The Veggie Tales franchise is growing. Massively. In leaps and bounds. I still haven't tuned in on a Saturday morning to catch it on NBC, probably because I haven't gotten to BED at that hour yet.

Five years ago Raw Materials, the classic debut from Mars Ill, was unleashed upon the unsuspecting masses, and recently, MC Manchild found six ADAT tapes while cleaning out his basement in Hotlanta that contained the original masters of the recording sessions in 2000, as well as three songs that didn't make the album and the instrumentals for both versions of the album that were released(Sphere and Uprok, respectively). Raw Materials: The Five-Year Anniversary Edition will be in stores real soon - the guys probably feel bad that Pro*Pain took two extra years to come out. [cmcentral]

Robert Randolph and his Family Band have a brand-new album coming October 10th called Colorblind. It will doubtless feature more lights-out slide guitar and amazing work from the bass and drums, and lead single 'Thrill Of It' has been tapped as the theme song for ABC's Saturday Night College Football.
