Word on the street is…

Why is Toad’s sprocket wet? That’s a question that might soon be answered, as rockers Toad the Wet Sprocket reunite for a few concert dates with folk artists Counting Crows throughout California this December. Have no fear Toad fans, this might be more than just temporary. According to guitarist Todd Nichols, the band recently had rehearsal and they want to do A LOT more together in the future.
Speaking of bands that were hot ten years ago, Bon Jovi released their new album Bounce this week, and it debuted No. 2 on the Billboard album charts. Congrats to Jon and the gang, I guess they’re still wanted…dead or alive!
TLC (minus recently deceased Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez) will begin shooting the first music video for their Nov. 12th release 3D this week in Atlanta. The city will soon celebrate “TLC Day,” and give remaining band members Chili and T-Boz a key to the city. Barenaked Ladies will release a self-titled DVD on Nov. 5th, including all 17 of their music videos and concert footage. If that doesn’t entice you to buy it, there’s a “One Week” karaoke sing-a-long that, according to bnlmusic.com, “must be seen to be believed.”
A fan at a Ryan Adams concert in Nashville, Tenn. incensed the artist when he jokingly requested a song by Canadian rocker Bryan Adams. Sick of all the name comparisons, Adams personally gave the fan a $30 refund then demanded he leave, and would not continue the concert until the fan left. Adams’ general manager Pam Matthews caught the fan on his way out and apologized profusely for his behavior then invited him back into the show. The fan kept the $30.
Finally, here’s music news nobody’s been waiting for: Kelly Osbourne is gearing up to release her debut album Shut Up (appropriately titled after the 17-year-old’s favorite phrase). Osbourne has all ready shot the video for the album’s first single, also called “Shut Up.” In it, Kelly and her band shoot a video that is instantly ripped off and tossed through the seamy underbelly of the evil Internet world. Yea, ’cause everyone’s waiting to get their hands on Kelly Osbourne’s music!
