DATAROCK is releasing "Catcher in the Rye" as 'the most extravagant single in history" - they're throwing the single on an EP on a USB drive, along with their previous two albums, 20 music videos, 1500 concert photos, a concert film, and two more albums worth of remixes and b-sides... all inside a toy that looks like a blinged-out Kool-Aid Man.

The Joseph Gomoll Foundation, a charity working for epilespy research, has started a series of music compilations called "Joey's Songs," and several singer-songwriters has picked up their guitars for the cause. The first two collections of 16 tracks (one for all-ages, and one for kids) are out this week, and include unreleased songs from Del Amitri, Tracy Bonham, Cowboy Junkies, Ed Harcourt, plus performances by Neko Case and the Crash Test Dummies. And they've lined up plenty of artists (from bands like New Pornographers, Concrete Blonde, Iron and Wine, etc...) for volumes to come...

Together, they are Cat's Eyes, purveyor of Magnetic Fields/Divine Comedy style of romantic pop songs... and they just performed their first gig in December at the Vatican. Word.
Their debut album comes out in May...
And for the straight-up rockers, a new festival tour has joined the scene. The Avalanche Tour lineup for 2011 features StoneSour, Theory of a Deadman, Skillet, Halestorm,and Art of Dying, and they're touring North America this spring. The tour dates have just been annouced (no Kentucky or Cincy shows yet, so I'm out of luck), but you can check their website for details, tickets are on sale the first week of February...
