-- Dntel-- aka Jimmy Tamborello aka Jimmy Figurine aka the other dude in the Postal Service-- is cleaning out his closet. His new/old three-disc set Early Works for Me If It Works For You II hits April 14 via Phthalo. It features the first two Dntel albums, 1998's Early Works for Me If It Works for You and 1999's Something Always Goes Wrong, along with a bonus disc filled with previously unreleased material. Get ready to get lulled!

-- Fat Possum has struck a licensing deal with classic Memphis soul imprint Hi Records. What does this mean to you? How about remastered versions of three Al Green essentials-- Greatest Hits, I'm Still In Love With You, and Let's Stay Together-- all due March 31. It's about damn time. The Hi/Fat Possum brand is also working on new versions of Green's Gets Next to You, The Belle Album and Livin' for You, along with LPs by Otis Clay, Ann Peebles, Syl Johnson, O.V. Wright, and Willie Mitchell.

-- After last year's Love Will Reign Supreme covers EP charmed amorous bloggers all over the web, Mobius Band are back at it with Empire of Love, featuring revamped takes on Kanye's "Say You Will" and Tom Petty's "You Don't Know How It Feels" among other lovelorn tunes. Who needs a dozen roses when you have these guys doing TV on the Radio?! Also: it's free.

-- From the ashes of the Blood Brothers and Pretty Girls Make Graves came Jaguar Love, whose 2008 debut album got a decent 6.8 grade on this very website. The trio is heading out on the road to support Nine Inch Nails in Australia later this month before coming back to the good old U.S.A. to tour with Ok Go in March. Hey, remember that Ok Go video with the dancing and treadmills? Good times.
