Dream Theater Member Cuts New CD
Critically acclaimed keyboard artist, and Dream Theater band member Jordan Rudess is proud to announce the release of his new solo CD, "Notes on a Dream", featuring his unique and innovative piano interpretations of nine of Dream Theater's favorite ballads, and three completely original solo piano instrumentals.
Jordan Rudess first gained national exposure when the readers of Keyboard Magazine voted him 1994's Best New Talent in the Overall Best Keyboardist category after his first solo release Listen.
Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree calls Notes on a Dream, "Amazingly beautiful. Reminds me of the very best of Keith Jarrett's piano music, and that's about as big compliment as I can give to anything!"

McCartney May Be Taking Catalog to Small Label
London's Sun is reporting that Paul McCartney has decided to bipass the big labels and license his catalog of solo albums to independent One Little Indian Records. McCartney's two Fireman albums (with Youth) were released on the label.
A source told the paper “He’s really enjoyed working with One Little Indian on his Fireman project, so didn’t think twice about giving them the responsibility of handling his solo catalogue too.”

Chickenfoot Debuts at #6
The new group Chickenfoot, made up of Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Chad Smith and Joe Satriani, have put their debut album at number 6 on the upcoming Billboard Album chart on sales of 49,000 copies.
While that may sound like a paltry amount, only two albums sold in excess of 100,000 copies last week, the Dave Matthews Band's "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King" with 424,000 and Eminiem's "Relapse" with 141,000. It's then a huge drop to the number three position where 311's Uplifter sold only 60,000 copies.
Additionally, Elvis Costello's "Secret, Profane and Sugarcane" premiered at number 13 on sales of 28,000. That is the best one of his albums has done on the Billboard Album chart since 1980's Get Happy!! which went to number 11. His all-time best placement is 1979's "Armed Forces" which peaked at number 10.

Faith No More Concert
Mike Patton, Roddy Bottom, Billy Gould, Mike “Puffy” Bordin and Album of the Year-era guitarist Jon Hudson (stepping in once again for Jim Martin) returned to the stage after 11 years as Faith No More.
The volume was loud and the crowd response deafening, and while the set wasn’t faultless — the sturdy “Jizzlobber” went slightly wobbly at the end — the quintet avoided an obvious nostalgic greatest-hits set.
With a humble “It’s been very nice to see you, thank you and good night,” Faith No More made their exit, returning with Vangelis’ “Chariots Of Fire” and “Stripsearch” for the first of two encores. They capped the night with “I Started A Joke” and left for good after “Pristina.” It was a mix that accentuated the band’s glorious eccentricity: Faith No More were always left-field, yet inadvertently created some awesome songs with mass appeal. Last night was about a band rediscovering their special chemistry, and proving good music only improves with age.
