The vintage live collection, recorded by the BBC, was included in the 6-CD format of the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of YOSHIMI BATTLES THE PINK ROBOTS box set and will now be available on vinyl for the first time as a stand-alone release. The limited edition first-pressing of Live At The Forum is on pink vinyl.

British guitar band Bombay Bicycle Club are premiering “I Want To Be Your Only Pet,” the latest track from their forthcoming sixth studio album, My Big Day.

This eaten-all-the-candy-floss sugar rush of a show suffers from a generic soundtrack. But there's more than enough to keep the kids' occupied.
