Mornin' friends. Lots of little music nuggets this morning, and since sharing is caring, here they are:

A local movie about porno—but not a local porno movie—The Auteur is now available for purchase online via Amazon or iTunes. The film's soundtrack features a slew of local artists, including Au, Laura Gibson, Norfolk & Western, Riddenpaa, The Shaky Hands, and tons more. All those bands and no wah-wah pedals?

Starfucker is growing, right in front of our very eyes. A trio no more, the band has added Keil Corcoran (Guidance Counselor, Flaspar) on drums and keyboards. The band also has a brand new EP, Dance Face, hitting the streets this May. The EP will contain a Cyndi Lauper cover (it better be "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough"), a remix courtesy of Strategy, and a few new songs as well. The band will debut their new member, and new songs, at their Valentine's show at the Wonder Ballroom.
