Just in time for the haze of summer, Galaxie 500 are re-releasing their three brilliantly dreamy studio records on vinyl. Today, On Fire and This Is Our Music have all been remastered for these reissues, and each vinyl copy comes with a high-quality digital download of the album, complete with bonus tracks and videos. You can order these classic records directly from the band, and each will run you about $25, or you can pick up all three for $70. And, for the super fans, if you throw in $80, you get all three records and a cool shirt. Not a bad deal at all, considering the downloads and extras included. So quit getting frustrated by bidding wars on eBay, and go the Galaxie 500 online store, fierybreeze.com to pick these up directly from Dean Wareham and company. All vinyl orders placed will ship on July 6.

Rare Lennon Footage
A federal judge has ruled that Yoko Ono is the copyright holder of rare footage of John Lennon and his family in London c.1970. The judge refused to reinstate a lawsuit brought by World Wide Video LLC in March of 2008 that alleged Ono had interfered with a planned film they were making by blocking the use of the film.
The original footage was shot by Anthony Cox, Ono's husband at the time and contained over 10-hours of film of Lennon and his family at their English estate. World Wide Video was going to use it in their film 3 Days in the Life.

Sir Paul, Dylan A No Go
Paul McCartney told the Daily Telegraph that he has no plans for a collaboration with Bob Dylan. "That's a newspaper thing. He just said some very complimentary things about me in some interviews and I love him.
"I think he's a great poet and writer so I've always admired him. I don't rule it out and I admire him. But we're not the kind of people who would ring each other up."
