-- Pitchfork will probably not give the next British Sea Power album our coveted U.2 rating, if only because U2 has never, as far as we know, composed a score for the 1934 film Man of Aran. On May 5, Rough Trade will release the band's Man of Aran soundtrack as a double-disc package. One disc will feature the re-scored movie on DVD, and the other will include the soundtrack on CD, just in case you want your BSP fix without getting it all tangled up with images of hardscrabble Depression-era Irish life. On April 23, the band will perform the score live to accompany the movie at the British Film Institute in London. They will do the same on April 18 at the Duke of Yorks Cinema in Brighton, England as well.-- The Kanye-approved Cleveland synth-rapper Kid Cudi will probaby not perform at any Reebok-sponsored events anytime soon. According to various reports, a sneaker-based dispute may have led to event security tasering Cudi at a Reebok party during NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix this past weekend. It was rumored that Cudi, who had been booked to perform at the event, wanted to wear Nikes onstage, and things got physical. Cudi himself disputes the cause of the fight in a blog post on his currently overloaded website, via HipHopDx: "It wasn't over me wearing Jordans. I arrived at the event in the most 'fugliest' Reeboks ever." Sponsors love talk like this! -- Midnight Masses is a new side project from ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead multi-instrumentalist Jason Reece and Dragons of Zynth bassist Autry Fulbright. They'll open for Trail of Dead on tour this spring, and T.O.D.'s Conrad Keely will produce their debut album alongside TV on the Radio bassist Gerard Smith. Pretty soon, every single cool-band sideman in Brooklyn will have something to do with this thing. -- Because nothing goes together like sludge-metal and comic books (and bong-rips, sold separately), the comic artist Brian Walsby has once again teamed up with Washington grunge titans the Melvins to release Manchild 4. The comic, Walby's fourth, is an illustrated diary that Walsby wrote when he was touring with the Melvins. Bifocal Media will release the book on April 7, and it'll come with a CD of live Melvins recordings. Half of the songs on the CD were recorded in Boston last year, but half of them were recorded at Berkeley's 's 924 Gilman Street Project in 1989, with Shirley Temple's daughter Lori Black on bass. Bifocal will only sell 3000 of these, so act fast. -- "Family", an exhibition of Devendra Banhart BFF Lauren Dukoff's photos will open at San Francisco's Eleanor Harwood Gallery on Friday, February 20, as part of the Noise Pop Festival. The show consists of Dukoff's pics of Banhart, as well as those of other freak-folk scene staples like Joanna Newsom, Bat for Lashes, Vetiver, Little Joy and Entrance. Banhart also contributed artwork to the exhibition. In July, Chronicle Books will release Family, a collection of Dukoff's photography.
