- Apparently, Eric Clapton's next album of original music is on its way this fall. However, it's not like he hasn't put out quality music since 2001. He had an album of Robert Johnson covers that was simply great.
- I caught the latest "You Hear it First" on MTV yesterday about a band called The Redwalls. I have to admit, I like what I heard. The band, which started out as a cover band, basically sounds like a 90s version of The Beatles. No kidding. Talk about retro - they've got a hip 50s/60s vibe to them. The album hits stores today, and I hope to get my hands on a copy soon.
- The bass player for Soul Asylum died from cancer on Friday. I guess jokes about buying "a ticket for a runaway train" would probably not be appropriate at this point. Apparently, the band had recorded a new album and was shopping it to labels.
- The White Stripes have announced the dates for their upcoming tour which will stop nowhere in North Carolina this fall.
- A double-CD live album of the Grateful Dead is in the works. I don't think the band will ever stop releasing concert albums. Not like that's a bad thing.
