Broken Social Scene Frontman Readies Solo Debut

Via Billboard: *As expected, Broken Social Scene principal, Kevin Drew, will release a solo album, "Spirit If...," Sept. 18 via Arts & Crafts. The set will be the first in a series of releases from group members under the heading "Broken Social Scene Presents."

Drew's project features songs he's recorded over the past two years with BSS contributors Ohad Benchetrit and Charles Spearin. "Sometimes it sounds like a young man's U2," Drew told Billboard.com last summer. "Right now, it's a pretty stereotypical recording that needs to get away from me. I might throw it out there to see if some people want to beat it up a bit." Although the track list and guest artist roster for "Spirit If..." has yet to be finalized, BSS member Feist told Billboard this spring that she contributed vocals to the album.

"We wrote some songs together too, but not for my record or his," she said. "We don't know what they're for. They're not for Broken Social Scene. They're kind of more sweet and quiet." BSS member Brendan Canning is at work on the second volume of Broken Social Scene Presents, which is due early next year. In the fall, Drew, Canning, Justin Peroff and other collaborators will tour together to perform music from their respective projects.

Broken Social Scene Produce Score!

Well, this is exciting...

Via ChartAttack: Broken Social Scene have created the score for The Tracey Fragments, an upcoming motion picture starring Ellen Page. According to the band's website, the Bruce McDonald-directed film will have its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Fest; Feb. 8 to 18. The indie picture, which was reportedly filmed in a mere 14 days, is based on the novel of the same name by Maureen Medved. The book, published in 1998, concerns a 15-year-old girl's emotional world. McDonald completed filming last March and described the movie to Playback Magazine as "Degrassi meets Hendrix."

The films Wicker Park, Lie With Me, The Love Crimes Of Gillian Guess and the Academy Award-nominated have previously featured the band's songs. The group also scored Snow Cake, a film starring Sigourney Weaver and Carrie-Anne Moss. "That's the direction we're heading in," singer Kevin Drew said in an MTV interview last year. "When you have kids and homes, you don't want to make your living touring. Plus, I came into all this trying to do music for films."

How Much Would You Pay For BSS To Write A Song About You?

Appparently $810.

Various charities will be collecting $$ based on musican donations, thanks to Santa Cruz Forever.

Along with the BSS tune, Feist will sing your song with you for the right price, and Peaches will give you one of her used thongs! It seems like eBay has pulled that auction, but if you follow the link above you'll be re-directed if you were itching for a pair of her panties.

Something tells me that Peaches will raise the most $$ when all the auctions are completed....
