Cold Turkey Leftovers

Hey everyone! Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope as you are all recovering from your annual tryptophan overdose, that you have done a better job keeping up on the music scene than I have.

Never-the-less, I do have some news for everyone.  First up - our metal friends.

Love and Death
Everyone should know the name Brian "Head" Welsh by now.  If you don't, you've been living under a rock.... a very large, heavy rock.  After a successful solo career - post Korn - the guitarist/singer has taken on a new project on called, Love and Death.  "Head" and the gang of Love and Death have already put out their first album on Nov. 19th as well.  You can find Between Here & Lost on iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify.  You can also check out their first video and get more information by clicking here.



Welcome back Finch!
On to some very exciting news.... especially if you're me.  Ladies and gentlemen, Finch is coming back!!  The band has released information about a show in London scheduled for March of 2013.  The reunion is happening in honor of the anniversary of What It Is To Burn, the band's first major label release.  The album first came out in March of 2002 boasting a great sound and fantastic producing by Mark Trombino.  Get more information about the show from the folks at Rocksound.



Must they own everything?
Of course you can't have Thanksgiving leftovers without dipping into some pie - specifically Apple (Okay that was a bad segue).  In any case, Apple has announced that they are going to launch an online radio in 2013.  The mega-corporation just can't seem to get their fingers in enough pies, and heaven forbid they let Pandora have all the fun. There's plenty of backlashing and corporate fighting to go around. Bloomberg has the full story.





Russell and Phillips
The last bit of news I have comes from an unlikely source.  Adam Russell and Ryan Phillips, of Story of the Year, have started a campaign to make a documentary film called Who Killed (or Saved) the Music Industry.  The film is set to interview artists, producers, and music moguls for stories, reasons, questions, and answers on the last decade in the music business.  You can donate to the project and check out the Facebook page for the film by following the links on AP News.

 
I apologize for the poorly photoshopped photo of the guys... I didn't do it.
