Random Debris

Well, the classic Springsteen album Nebraska will be getting the tribute treatment, and with a hecll of a lineup: Vernon Reid, Me'Shell, and Lenny Kaye among what looks to be around 60 performers at a festival weekend of sorts.

Speaking of Reid, it looks like Sony/Epic Records is releasing another Living Colour best-of, called Everything is Possible. While it is a nice track listing and the inclusion of Flying from the latest record (on the Sanctuary label) is a nice touch, it does not look as well put together as the previous package, Pride. Pride has the 4 extant tracks from an aborted 4th album with Adrian Sherwood and Keith LeBlanc producing (the same team that worked on NIN's debut), which are all of amazing caliber, as well as a more balanced track list.

Speaking of Sherwood and LeBlanc (part of the On-U-Sound massive crew), it appears Little Annie (who has recorded for OUS and is an NYC based performance artist/writer/singer of sorts, having worked with dub, punk and avant-garde folks of various make and model along the way).

Bill Bruford has a pair of releases coming out next month. Both will most likely end up in my grubby little hands, as Bill really only works on projects worth listening to (at least since he vowed himself off of any future Yes albums).
