Electro-psychedelic-whatever duo MGMT posted a new track from upcoming album “Congratulations” on its website today (yesterday? last week? who knows…). It’s called “Flash Delirium,” it’s not terrible, and it’s available for download. The album drops April 13, and “Flash Delirium” is listed as track 4. Dig in.

For a country with a population just more than 300,000, Icelandic culture sure understands the arts. So while the Taste of Iceland hits Boston on Thursday with the promise of more puffin meat than our city has ever seen, we’re also excited for the musical side of the week-long fest. After all, this is the land of Sigur Ros, Bjork and Gus Gus.

So while we’ve noted stuff like experimental-pop maven Mugison at the Middle East on Sunday (with Shore Leave, free, 9 p.m.) and Boston resident DJ Baldur at the Middlesex Lounge’s Make it New techno night on Thursday (9 p.m., free), we’re become slightly enraptured by Olof Arnalds.

The Reykjavik-based indie-folk singer, with a voice Vanity Fair called “ethereal,” hits T.T. The Bear’s Place in Cambridge for a free early show on Friday. Doors are at 6 p.m., it’s first-come, first enter, and once T.T.’s hits capacity, well that’s it. Could be one of those “were you there?”-type events. (Goth night X-Mortis follows at 9 p.m., but that costs $5… and your soul).

Here’s a preview of Arnalds:

And if you don’t know, now you know. Biggie went down 13 years ago tomorrow.

Some details on Saturday’s grand opening party at Royale are starting to leak out. That pretty-faced heartthrob from power-pop ground All-American Rejects – apparently his name is Tyson Ritter! – will provide the live tunes, while DJ Sizzahands of the New York-based Crooklyn Clan and DJ Beyonder of local crew Bladerunners will drop the beats.

Hotline spies say the former Roxy Nightclub space on Tremont Street will cater to more of the mainstream Boston nightlife crowd, and a hit radio station-sponsored Top 40 dance party will anchor the weekend entertainment. But Hotline is also catching wind of some epic monthly underground electro parties bound to get everyone all sweaty, so hopefully there’s some of that to counter the “Jersey Shore” cameos and faint stench of that old Roxy clientele.

Either way, Royale has our attention, and not just because of that fancy new hardwood floor…

A few weeks back we posted the first ‘Runaways’ movie trailer, and here’s a second teaser now making the rounds on the Interwebs. Not sure how “new” it is, but who cares — it’s pretty rad and we can’t wait for the April 9 release.
