The Who to release "condensed opera"
[source: NME.com] The Who are planning a limited edition release ahead of their long-awaited album this year. Surviving members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey are currently working on their first studio record in 24 years, but have revealed plans for an extra release. Recalling their 1969 rock opera Tommy, guitarist Townshend confirmed the group have returned to the extended concept format. Writing on petetownshend.co.uk, Townshend said he and Roger had "completed the condensed 11-minute mini-opera, played it to the folks at [record label] Polydor, and are all set to release - probably as a limited edition - in June, prior to the release of a conventional CD in September". A full album from The Who was delayed after drummer Zak Starkey committed himself to playing with Oasis last year. But with summer gigs and a headlining appearance at this year's T In The Park confirmed, The Who now look set to return to action.

Wilco road-test new material
Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche has told billboard.com the band have demoed 18 new songs for the follow-up to 2004's A Ghost Is Born, and "maybe four or five have creeped [sic] into the live set". He says "Either Way" is "a beautiful soul number closer to Bill Withers", "On And On And On" is "a gorgeous ballad with a build throughout the whole song", and "Walken" is "a swamp rocker with total, full-on guitar". Kotche went on to say the new songs are "kind of all over the place". "We're going to continue demoing to see what shape the record takes. We're not really forcing anything. We're just writing songs that we like and crafting good songs together. We'll see what rises to the top."

Fred Durst blasts Borland
Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst has attacked guitarist Wes Borland and his new band Black Light Burns in a song on his myspace page. Over a rudimentary beat, Durst raps: "Stop making plans to manipulate fans and finally stick to something you believe. 'Cause you had us all fooled and, I'll admit, even me. Manipulating like a crook who's arrestable. It's unacceptable, fu#king unacceptable." Durst's attack is inspired by Borland's earlier comments (reported here) that referred to Limp Bizkit as a "dying animal".
