Day in Rock reports: We're celebrating the
recent release of Tesla's 'Reel to Reel' this week. Frank Hannon will be
giving us some insight into the making of several songs from the new CD
with his studio diary. We conclude the special today with the Tesla version
of the Beatles 'Let it Be' classic "I've Got A Feeling". Here is Frank:

- This is a song that JK and BW are always fooling around with at sound
check. Brian is a die hard Paul McCartney fan so we had to pick at least
one Beatles song that hasn't been overdone yet and this was it. It has
a great bass line and a cool Jam feel. We tracked it several times after
learning but again it was the first take that had the swagger. After listening
to our takes a bunch, we felt it needed to be a little tighter so Troy
came in the next day and re-played his drums to the second take, and this
is the one we used. Dave is playing a tele that used to belong to Stevie
Ray Vaughn and the tone is amazing.
Listen the song at the full story link.

DJ Rossstar reports: Let me start off by saying
that this is not a joke. Sometimes the news I post is so extreme that I
wouldn't blame you for not believing it.
Spinner has spilled the beans on "Idol:
The Musical" which will open Off Broadway in New York City on July 5th
2007.
The show is described as ""a satirical
look" at the phenomena known as Clay-Mania -- a thumbnail that strikes
us as being almost as redundant as "a soporific rendition of 'You Light
Up My Life,'" although it fails to mention who actually gave the description.

CMJ reports: On June 26, Internet radio stations
will observe a day of silence, shutting down regular programming to protest
the Copyright Royalty Board's royalty increase, to be enforced July 15.
Thousands of webcasters are slated to take part, such as Live365, KCRW,
AccuRadio, as well as college stations like WUSC-FM, among others. The
day of silence is aimed at showing their listeners and the community at

through eBay and help a family get their lives back together. Here's bassist

Idolator.com reports: When the White Stripes
had the idea to rechristen the abandoned Tower Records on Sunset Boulevard
"Icky Thump Records" and allow their fans to indulge in a little midnight-madness
shopping this past Monday, they probably had no idea that the sheer devotion
of their fans would result in a massive opportunity for blindingly obvious
puns:
The trouble started when the band announced
that the first 200 CD's sold at the temporary store when it opened at midnight
Monday night and re-named "Icky Thump Records" for the occasion, would
receive free tickets to the concert.
White Stripes fans began congregating in
front of the closed retailer on the Sunset Strip in the early evening Saturday,
even though no public facilities existed for them. That was when neighbors
began reporting that they were witnessing incidences of public urination
and defecation.[see full story for more]- Click
