music notes

Not sleeping so some misc stuff:
Jimmy Page broke a finger, the Led Zep “reunion” show has been postponed by two weeks. I’m assuming that this show will find its way to CD and DVD, legally or otherwise, so I will survive not being there.
Lisa Stein, 62 years old, was found beaten to death in her NYC apartment. Stein, ex-wife of Sire Records head Seymour Stein, was the Ramones’ manager in the 70s and the person responsible for bringing them to the UK in 76 – which was directly responsible for the subsequent explosion of punk rock in the UK.
December 4th sees release of a 16 disc Pink Floyd box set, Oh By the Way, which does not include their live albums or Relics. Initially at least there will be only 10,000 copies. Don’t know what they will add to make it irresistible for collectors and trainspotters.
U2′s biggest album, Joshua Tree, gets reissued later this month as a single cd, double cd, double cd + 1 dvd, and double vinyl lp set, some of these with super deluxe packaging.
If you don’t already know about this, check over on Youtube. Two members of Arcade Fire turned up at Springsteen’s Ottawa show, joining him for his own State Trooper and their own Keep the Car Running. It’s really worth checking out.
A live Wilco concert on PBS in the US this weekend. Hopefully downloadable by early next week from the usual sources.
