Lady GaGa’s The Monster Ball Tour w/ Kid Cudi!
So her tour with Kanye West was canceled, but ccording to GaGa Daily, Lady GaGa is ready to hit the road without Kanye… instead hitting up Kid Cudi to join her on stage:
Says Lady Gaga, “The Haus of Gaga had been designing ‘The Monster Ball’ for premiere in 2010 at the O2 Arena in London, but due to diligent work and preparation, ‘The Monster Ball’ will begin on November 27 in Montreal. ‘The Monster Ball’ is a multimedia artistic experience in the style of the first-ever pop electro opera.”
Lady Gaga will release a re-package of her breakthrough album, The Fame,called The Fame Monster, earlier that week, on November 23. The re-package will include eight brand new songs, including the club-banging first single “Bad Romance.” Continues Lady Gaga, “A message to all my little monsters: The Fame Monster will come out four days before the first live show. You have exactly 96 hours to learn all of the lyrics so you can sing along. Dress accordingly.”

Fame Kills: Starring Kanye West and Lady GaGa | Tour Dates
The only two artists that made this year’s VMAs interesting have banded together (after much hearsay and speculation) to give us this winter’s hottest tour. Kanye West’s Glow In The Dark Tour (w/ Rihanna, N.E.R.D., Lupe Fiasco, Nas) was immense and I can only imagine the insanity that Lady GaGa will bring to the stage (fire-breathing boobs? blood?).
Tickets will be sold through LiveNation beginning on September 25th in select markets. A few presales are going on too, but you either have to have a paid membership to the Fame Kills Tour Fan Club, or be a Citi cardholder. You can read all about that here. Just go on and look at the tour dates. Will you be attending?

GOSSIP – 8th Wonder, Tour Dates
This is one of my favorite tracks on Gossip’s Music for Men. Does it sound like the epitomy of angry chick rock? Maybe a tad….But I’ll take it.
Ditto’s vocals are less nasally and more kick ass than in some of the other tracks on the album. The furious guitar and relentless drums serve only to emphasize this fact.
The strange somewhat assonant harmonies that are formed throughout the cut are unreal. I can’t exactly but my finger on it, but there’s something about “8th Wonder” that makes me want to rebel, defy, and be a bitch.
Definitely a track to turn up and rock out to. Cheers Gossip, I like your style.
Read on to listen to “8th Wonder” and for Gossip’s new US tourdates. Continue reading →

U2 will be playing tons and tons of shows on a cool, “innovative” stage that will apparently rotate and give all fans an unobstructed view. The “360″ tour is running through Europe and the U.S.A., and whether you liked No Line or not, I’m guessing you’ll love the U2 live experience. Everyone else does.

The Hold Steady Tours, Covers Springsteen, Makes Documentary
The Hold Steady, one of the greatest and most consistent rock bands of this generation, is releasing a live documentary called A Positive Rage, which, considering their live reputation, should be phenomenal. The DVD comes out on April 7th, along with an extra live album.
Make sure to check out the band’s fantastic cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Atlantic City” (for the latest charity covers album, War Child: Heroes), right here. The cover adds horns to brilliant effect, and since Finn already sounds a lot like Springsteen, it works really well overall. Listen to the cover:

Band of Horses, led by the bearded Ben Bridwell, will be asking people all across the U.S. if there’s a ghost in their house this year.
