Stone Roses To Reform
Madchester's finest The Stone Roses are re-forming for a summer tour.
At least 21 gigs have been planned for the UK and there are talks of a US date – possibly the Coachella Festival in California. The gigs will coincide with the re-release of the band’s self-titled debut album.
It first came out on March 13, 1989 and shot them to fame with hits including I Wanna Be Adored and I Am The Resurrection. It is regularly voted best album ever.
Singer Ian Brown, who has a solo career, was the only one not sure about re-forming. But he was persuaded by guitarist John Squire, bassist Mani and drummer Reni. A source said: “It’s taken a lot of time to get Ian to agree but he’s finally signed on the dotted line.
“The rest of the band were really up for it, especially when they realised the amount of money on the table.” Squire, who designed the album’s iconic cover, quit in 1996 amid rows with Ian. The pair are rumoured never to have spoken since.
Reni left the year before and Mani plays bass for Primal Scream, who he joined in 1996.
Last year Mani said he would love to do a reunion “before we are all fat and bald”.

New Bob Dylan Album Coming in April
Bob Dylan's last album, 2006's Modern Times, topped all kinds of critics' polls. Since then, we've seen a resurrection of Dylanology via stuff like I'm Not There, Todd Haynes' impressionistic Dylan biopic (and star-studded soundtrack), and the rarities collection Tell Tale Signs. So a new Bob Dylan album is a big deal, but don't expect him to announce it to great fanfare like, say, U2 or the Rolling Stones. That is not The Dylan Way.
As Rolling Stone reports and Dylan's publicist confirms, Bob Dylan will release his follow-up to Modern Times next month. Beyond that, details are characteristically scarce. The ten-song album has no title, release date (beyond "late April"), or cover just yet.
According to Rolling Stone, Dylan recorded the album after filmmaker Olivier Dahan requested a song for a movie. When Dylan finished that song, "Life Is Hard" (which will appear in the movie My Own Love Song, starring Renée Zellweger), he just kept recording. Fricke reports that Dylan produced the album under his Jack Frost pseudonym and that David Hidalgo of Los Lobos might play accordion on it.

Rolling Stone's David Fricke says... "it has a seductive border-cafe feel (courtesy of the accordion on every track) and an emphasis on struggling-love songs." Sample song titles: "I Feel a Change Coming On", "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'", "If You Ever Go to Houston", "This Dream of You", "My Wife's Home Town", "It's All Good". Sample lyric: "I'm listening to Billy Joe Shaver / And I'm reading James Joyce / Some people tell me I got the blood of the land in my voice." Yeah, sounds like a Bob Dylan album.
