LET'S TALK ABOUT ALBUMS
Wow! There are some great CDs out (or coming soon) right now! Audioslave's third album, Revelations, was good for Number Two on this week's Billboard Top 200 album chart, selling 142,000 copies in its first week of release.
Hinder's debut album, Extreme Behavior, has hit Number 10 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart, selling another 54,000 copies last week to climb into the Top 10 after 32 weeks on the chart.
The Paramour Sessions, Papa Roach's fourth major label album, came out Tuesday. The CD's first single is called "...To Be Loved."
The Mars Volta released its new album, titled Amputechture, Tuesday. The entire disc, which follows 2005's Frances The Mute, can be streamed on the band's MySpace page.
My Chemical Romance began invading the 95x airwaves this week with "Welcome to the Black Parade," the first single from the band's upcoming third album, The Black Parade. Singer Gerard Way says this record is a big leap forward for the band and feels that "The Black Parade" is a great representation of that. The Black Parade, which follows up 2004's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, is due out on October 24th.
AND COMING SOON...
Evanescence return with The Open Door October 3rd. The disc follows the band's 2003 major label debut, Fallen, which has sold more than six million copies in the U.S. The first single is "Call Me When You're Sober."
Plus 44, the band featuring former Blink-182 members bassist/singer Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker, release their debut disc, When Your Heart Stops Beating, November 14th. The group shot a video for the title track this past weekend in Los Angeles.
...STILL LATER
Korn bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu said that the band plans to begin recording its new album on September 24th, just days after the group completes the current Family Values tour.
Arctic Monkeys hope to release their second album at the beginning of 2007, according to a new interview with Britain's NME. The group said that it has written most of the songs for the CD, which will follow up this year's award-winning and best-selling debut, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not.
Panic! At The Disco is currently taking a break at home in Las Vegas, where it's working on new material for its second album. The band is developing a storyline for the disc and call it a "modern fairy tale."
Ex-Sum 41 guitarist Dave "Brownsound" Baksh has posted demos by his new metal band, Brown Brigade, at -- where else -- the group's MySpace page. The band is currently recording a six-song EP and preparing for a Canadian tour. Baksh told MTV.com that his new music will "pay homage to the three bands that started me off in music: Anthrax, Megadeth and Metallica."
LUKAS ROSSI WINS 'ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA'
Lukas Rossi was named the winner of the CBS reality show Rock Star: Supernova last night. The 29-year-old Toronto was chosen over Dilana Robichaux by his new bandmates Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted and Gilby Clarke. After eliminating Toby Rand and Magni Assgeirrson, Lukas and Dilana were the final two singers left standing. Lee then announced the winner by saying, "Lukas, you're our boy, welcome." The new band then hit the stage and performed an original song titled "Be Yourself."
The band plans to head to the studio immediately and work on their new album scheduled to be released on November 21st. They also plan to kick off their tour in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve (December 31st).
'SURVIVOR' DEBUTS TONIGHT
The 13th edition of Survivor starts tonight (September 14th) with a twist that's already stirred up plenty of debate -- the tribes start out the million dollar contest divided by ethnicity. There's an African-American team, an Asian-American one, a Hispanic tribe, and a Caucasian team. As in previous incarnations, the Survivor: Cook Islands groups will be forced to vote off their own as the game progresses.
Host Jeff Probst hopes that critics of the show's ethnic divide give it a chance before forming final opinions on it: "It's a sensitive topic, but I think if people give it a chance, they're gonna be surprised at the results. And I hope all the people who have their megaphones out condemning the show before they've even seen a minute of it will be just as vocal when it's over. If it surprised you or your expectations were reversed, I hope you'll be just as vocal."
Survivor: Cook Islands debuts at 7 p.m. on CBS.
NEW 'DECADES ROCK LIVE' SET FOR OCTOBER
The latest edition of the VH1 Classic series Decades Rock Live, featuring Incubus and Garbage vocalist Shirley Manson in a tribute to the Pretenders, will premiere on the cable music channel on October 20th at 7 p.m. Iggy Pop and Kings Of Leon will also be on hand to honor the veteran rock band led by singer and guitarist Chrissie Hynde. Incubus will perform "Message Of Love" with the Pretenders, while Manson will sing Garbage's "Only Happy When It Rains" with the honorees.
CROCKIDILE HUNTER FUNERAL IS NEXT WEEK
Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin may not have received a state funeral in Australia, but his public memorial service next Wednesday (September 20th) is going to be an international event. The entire funeral will be broadcast live throughout Australia, Asia, and the U.S. from the Australia Zoo's "Crocoseum." Outdoor screens will be set up throughout the zoo, at the nearby Sunshine Coast, and in the city of Brisbane for mourners that don't fit in the packed auditorium.
In related news, authorities are still investigating the mutilation of 10 stingrays found along Queensland beaches. The killings are suspected "revenge attacks" for Irwin's death.
