GORILLAZ IN THE PARK LIFE
Before Damon Albarn created that animated supergroup Gorillaz, he used to front the massively popular Brit pop act Blur, and it appears that he?s going back to his roots a bit. Albarn will reveal his new band at the BBC?s Electric Proms festival in Camden, England in late October. The band still hasn?t revealed a name, but the record is titled The Good, The Bad and the Queen, and according to Albarn, it?s the ?follow-on record? to Blur?s Park Life. BBC reports that Albarn describes the album as ?a very English record. It?s the first time I?ve really written about home since Park Life.?


BECK GIVES YOU THE INFORMATION
The track-listing for Beck?s upcoming album, The Information, has been revealed. Billboard reports that the record contains 15 tracks, which is the most that Beck?s ever included on an album. The album comes out on October 3rd, the same day as The Killers? second album and Evanescence?s latest. Beck went down the same road as Thom Yorke, choosing producer Nigel Godrich for the project. Here are the tracks:

"Elevator Music""Think I'm In Love""Cell Phone's Dead""Nausea""Soldier Jane""Strange Apparition""Dark Star""Movie Theme""We Dance Alone""No Complaints""1000 BPM""Motorcade""The Information""New Round""Horrible Fanfare/Landslide/Exoskeleton"

CHRIS CORNELL TEAMS WITH LILLYWHITE
Famed U2 producer Steve Lillywhite will get behind the desk to produce Chris Cornell?s upcoming solo album. According to Billboard, the singer will release the album in early 2007. The former Soundgarden frontman plays double duty of course as Audioslave?s lead vocalist. Audioslave?s third album, Revelations, hits shelves on September 5th.

THE SOON TO BE MRS. KATE DOHERTY?
Now that supermodel Kate Moss and notorious rock and roll bad boy Pete Doherty have been photographed kissing all across London, it?s pretty safe to say that the two are back together, but are they thinking of tying the knot? U-K tabloids are reporting that Moss is wearing an engagement ring, and London paper The Sun reports that Pete has been telling friends how desperate he is to marry Kate.

KILLER CONCERTS
As Killers fans wait patiently for the release of the band?s new album Sam?s Town, they can ease their tension by catching the Las Vegas boys play. The band has announced two dates on their Web site. Brandon Flowers and company will be playing their hometown of Las Vegas on August 26th, and the V Festival in Baltimore on September 23rd. If you can?t catch the band at either of those dates, you can watch them perform at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards on August 31st at 7 PM.
