And I been told once aging That the Tigers have hit a homer agian out of wrigley!

Since it so slow news day around the Detroit area today it think should go into you guess it the best indie news outside the 313. Early

According to a Billboard.com interview with Air member JB Dunckel, the French duo is almost done with its upcoming studio album, which is slated for an early 2007 release on Astralwerks, so in the mean time Dunckel will put out his own solo work September 19 also from astralwerks and it will gounder the name Darkel.

Now he told Billboard.com that the name was inspired by the black keys on a piano: "Most of the tracks contain some piano, and the chords are on the black keys most of the time, because I like the sound of that. Also, it was made very late at night. You have this attraction for the blackness, the space."

For Darkel, Dunckel recruited a few friends to cover bass and "a little bit of guitar." The artist handles vocals for eight out of the album's ten tracks. Its other two songs are "sort of" instrumentals, Dunckel told Billboard.com: "Most of the instruments are acoustic, but I like to treat and process them."

The tracklist includes "TV Destroy," a number about "destroying your TV when it's getting on your nerves," "My Own Sun," which focuses on Dunckel's belief that "inside your heart you have your own sun shining," (puke!) and more. The full tracklisting is as follows:

01 Be My Friend
02 At the End of the Sky
03 TV Destroy
04 Some Men
05 My Own Sun
06 Pearl
07 Earth
08 Beautiful Woman
09 How Brave You Are
10 Bathroom Spirit

as for the new Air CD in 2007 he told billboard.com "It's another direction, for sure. It's different, but it's Air. We like to change all the time. If we don't change our sound, we'll be dead. People who like our music like to discover new things. They're curious. They have some cultural musical background also, so they want to be surprised."

The record features several guest musicians, none of which have been announced at this point in time.

Air last CD was the well-recived 2004's Talkie Walkie.

there will be a DVD on the late Joe Strummer of the Clash, The 2004 documentary Let's Rock Again! will be out on june 27 it Chronicles the last 18 months of Strummer life which include touring of what turn out to be his last alblum Globe a go-go in 2001, but this DVD will have no extra what so ever as it shine a light of one of the ture legond of rock ever.

Chick here to see the trailer.

I wasn't supposed to tell you, but, oh well, one person won't hurt. The Gossip are set to release an EP, GSSP RMX, August 22 as the second single from their Kill Rock Stars January LP, Standing In The Way Of Control. The EP will hold the original version of the single, "Listen Up," as well as three separate remixes of the song by Arthur Baker, known for his work with Afrika Bambaataa and New Order, and DJs MSTRKRFT and A Touch Of Class. In addition to these juicy reworkings, the EP will feature Le Tigre’s remix of "Standing In The Way Of Control" and a sultry cover of Aaliyah’s redoubtable "Are U That Somebody?" which is currently available on the band’s MySpace page. In other news, the band is currently touring around Europe.

Pixies frontman Frank Black will headline a solo tour and open for Foo Fighters on a handful of dates to support his new album, Fast Man Raider Man. This is the first solo tour that Black has undertaken since 1995. He is currently in Europe playing the festival circuit with the Pixies. In a press release, Black admitted to being excited: "I like doing solo shows, it's a very intense and personal experience, very different from playing with a band," he said. "I like the idea that I don't have to 'follow the beat,' that I can pull the songs a part a little bit, change the set right there on stage if I want. And playing theatres is the best kind of venue to see a concert - everyone's sitting down, relaxed, and ready to be entertained." The tour will be quite the summer vacation for his family, as they will be joining him for its entirety. Black said, "The kids are too young for me to put them to work as roadies." As previously reported, Fast Man Raider Man was produced by Jon Tiven and was recorded over a two-year period.
