I picked up my copy yesterday...SWEET! If you like Nirvana style alternative then you'll like Local H...if not then keep looking :) Just so you know, their 1998 cd PACK UP THE CATS, is one of the best cds of all time...It is in my top ten albums of all time! HERE COMES THE ZOO is not as good as CATS but hey I've only listen to it once! In your CD store check out the used bins...can usually pick up PACK UP THE CATS for cheap...if you dig the CATS then grab a copy of the ZOO too!!!

I just read an interesting article about how Weezer sent CD's with 4 songs from their upcoming album to radio stations along with a letter from the band. Naturally, the stations began playing these songs and now some of them are charting from airplay. Now Interscope (who owns Geffen, their label) is up in arms and telling the band to request that the stations not play the new songs until the label is ready to service the first single (which is one of the songs on the disc). The band had previously upset the label by posting demos of the entire album online. http://www.billboard.com/daily I find this hilarious. "Hey don't play the songs until WE want you to play the songs. And we only want you to play this ONE song." Just goes to show you how idiotic major labels can be. "Airplay? Oh my goodness NO! How can we possibly put an end to this!? We want to control what people hear, we don't want to leave it up to the band and the radio stations!" Just thought you'd get a kick of that.

I always loved Weezer for what they did for their fans! I mean, putting up the demos of 30 new songs is just wonderful, because, as we know, only 10 songs will make it onto the new album. And the rest would have been gone forever. In the recent interview with Justin, Justin said they had 80 songs from wich the record label chose the ones for the new album. 12 songs for the album, plus 10 - 12 for the b-sides. That makes about 50 - 60 songs we will NEVER HEAR! Kevin, can't we do something about this? Maybe you can get the label to sell CD's with the demo songs on them directly on the homepage? I for one would pay as much as I pay for a "normal" studio album for a demo-CD. I would pay even more, because demo songs (4-tracks) are better than the studio-versions, in my opinion. There must be something we can do to get these demos, can't we? I'd gladly pay 100 dollars for a CD with demos on it, and I guess a lot of other fans would do, too.

(It's under negotiation) Unfortunately, these dates clash with another tour... Might be able to make the Astoria though - since I'm not driving down to Cardiff that night. I always get confused when people talk about Wilco - we have the wonderful Wilco Johnson over here, ex Dr Feelgood, who is frequently mentioned by just his first name. For ages I thought they were one and the same.... Duh!!! Jane > I just noticed that Wilco will also be playing a few shows in the UK and > Europe in May. The dates, (courtesy of Pollstar), follow.
