So is it EELS or Eels? As a blogger, do I conform to the artist's presumed preference (EELS) or to otherwise proper English? These are the things that almost keep me from blogging. Ok, today, let's go with EELS...
Listen to HOMBRE LOCO by EELS in its streaming entire glory now - before its release on June 2 - on TheirSpace.
This reminds me, god do I hate MySpace.

Call them He & Her if you will since She & Him is already taken - Pete Yorn has hooked up with Scarlett Johansson only to Break Up on September 8. The first single Relator is already available via iTunes or streaming at their site here and definitely carries a similar vibe to what M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel did so well last year. What is it with these singer-songwriters and their lovely actresses with hard names to spell and a hankering for a music career?

Yorn has his own album coming out June 23 called Back and Forth. And that's all I have to say about that.

Now this is big news - Macca and Dylan are recording over the summer according to the Daily Express (via Gigwise). Details are scarce but the assumption is they'll record in either Paul's or Bob's home in California which are not too far from each other. Can't wait to hear the musical outcome.
Is it sad that I'm getting more and more of my music news on Facebook?
Anyway, Sarah McLachlan is performing for Jay Leno on Wednesday May 27th so set your DVRs to stun record if that's past your bedtime like it is mine.
According to Sarah's Facebook page, she performs at 11:45PM.
Still no word of a new album.

Rooney announced on Facebook today that they've finished their new album and are currently shopping it around for mixing. They've described it as a "gothic, romp, mud". You'll have to watch the video on their page to understand.
They're also playing on the new Conan O'Brien show. Well, kinda. They're playing on a test episode for the new Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. The footage will be on the web sometime in June.
While perusing the Rooney page, I also noticed they're doing the theme song to a new Nickelodeon show based on the awesome Iron Man movie - "Iron Man: Armored Adventures". Check out the video to the song below.
