-- My man MCA's got a movie company like a billygoat: Oscilloscope Pictures, Beastie Boy Adam Yauch's film production and distribution company, has been on a pretty great roll lately. First the basketball documentary Gunnin' for That #1 Spot, which Yauch himself directed, turned out to be a whole lot of fun. Then they released the Michelle Williams/Will Oldham lost dog movie Wendy and Lucy, which is supposed to be really good and sad. And now Oscilloscope will release Stephen Kijak's 2007 documentary Scott Walker: 30 Century Man on DVD. As previously reported, the movie features the likes of David Bowie, Brian Eno, Radiohead, Johnny Marr, Damon Albarn, and Jarvis Cocker rhapsodizing about the legendary weirdo.

-- The CD is so totally dead. As previously reported, Mexican Summer is a new offshoot of Kemado that only offers music in two formats: limited-edition vinyl and digital downloads. They've already released records from the likes of Dungen, Marissa Nadler, Black Moth Super Rainbow and Nachtmystium. In May, they drop new 12" slabs (limited to 500 copies each) from four of the psych-rock underground's finest: Valet (False Face Society, featuring a cover of the Boris/Michio Kurihara tune "Rainbow"), Wooden Shjips (title TBD), the War on Drugs' Kurt Vile (God Is Saying This to You), and Little Girls (Thrills). In July, Mexican Summer plans to release a 12" from Real Estate and a 2xLP Bobby Beausoleil's band the Orkustra. Time to dust off that turntable, finally.

-- Hush, the third album from NY dream-poppers Asobi Seksu, gets its official release via Polyvinyl on February 17. But the music-download website Amie Street is offering the thing for just seven dollars for the coming week. Asobi Seksu also are currently in the middle of a massive tour.

-- Billboard reports that Buena Vista Social Club bassist and Cuban music OG Orlando "Cachaito" Lopez died yesterday, at the age of 76, of complications from prostate surgery.
