antiMusic reports: This week we have a real
treat for you. One of the best songwriting bands of this generation, Collective
Soul, is releasing their new album 'Afterwords' this week and we asked
lead guitarist Joel Kosche to select his five favorite tracks from the
CD and tell us a little bit about each one. (Ed checks in on a few tracks
too!). Today we conclude with two songs. Joel tells us about "New Vibration"
and Ed tells us about "Good Morning After All".
Here is Joel with comments on "New Vibration":
A great riff. That song has actually been around for awhile and almost
made it on the "Youth" record. A fun song to play live.
And now Ed's tells us about "Good Morning
After All": That one I wrote for my Mom. The strength she showed us during
the time when we lost our father. You keep going. What keeps her going
is her faith. 'You wake just to crawl/You stand just to fall/ But you say
good morning after all.'
You can pick up 'Afterwords' at Target
stores and iTunes now, plus see them on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
on Friday (August 31). You can preview the entire CD-

that Van Halen has added a new date to their reunion tour. At press time,
there was no confirmation on this from the Van Halen camp. That being said
BW&BK says that the band has booked a November 10th date at the The

the first time that Roth will tour with Van Halen in 22 years (The 1984

that they have been rehearsing together for the past four months.

antiMusic reports: It's Friday so it's a good
time for a funny story about Kanye West. It seems that the self important
rapper visited a London "lapdance" club, partook of the services of said
club, but could be bother to leave even a 50 cent tip or pay the bill for
that matter.
PR Inside has the story: The hip-hop star
enjoyed six lapdances at Stringfellows last week (ends24Aug07), but didn't
honour his side of the deal after failing to pay for the privilege.
Club owner Peter Stringfellow says, "If
the bling round his neck had fallen off, it could have paid for holidays
for all of my girls."- more

antiMusic reports: Led Zeppelin doesn't have
a whole lotta love for bootleggers and neither does a Scottish judge as
a man convicted of pirating the legendary band's music has been sentenced
to 20 months in jail thanks to the testimony of Jimmy Page.
Robert Langley was arrested at following
a record fair in Glasgow in 2005 where the UK's version the RIAA seized
CDs and DVDs being sold by Langley that included £11,500 of counterfeit
Led Zeppelin material, according to the BBC.
He originally challenged the charges but
after Jimmy Page testified at his trial he changed his plea to guilty.
"The legitimate part is where fans trade music, but once you start packaging
it up and you do not know what you are getting, you are breaking the rules
legally and morally," said Jimmy Page. - more
