Read More Do not fear! Adjágas are touring the UK this summer and I will be catching them at the Bestival later in the year so I hope they still have some yoiking in them.

Here is what's happening:

THE CURE
www.thecure.com
You may, or may not, remember how we tried (and failed) to do a live podcast from Ryan at Bestival. We gave it a good college try, but apparently cell phone reception on the wee island is pretty awful.
This week, we got an announcement that The Cure's latest release will be a live album, recorded at Bestival 2011 (which just happened a few months ago, in September). The live album will be out December 6th, in the US... just in time for Christmas!
The live set will feature 32 (count-'em, thirty-two!) Cure hits, including "The Lovecats," "The Caterpillar," "Close To Me," "Friday I’m In Love," "Lullaby," "The Hungry Ghost," "The End Of The World," "Just Like Heaven," "Grinding Halt," "Jumping Someone Else's Train" and "Boys Don’t Cry". That sound fantastic.
All profits from the sale of the double CD album, and/or digital download, will be given to the Isle of Wight Youth Trust, a charity organization offering counseling, advice, information and support services to young people aged 25 and under on the Isle of Wight. See more details on iowyouthtrust.co.uk.
MORRISSEY
www.itsmorrisseysworld.com
The big news for Morrissey is that he will be appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live (November 23) and Conan O'Brien (November 29). The other big news is that due "a visa administration error", Morrissey's lead guitarist will be unable to fly in on time for November 10th. Instead, the sold-out concert in Chicago will be moved to December 17th (if you think it's cold now...)
So, far, here is Morrissey's latest tour dates:
DURAN DURAN
www.duranduran.com
Duran Duran epic nine-minute video for "Girl Panic", from their latest album, All You Need is Now, was released last week via vevo.com.
I really like the song, there's something familiar and good about Simon LeBon's vocals. What's interesting about the video is that it features super models (Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Eva Herzigova, Helena Christensen and Yasmin Le Bon) playing members of Duran Duran... while the band members are playing minor roles like the waiter and bellhops.
Of course, when you get to the mid-end of the video, they tell you about the inside joke: that Duran Duran was the first band to feature super models in their music videos.
Check out the video:
RADIOHEAD

This one's optimistic: Radiohead is going on tour in 2012! It's been a while since their last tour, which was about four years ago for the In Rainbows tour.
Stay tune for even more dates, it's rumored that they'll be headlining Coachella in 2012.
Here are the confirmed dates:

Read More I've known Mel since late 1992, through a Morrissey fanzine called The Morri-Zine (vol 4, #4). We became close friends.

Read More I have expressed in the past that I am an old-school Radiohead fan, meaning that I'm not particularly fond of their venture into the electronic venue via Kid A and beyond.
