Monday's News

Wake up, kids! It's time for a new week, and your friendly neighborhood b-digs has a job!

Let's celebrate with some news.

Kanye West and John Mayer have been working on a collaboration for years. It's finally done, and it'll be on West's new album, Graduation. Check it out here.

I love West and Mayer, but I'm mixed on the song. It's certainly no "Stronger"...

In other Kanye news, it appears they're still mis-spelling his name Kayne on more than just his plastic.

Did you miss the big Rage Against The Machine reunion at Coachella? Don't have tickets to their Rock The Bells shows? You're in luck.

They've just announced their first independent show...and it's in Wisconsin. Yep. Wisconsin.

The greatest of all supergroups, The Traveling Wilburys, are getting their two albums reissued. The albums - Volume 1 and Volume 3 - will be released along with 4 bonus tracks and a DVD featuring home movies. Home movies of Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and George Harrison? That's just awesome.

In honor, check out the video for "End of the Line." Like everything about the band, it's never in-your-face. They could have really overdone it, as Orbison died briefly after the album was released and the lyrics are totally fitting. But instead, notice how subtly they work his part in -- just the occasionaly glance at the side of the screen of his guitar sitting in a rocking chair, and a single look at a framed photo of him. It's very poignant.
