whole remix album on the way...

Recommends: Karen O in 'Psycho Opera'

We're very intrigued by the news that Yeah Yeah Yeahs' front woman Karen O will appear in a 'psycho opera' to be staged at St Ann's Warehouse in DUMBO, New York, this October 13-16. Directed by novelist/playwriter Adam Rapp, we sure can't wait to see it.

This performance is part of the Creators Project and will include a series of other shows including 'Life on Mars Revisited', a remix project Barney Clay (who made the YYYs video for Zero) has made using photographer Mick Rock's footage of David Bowie.

Also in the series is a collaboration between director Jonathan Glazer and J Spaceman - a physical interpretation of Spiritualized's Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating in Space. Check out the videos from their installation at Coachella below.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the New York-based three-piece led by show-stopping siren Karen O, swept the early noughties rock revival floor clean with a self-titled five-song EP which was soon followed by their debut album Fever to Tell.
