Apparently, Metallica have a new album coming out in October. You will be able to find it at your local pharmacy right next the prunes.
Oh snap! Snoop Dogg is going to have none other than Lindsay Lohan collaborating on his new album. Pharell and Timbaland will be on it too, but that will probably work.
Incase you couldn't wait for the upcoming album, Florida's Underoath are set to release a live CD/DVD that comes out later this month.
Speaking of Underoath, most of their fans aren't old as Sub Pop Records (more famously known for putting out bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Sunny Day Real Estate, and The Postal Service), who turn 20 this year. In celebration of this, the label is having a limited run of Singles Club! Also, they are throwing a huge 3 day fest with a very very very rare show by Green River- the band that spawned Mudhoney and Pearl Jam and is generally known as being one of the earliest grunge bands. If you wore a flannel shirt in the 90's, this means something to you.
Beggar's Banquet is closing it doors. The label that brought many great bands over the years and most recently The National, is moving it's staff and roster over to it's parent 4AD, who have released the likes of Thom Yorke.
REM guitarist Peter Buck has recently stated his approach of making albums (like their newest effort Accelerate) has been far more successful than the likes of his respective bandmates Mike Mills and Michael Stipe. According to Buck (who also plays in the Minus 5), the band spent too much time in the studio "jamming". The evidence seems to be clear as their latest album debuted at number 2 on the charts rather than number 13... like their last album.
Everyone's favorite snaggle-toothed singer, Jewel, is apparently switching over from her newest incarnation of pop music to country. If that's your thing, I guess you might want to check it out.
Tina Turner is hitting road again. When she does, she'll turn to dust.
Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora is speculated to be the next rock star on VH1's Rock of Love. This show has as much to do about rock as chili burgers have to do with the Olsen Twins.
If anything could redeem VH1, it might be that Radiohead is going to be performing In Rainbows in it's entirety this weekend on air!
Millencolin is streaming their new album on suprise... myspace. Bet you didn't see that one coming, eh?
