Ryan Adams' Stonehedge Show Called Off

Ryan Adams' date at the Salisbury International Arts Festival has been cancelled. Concert and Art Festival promoters are concerned about the draw being too large for this venue.

Essentially, it seems that Ryan Adams rocks too much for Stonehenge and they are worried about too many people showing up and messing the archaeological monument up...

They're probably right, it wouldn't be good for people to show up and etch their names into the rock with things like "The Guru Was Here."

No mention of a alternate site for the concert as of yet...

Lollapalooza Lineup Announced

This years lineup for Lollapalooza has been announced. The List of bands includes: (Click on the here to see the list of bands)

Also this years event will be "child friendly" with a Kidapalooza segment of the festival. Young children are awaiting the announcement of their lineup as it has not been announced yet. I mean it is Lollapalooza so they will have to go big... Will it be the Wiggles?? Oh and don't forget to visit the "Rock and Roll Petting Zoo" while you are there. The kicker is the Kidapalooza part will be free for children 10 years and under.

Noel Gallagher Solo Project / Oasis' Next Album

Noel has been quoted in the NME about the idea of a solo album. Finally...

"I've actually got a backlog of songs that are slowly building up. The thing about a solo record is the time to do one is between Oasis world tours because you'd have a good couple of years.

"But it takes me so long to write the songs that eventually I run out of time (before Oasis begins again), but I've got a backlog now of about four or five songs which are probably too far in the past as far as the band in concerned, but which could work on my record... it's coming."

Also, Noel weighed in on Oasis' next album:

"The next one in theory is already fucking written. I've got eight songs that I'm pretty happy with. I think Liam's got one or two that he thinks are brilliant. We're waiting for Gem and Andy. It's just a case of sitting down and saying, 'When do we want to do this?'"

Its great to finally see the gears are set in motion for Noel's solo album even if it is just a dream for now...

Also, funny how he speaks of Liam's songs as only Liam thinks they are brilliant. Funny stuff...

Should be a good couple years ahead for the brothers Gallagher...

It is really good to hear that Mark Lanegan will be involved with the new album. After the way things ended between Mark and Josh Homme after last tour, I honestly thought that was it for the two. I can't wait to hear some more of their collaborations in the near future...
