The Meat Puppets are back on the musical map after reuniting in 2006. The group, now a trio with brothers Cris and Curt Kirkwood joined by drummer Ted Marcus, recently inked a deal with Megaforce Records. The label will release their new album, "Sewn Together," on May 12th. The band recently made a welcome and well-received return at Austin's South By Southwest. They'll return with a record release party May 12th at The Mint in Los Angeles, before starting a tour in earnest May 27th in Louisville.

Collector's Choice Presents Gary Lewis & The Playboys' Complete Liberty Singles
Collector's Choice Records has announced May 26 date for The Complete Liberty Singles by Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Steve Hoffman is overseeing the mastering of the original recordings and Ed Osbourne is producing and writing the liner notes, including interviews with producers Snuff Garrett and Bones Howe, drummers Hal Blaine and Jim Keltner, singer and Gary's “ghost” voice Ron Hicklin, and even Gary himself.
The original mono singles were taken from the virtually untouched 40-year-old master tapes and includes many B-sides that have never previously been released on CD. Plus, the 2-CD set includes a song that was only released as a promo, Way Way Out.

Rescue Shelter Boys?
It's almost three decades into their career and the Pet Shop Boys have been asked by animal rights group PETA to rename themselves the Rescue Shelter Boys, CNN reports.
The synthpop duo have declined the “bizarre” request, saying they were “unable to agree” to the name change but “nonetheless think (it) raises an issue worth thinking about” regarding the “cramped, filthy conditions” of pet shops.
I agree, and support PETA and what they try to do, but this goes under the 'inane'- I mean can't they focus their attention on things that will matter?
