Band of Horses Covers The New Year

Oh, Pitchfork. The dry wit. The sarcastic tone. The unavoidable source of pertinent information. From the 'Fork, in regards to the latest O.C. mixtape:

"As previously reported, Lady Sovereign takes on the Sex Pistols' 'Pretty Vacant,' while Band of Horses do the New Year's 'The End's Not Near,' the M's do Clinic's 'Come Into Our Room,' Rogue Wave handle the Pixies' 'Debaser,' Pinback take a shot at Black Flag's 'Wasted,' Mates of State confront The O.C. theme song, Phantom Planet's 'California,' and a bunch of other bands destined to fill future record store bargain bins do some other stuff."

The release date is December 5, the label is Warner Brothers, the "future record store bargain bins" comment is unnecessary.
