Internets are fun

Interesting things floating around on the internets today:

According to a fan interview, Gary Louris is planning on entering the studio this summer to record a solo album, which could be released as early as this fall. In other Jayhawks news, Tim O'Reagan's new disc (which is utterly amazing, let me tell ya) is due out June 27 on Lost Highway.

Jack White has a new commercial coming out for Coca-Cola, and it is actually pretty artsy and cool to watch.

Pitchfork is reporting that Iggy Pop and the Stooges are reuniting to tour and record their first album since 1973. A great quote from Mike Watt on their creative process and album progress: "Last week, I got a CD-R from Iggy with thirteen tunes -- 'secret plan' was written on it. They were demos with Iggy singing into a MiniDisc, with Scotty on a little kid drum set, and Ronnie on a tiny guitar amp, all done in Iggy's pad in Miami. Ig told me to get some bass lines going but plan on three days with just me and him in August there in Miami to nail down what he wants on bass."
