Worry about it later and get pumped in the present, because the Futureheads just unveiled a slew of U.S. tour dates. The Sunderland quartet will follow up two September Japanese gigs with a full-blown trek through the States next month.

But that's not all you'll hear from the 'heads in '06. Or vox/guitar man Ross Millard, anyway, as he recently recorded a track with fellow UK-mates Yourcodenameis:milo. The song, "I Remember the Summer Isles", is one of 11 star-studded numbers on YCNI:M's upcoming release, Print Is Dead Vol. 1, due via V2 on November 6 overseas. Other contributors include Bloc Party's Gordon Moakes, the Automatic, Tom Vek, Field Music, Maximo Park's Lukas Wooller, and more. YCNI:M will stream one song per week on their MySpace leading up to Print Is Dead's release. A tracklisting can be found after the jump.

So now you're familiar with Yourcodenameis:milo's taste in music, but what about the Futureheads' MP3 collection? According to the band's recently revealed iTunes celebrity playlist, At the Drive-In, Vashti Bunyan, Fleetwood Mac, Prince, Tom Waits, and more are all on it.
