Did you miss Tommy, too?; New album

Thanks to thunderstorms last night, I missed the first two episodes of "Tommy Lee Goes to College."

Thanks to VH1, I'll have a chance to see them again.

This weekend, VH1 will be replaying the episodes, in case you missed them.

I'm interested more in seeing the reactions of college kids to seeing Tommy on their campus, to how Tommy reacts to being at college.

Though I imagine the scenes of Tommy trying out for the school band should be pretty entertaining.

Tommyland: The Ride
If you saw Tommy Lee's documentary a while back about his last solo album, you'll know that he went through a lot of struggles with his record label.

He didn't like the way he was promoted or the album was supported.

So it's no surprise that the new album is released without a record label or major distributor.

Lee is using Handleman as a distribution source and TL Education Services, Inc. as the imprint.

WOW - What a smart marketing idea. Seriously.

Lee is doing it himself, and the record is already gold thanks to high pre-sales - he's got the support of the successful Motley Crue reunion tour, his autobiography and his new TV show.

On the back of the album is a note: "I would like to personally thank all the major labels for having absolutely nothing to do with the recording, production and distribution of this record."

This guy cracks me up...

Coming Soon

I'm sad to say the Musical Garbage Can will be leaving GoTriad on or about March 23. It will go back to its original home at Blogspot here. Thank you for your continued support!
