Tom, where are you on The Black Keys? My brother has been trying to get me on board with them for a couple years now and I could swear I've read something you've written on them. I'm thinking of giving their new disc a whirl?

New REM - well, so far, so good - what's with all these old timers turning out top drawer recordings & performances over the last couple of years? To name a few: REM, Zep, Cheap Trick, Tragically Hip.

Hi Glen / BCM, On behalf of Lost Highway Records, many thanks for plugging Van Morrison's new album and, if your readers want good quality, non-pirated, preview tracks, full versions of "That's Entrainment" and "Behind The Ritual" (along with album track samplers) are available for fans and bloggers to listen to (and link to) on Lost Highway's web-site. Up-to-the-minute info on Keep It Simple and Van's 2008 shows is, of course, also available on vanmorrison.com and myspace.com/vanmorrison and, for a limited period, you can still hear Van's exclusive BBC sessions and interview. Thanks again for your support. Regards, WEB SHERIFF

And besides, Saleski and TJ aren't the only guys round here who get vacation days as part of the benefits package... -Glen

Had some conflicts last week Mat -- something about this Springsteen guy being in my neck of the woods and all. But yeah, I'm back. Looks like the music industry finally decided to cooperate this week too. -Glen

Oh good, you're back. I was worried that you had decided the music industry wasn't releasing anything worth talking about anymore and gave up on this series.

Thanks for the link to my Stones review. I've heard a bit of In the Name of Love: Africa Celebrates U2 and I was really impressed with the couple tracks I heard. I may have to pick that one up. - Donald

Poi Dog Pondering is still around? Damn, I think I saw them at SXSW about 20 years ago.
