That Bizkit Limp |
The Gauntlet reports: In a recent post, Fred
Durst (Limp Bizkit) discussed the followup to last years flop "The Unquestionable
Truth part 1".
"TUT2 will have songs that me and Ross
Robinson produced with Wes on guitar as well as songs that do not have
Wes on guitar. It will be a full length album and not an EP. It will be
on the more aggressive side of nature and appeal to those who feed off
of the heavier side of Limp Bizkit.... As for a tour and touring. Absolutely.
I am directing my first motion picture called "The Education of Charlie
Banks" right now and as soon as I finish that we will hit the road. [see

| Erasure
Unplugged |
Press Release reports: Erasure’s bold new
acoustic album, Union Street, will be in stores on April 18th, with a US
tour slated for kickoff on May 6th at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium (formerly
the Grand Ole Opry) On their brand new album Union Street, Erasure have
delivered their biggest surprise yet. In a boldly experimental step for
an electronic band, they have unplugged themselves, bringing new soulful
new depths and acoustic, maybe even a touch of country-western, textures
to 11 songs spanning their entire career. The album is dominated by revamped
album tracks and born-again B-sides that the band felt best suited an extreme
makeover. All sound refreshingly different to their original blueprints.
“It was great going back through those songs, some of which I hadn't listened
to properly since we made them,” Vince Clarke recalls. "Suddenly you heard
some of the naivety that was in there in the first place."[see full story

November Triple |
Press Release reports: Drive-Thru Record’s
recording artist THE EARLY NOVEMBER will release a triple-disc titled The
Mechanic, The Mother, And The Path on July 11, 2006.
This beautifully orchestrated release is
the carefully thought out endeavor of EARLY NOVEMBER front man Ace Enders
and band mates Jeff Kummer (drums), Sergio Anello (bass), Joe Marro (guitar),
and Bill Lugg (guitar). Produced by Chris Badami (The Starting Line, Midtown),
the albums were recorded in the band’s home state of New Jersey. The Mechanic
disc highlights the group’s heavier rock sound while The Mother leans towards
the acoustic, mellower side. The Path is a soundtrack complete with dialogue
and characters both of which intermingle amongst the first two CDs, thus
tying the three discs together. The story arc involves a young man who
clashes with his over bearing father. The teenage character leaves his
family with the girl he loves, setting out to forge a new path, one that
avoids the trappings that ensnared his conventional parents. Upon having
his own child, he swears he won’t make the same mistakes his father did.
The cycle of life brings him full circle as his own son begins to rebel
against him, and he finds himself slowly becoming like his father, a fate
he tried so hard to escape. [see full story for more]-

lang Reintarnation |
Special Ops reports: k.d. lang’s new album
– Reintarnation, in stores April 25th.
Spanning 1984-1993, Reintarnation gathers
20 alt-country classics from k.d. lang's early years. Compiled by lang
and her longtime collaborator Ben Mink, it features "Pay Dirt," "Big Boned
Gal," and the previously unreleased "Changed My Mind." Reintarnation—named
after a neologism defined by The Washington Post as “coming back to life
as a hillbilly”— focuses on the first decade of her recording career, when
she broke ground as a singular kind of country singer who channeled the
genre’s canon while subverting a number of its conventions. The early lang
catalogue was dubbed “cowpunk” and arguably paved the way for artists who
in more recent years have appropriated country music, garnering a mix of
support and the suspicion of Nashville’s Music Row, and reaching a much
broader audience. [see full story for a listening party]-
