There's been a flurry of BRMC press already and the album hasn't even been released yet! Here are some new interviews to check out, including a misquoted Peter Hayes on the cons of reading too much. That one from GigWise seems like a smear campaign to make him look stupid. It almost worked, as even a few fans started posting long treatises on the importance of literature. I don't think Peter ever dissed literature, I think he was just saying you can't just live vicariously through books. Anyways, there's lots of interesting info in these articles, including a story about how Robert's lyric book was stolen after his apartment was broken into and how he had to improvise the words to American X.

Listen to BRMC's new album Baby 81 now!
I'm beating everyone over the head with all my BRMC info, but I know you love it. First, an interview from Artist Direct:

Guitarist/singer Peter Hayes talks about keeping your swagger and not selling out

Here's a link to a track by track description of Baby 81 by Peter Hayes: http://www.nme.com/artists/black-rebel-motorcycle-club/media/530
It's also up on BRMC's MySpace profile, so you can listen to it and add a new song to your profile!
Also, Newbury Comics is giving away a free autographed booklet with purchase of Baby 81. I already pre-ordered the limited edition from them and the Japanese edition from CD Japan. I also paid the extra $10 to Ducat King for the autographed booklet at the House of Blues San Diego. I wonder if pre-ordering a regular edition would be overkill. I ended up getting 3 versions of Howl, so why not 3 versions of Baby 81?
And lastly, for anyone interested in some good Swedish bands, check out Labrador.se for a bunch of cool bands like The Legends, Club 8, Acid House Kings, and the Radio Dept.!

The new cover of Baby 81 by BRMC
This new album cover is really cool, and kind of surprising since there was another cover being used all over the interweb to promote the album's release. I'm guessing the photography is by Tessa Angus, who did most of BRMC's promotional photographs.
