Tuesday Rock Roundup 1017

Wanna play with a rock star? Phil Lesh of The Grateful Dead and Jon Anderson of Yes are both setting up individual rock fantasy camp-type operations. You cough up a bunch of money, and they teach you some of the basics of rock.

The rumors that Eric Clapton is reuniting the supergroup Blind Faith with Steve Winwood are untrue, according to Eric's people.

Iggy Pop and The Stooges, however, have reunited and are working on their first new album in 33 years. Yes, since 1973...

The plaster leg cast that Steven Tyler sported earlier this year following ankle surgery sold for just over a thousand dollars on E-Bay. Tyler will personalize his autograph. It currently says, "Walk This Way! Steven Tyler." Proceeds from the auction will go to the Middlesex Human Service Agency in Waltham, Massachusetts. Tyler chose the hospital because of its substance abuse, homelessness, education, and mental health programs.

New on CD:

Yet another Aerosmith Greatest Hits Collection called Devil's Got a New Disguise: The Very Best of Aerosmith. It's a single disc that spans their entire career, and it contains two new songs that have been around for a while, but have always ended up getting bumped off their albums. Keeping track? That makes 17 albums...and 21 Greatest Hits Collections.
