Scout Niblett recording and touring like crazy

If Scout Niblett doesn't have the coolest name around, I don't know what's what anymore. What is super cool is that Niblett is actually her last name (although Scout is a nickname). Niblett. Tell me that isn't fun to say.
Plenty to report on the Niblettster. She currently has a new three-song EP available entitled Just Do It/Dinosaur Egg. It was recorded in Memphis' legendary Sun Studios and contains a cover of the Cars classic "Just What I Needed." (Take a listen at her MySpace.) Next month, Niblett will be out on the road in support of up-and-coming singer songwriter St. Vincent. (Reference this previous post for those dates.) And Niblett's next full-length, This Fool Can Die Now, is scheduled for release October 9 on Beggars Banquet. Niblett recorded that one with Steve Albini, and the album features a guest appearance from Will Oldham.
