I was a big Distillers fan back in the day, mostly because lead singer Brody Dalle has such a wicked, ripping set of pipes. Since that band first broke, and then broke up, Dalle's name comes up more for her famous husband (and father of their child) Queens of the Stone Age's Joshua Homme, than for any new projects she's been working on. So it's good to hear that Dalle's not only been back in the studio, but that she has a new band, Spinnerette that puts her back in the rock saddle. The one son
Brit-poppers Primal Scream have unleashed a new record, Beautiful Future (out now in the UK; not sure on the US release date).

For every Cream - the bluesy British trio Eric Clapton dissolved after listening to The Band's Music From Big Pink and determining that his own band had lost its soul - there are too many Oysterheads and
mr. Gnome @ Elbo RoomThe new album by Cleveland duo mr. Gnome, Heave Yer Skeleton, is a surreal rock listen.
