For those holding out for a new Blondie album, the wait is apparently almost over. Gibson has the story: New wave rockers Blondie have announced that they plan to release their ninth studio album in 2011. Titled Panic of Girls, the release was recorded last November and December in Woodstock, New York.

Drummer Clem Burke told Billboard.com that the album has more of a live feel. "We tried to make the recording process as organic as possible and tried to stay away from programming as much as we could, because [The Curse of Blondie] had a lot of programming on it," he said. "So in the spirit of Woodstock, we kept going in the studio and playing."

Burke also said that frontwoman Debbie Harry wrote most of the lyrics on the new album. Blondie have been playing some of the new songs while on tour this summer. "What I Heard," "The End" and "Mother" have found slots in the set list next to classics like "Heart of Glass" and "Call Me." - more on this story
