Three of my favorite bands all have big news at the same time.
Audioslave
The new album, "Out of Exile" is due in stores in May. I think this band is great, but I'm not liking their tyle of marketing. I signed up for news updates, and all these updates are trying to get me to pass on links to my friends to generate hype! It's almost like a pyramid scheme. The first song has been available on iTunes and is also available for free on their website. Now, a second cut is available, but first, one million people need to attempt the download before any of them can hear it! This is pretty absurd.
Pearl Jam
With a new album coming out later this year, they are heading to Canada. For the first time ever, I've started wondering about Canadian geography.
Dave Matthews Band
They've got a new album coming out in May called "Stand Up," but the biggest news is that first cut is available on iTunes.

I have just discovered that the Foo Fighters, another band that I have been growing fond of, have a new album coming up at the end of May. Thus far, I have purchased all my Foo music digitally, so perhaps I will continue this trend with the new album.
