I've mentioned before how Kula Shaker are more than just a guilty indulgence to me. Those guys are seriously underrated and are definitely one of my favorite bands to come out of the 90s. Until recently, it didn't look like they'd survived that decade, but they're really back now with some new songs and a small UK tour. Currently, they're playing with three of the original four members. As they mention in the interview on their site, "Jay [keyboards] sort of disappeared," although he's been sighted most recently jamming with the Gallaghers.
Yesterday they released a new iTunes-only EP, entitled Revenge of the King. They songs sound like classic Kula and are worth your $4. They're promising a new full-length album later this year, although that time frame may be optimistic since they still don't have any label stuff worked out. To celebrate the return of Crispian and Co, Drive Blind is posting it's first MP3 today. In the Kula madness these past couple of days, I found out that they covered one of my favorite Dylan songs, "Ballad of a Thin Man," on their pre-emptive posthumous best-of Kollected. It took a while to track it down, but I found a copy of the song and will post it here so you don't have to do the same mad searching. Rock out.

While I'm at it, I might as well let you sample the new EP, as well. So far, my favorite is the title track, but that might just be because it's the first. Still, it's worth seeking out the whole thing.
