AP "Beach Boy Bruce Johnston is recovering after wiping out on his surfboard. Johnston was surfing in Santa Barbara, California, on Saturday, when the wave on which he was riding collapsed. Johnston says in a statement the board snapped past his head and the fin sliced across his face. He drove himself to an emergency room, where a doctor stitched up his wounds while singing Beach Boys tunes. Johnston will be back on the road this weekend with The Beach Boys in Galveston, Texas."

FINANCIAL TIMES “The Drift, [Scott Walker's] first album since Tilt in 1995, should do his cult appeal no harm, for it distances him so far from mainstream pop that it seems to exist in a musical galaxy of its own devising. Alternately unsettling and ridiculous, its clanking, industrial chords and weird outbursts of sound (one track features meat being pummelled) resemble a horror film scored by an avant-garde composer....Nonetheless there is something faintly magnificent about The Drift’s uncompromising aura of difficulty.”

BONUS ROUND BLOG “Nik Venet was a music industry legend who was fierce in his denunciation of bad songwriting. He made Simon Cowell look like Paula Abdul. Seriously. Nik never gave any quarter to any songwriter who he felt was lazy and not trying to dive all the way into the meat of any lyric.”
