Muse will be releasing their new album in September, titled “The Resistance”, and I bloody can’t wait! One of the tracks is called “The United States of Eurasia”, a reference to George Orwell’s classic, 1984.

We don’t actually know much about the album, other than it’s meant to contain an epic, 15 minute long ’symphonic monster’. This is meant to close the album in the form of 3 separate tracks.

Muselive is getting mega busy in anticipation of the album, and we’ve got some fun ideas lined up. Firstly, we’re hoping to integrate Spotify into the site, automatically turning references to Muse track names into Spotify URIs. Secondly, and more importantly, we’re going to be creating a live gig feed section of the website. We’ll be using twitter analytics to build up a picture of each gig, allowing our members to view the live setlist, comments, photos etc. from any gig which is in progress. It’s a bit more complicated than that, but I won’t bore you with the nitty gritties!

I’m still in love with Spotify, in fact I am now a subscriber. I get a strange warm, fuzzy feeling when listening to music legally - I highly recommend it! If Spotify enabled you to import local media files and play them using their software, I might die a happy Spotify-joy-induced death.
