JIM O'ROURKE NOVI ALBUM

Proslo je vise od osam godina od kada je ovaj indie manijak snimio izvorni materijal za diksografsku kucu Drag City. Novi album “The Visitor” bice klasican album, bez ikakvih izleta u avant elektroniku, ali i pretenzija da bude pop. Tvrdi da ce biti pun emocija, ma-sta-to-znacilo.

JOS ODGODA

Prvo stomacni grip, zatim maligni tumor i na kraju povreda noge. C, c, c, David Gaham se raspada! Naime, u sred koncerta u Bilbao-u 9. jula pukao mu je nozni misic. Tako su odlozeni koncerti do daljeg. Sta da se radi. Samo se nadam da nece skoro na jam session sa Michael Jackson-om!
