MUSE B-SIDES AVAILABLE FOR STREAMING

Two unreleased Muse tracks are available for streaming on the band’s PureVolume page (really, who still uses PureVolume? Whatever.). The songs, “Glorious” and “Crying Shame” were recorded for their 2006 masterpiece Black Holes and Revelations but didn’t make the final album cut.

Muse recently completed a quick US tour including a Lollapalooza headlining spot in Chicago and a nearly sold out show at New York’s Madison Square Garden (be sure to read our review). The tour inspired a brief spike in record sales, pushing Black Holes and Revelations back into the Top 200 at #181 over a year after the album’s initial release. With 4,061 units sold in the U.S. last week, the stateside total has reached 356,782.
