- Alanis Morissette will release Flavors of Entanglement, her first new studio album since 2004’s So-Called Chaos next spring, reports Billboard. Morissette told Rolling Stone last month that she’d partnered with former Frou Frou member Guy Sigsworth (who’s also worked with Seal, Bjork and Madonna) on the disc, and in the next few weeks Morissette expects to narrow down the tracks she’s recorded to eleven cuts.
- Michael Stipe says R.E.M. will release their next album on April 1st. Speaking at a charity event in New York, Stipe reportedly said “Let me tell you a secret: we have a great fucking record in the bag. It’s a big change.”
- Producer Joel Dorn passed away yesterday from a heart attack. He was sixty-five. Best known for his work with jazz acts, former Atlantic Records staffer Dorn collaborated with Max Roach, Herbie Mann and Les McCann; he was also behind the Allman Brothers Band’s Idlewild South and Roberta Flack’s “Killing Me Softly With His Song” and “The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face.”
- Bands with no TV gigs, take heart: Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien have struck deals to return to work on January 2nd, two months after shutting down production when the WGA strike began.
- Though the Foo Fighters supported John Kerry in 2004, Dave Grohl says the band hasn’t chosen a candidate to support in next year’s presidential election — but they haven’t ruled it out yet. “If a candidate that we all believed in asked us to give them some support, then we would do it. It wouldn’t necessarily be as the Foo Fighters, it would be as four American citizens,” he told the Rock Radio.
