NEWS from Paste Magazine:
For those who mourned the final break up of New Order in 2007 and still cling nostalgically to Joy Division’s final album Closer, a new source of solace can now be turned to. A collaboration among the members of the two bands, along with Blur’s Alex James, has spawned a project called Bad Lieutenant.
Bad Lieutenant lineup includes lead singer Bernard Sumner and drummer Stephen Morris of Joy Division/New Order, guitarist Phil Cunningham of New Order and bassist James of Blur, according to the BBC. The band already has an album recorded that is set to be released in October, accompanied by a tour and numerous music festival stops.

…all of the Natalie Portman references in music?
On the new K-OS album, “I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman” is the name of one of the tracks. (It’s also one of the best on the album!)
Today, I was listening to some radio via Last.fm and heard a song called “Iceage Babeland” by a group called Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head.
What’s going on?!

Guitar Center will take its iconic “Legends Collection” on the road beginning May 23 for a 4-city tour that will make weekend stops in Fountain Valley, La Mesa, San Francisco and Hollywood. The “Legends Collection” will feature three of rock’s most famous guitars – Eric Clapton’s “Blackie®” Fender® Stratocaster® and Gibson ES-335, as well as Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Lenny” Fender® Stratocaster®. Purchased for over $2.4 million from the Clapton Crossroads Centre charity auction at Christies New York in 2004, these three guitars are among the most treasured guitars in rock history.
Assembled in 1973 by Eric Clapton himself from the parts of several guitars, Clapton played “Blackie®” almost exclusively on stage and in the studio from 1973-1985, recording hits such as “Cocaine,” “I Shot The Sherriff,” “Wonderful Tonight,” “Further On Up The Road,” “Lay Down Sally” and various live versions of “Layla” as well as being featured on several album covers and videos. His Cherry Red Gibson “ES-335” was used to record Cream’s versions of “Badge” and “Crossroads” as well as many other historical performances during the 40 years he owned it. Steve Ray Vaughan’s “Lenny,” which Guitar Center purchased for $623,500, was used to record his classic love songs including “Lenny” and “Riviera Paradise.”
Home to the largest collection of vintage instruments in the nation, Guitar Center is also proud to showcase a hand-picked selection of its most rare and sought-after vintage guitars as part of its Vintage Road Show. With Vintage locations in Hollywood, Nashville and Manhattan, Guitar Center’s vintage collection includes hundreds of the rarest and most valuable guitars, amplifiers and other instruments, including an impressive assemblage of ’50s and ’60s Strats and Les Pauls, handcrafted archtops, Jazz Basses, P-Basses and more.

-terrorizing, amp-jumping, accidental vomiting and shambolic, Southern-fried riffs — like if the Kings of Leon loved Iggy Pop and didn’t care about their hair.”
