Pitchfork

"LDN" was the first track most of us heard from Lily Allen's recently released (in the UK), Pitchfork-recommended Alright, Still, and aside from its blog popularity, this is probably because it was, technically, the first single from the album. But that first pressing was limited to 500 copies on 7" vinyl, an amount and format that left the majority of us out in the cold.

Thankfully, Allen is throwing a bone to those of us who didn't hop on the "LDN" train the first time around by releasing it again, this time on CD as well. The single comes out September 25 in CD and 7" formats. One version of the CD single will include "LDN", a cover of the Kooks' "Naive", the "LDN" Warbox Original Dub, and the song's video. The other CD single version and the 7" will feature granny-dissing favorite "Nan You're a Window Shopper" as a B-side.

A plethora of remixes and a live version of "LDN" (including the aforementioned Warbox Original Dub, the Wookie Remix, the Switch Remix, the South Rakka Remix, and a Live at Bush Hall version) will also see digital release shortly, but if you'd rather try your own hand at an "LDN" remix, Allen is holding a contest for you to prove your mixing mettle. She's made the raw pieces of the song available to fans via her website, so work your magic, and Lily might just reward you with "a spanking new pair of Lily's self-styled exclusive Nike IDs," according to her website. So you may not be able to get into her pants, but at least you can get into her shoes.

Finally, Allen will support New York's Scissor Sisters on their November tour of the UK. Don't forget that she also has her own previously reported dates (including a handful in North America) in October.
