We know we already told you about this, but we're going to tell you again, because British dance-punk news is almost as good as Pink Is the New Blog. Almost.

Moving on...Maxïmo Park will release "I Want You to Stay", the fourth single from their 2005 debut album A Certain Trigger, on February 20 via Warp in the UK. The single will be available on CD, as a download, and on two vinyl editions: turquoise and white.

Sprinkled throughout the releases are mixes of the cut by fellow Sunderland pals Field Music (with former Kenickie drummer Pete Gofton under his J Xaverre alias) and Jamie Lidell's Super_Collider partner Cristian Vogel. There's also a B-side that may or may not be about a b-list hotel chain.

You are going to be real sick of this song real soon.
