Sublime Box
Universal reports: The Long Beach trio known as Sublime began with a gig on July 4th, 1988 that as legend tells ignited the infamous "Peninsula Riot." The chaos and excitement escalated over the next eight years from the backyards of Long Beach and 40 Oz. to Freedom to the national phenomenon of their breakthrough album, Sublime. Sadly, the massive success of Sublime came in the wake of the tragic and untimely death of singer-songwriter-guitartist Bradley Nowell. But the music lives on. Celebrating Sublime's legacy as one of the most influential bands of the '90s, the career-spanning multi-disc cd and dvd box set Everything Under the Sun will be released on November 14th, 2006 (Geffen/UMe/Gasoline Alley/Skunk) completing the band's discography and tying up loose ends for generations to come.[see full story for full tracklisting]- Click Here for the Full Story

Prince of Vegas?
TMZ reports: Sources tell TMZ that Prince is playing an invitation only, private event at Club Rio tonight [Tues] in Las Vegas -- marking the start of his taking up residence at the hotel as a permanent performer.

An Other Cup
Atlantic reports: The journey of Yusuf back to making music has taken 28 long years. The millions who bought the records he made as Cat Stevens back in the '60s and '70s always hoped that one day, the world would again hear his mellow voice and intimate, thought-provoking songs. There were times when they feared it would never happen. Now the long wait is finally over and those wishes have come true.

The path that led to his first collection of new songs since 1978 represents one of the most remarkable tales of our time. To say that An Other Cup picks up exactly where he left off would be to ignore the life-changing significance of the spiritual quest that has taken him from youthful pop singer to arguably the best-known and most widely respected humanitarian figure in British society today. His work with children devastated by war and his founding of schools throughout London has earned him a Nobel Peace Laureate. And yet listen to the songs and there is so much that is familiar. His voice still has the same rich, warm patina, he has lost none of his ability to conjure a memorable melody and his songwriting articulates our profound needs and emotions more eloquently than ever. Yusuf's album An Other Cup will be in stores November 14th. The single is now on iTunes but you can check out the video at the full story link. - Click Here for the Full Story
