It may be fun at the YMCA, but former Village People lead singer Victor Willis had a fun day in federal court yesterday:

3D Weekend Five: Queen

h/t Matt Helm.

American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert is scheduled to perform at least once with the remaining band members.  Or twice.  Or maybe a tour? Or is it just a rumor Lambert’s people are floating?  Or is it the other band members, looking for attention?

RIP — Adam Yauch (aka MCA)

The year of too much death (it’s still only May — May!), particularly people in their 40s, continues, this time claiming Beastie Boy Adam Yauch. So much for recent reports his cancer treatments were improving his condition. Rest in peace, MCA. Praying for you, your bandmates, other friends and family.

Towering Voice

Tom Jones has a new album coming out in May called “Spirit in the Room” — right now it looks to be released only in the UK, but available here as an import.

If this cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Tower of Song” is representative of the rest of the material… it’s frakking awesome.

New to Netflix Streaming: Musical Edition

I’ve been meaning to post these new additions to the Netflix streaming service for the last week or so, but it’s an enormous update and I’ve been daunted by it.  So, I decided just to organize the new releases and post links, with no commentary.  (I’ll leave that to you in the, uh, comments.)
