• E Street Radio — Sirius Satellite Radio’s station dedicated exclusively to music from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band — will debut today. The first show will kick off with a rare 1978 concert taped at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, New Jersey, during the band’s Darkness on the Edge of Town tour, and will continue with both features on the band’s upcoming Magic and other classic concert recordings dating back to 1973. Sirius will also ask Springsteen fans (celebrities included) to submit their favorite live recordings for possible inclusion in future broadcasts. Fans whose picks are chosen will then be able to guest host.

• Stephen Malkmus will release his fourth solo album in March 2008, Pitchfork reports. The still-untitled disc is Malkmus’ first since 2005, and he has also scheduled a pair of dates with the Jicks this fall: December 19th in San Francisco and December 21st in Portland.

• The Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl is partnering with Gibson Guitars for the next release in their “Inspired By” series, a DG-335 that was inspired by Grohl’s Trini Lopez signature model. The guitar is available for purchase starting next Thursday.

• Travis Barker of blink-182 and +44 fame is producing grill master Paul Wall’s next album, MTV News reports. The pair toured together with Fall Out Boy this past spring, and Barker predicts his style is rubbing off on Wall: “Most of the Houston stuff is slow and real feel-good. This has faster tempos. Still feel-good, but it’ll be different for Paul,” he said.

• Eric Clapton will release his memoirs, titled Clapton, The Autobiography, on October 9th. In the book, he chronicles his both his career — from his days with the Yardbirds to hanging out with Jimi Hendrix — and his personal life, including his addictions and the accidental death of his four-year-old son.
