A brand-new studio album from The Who is due for release on 22 November this year.
Bright Young things Roger (75) Daltrey and Pete (74) Townshend have put together 'WHO', their first new collection of songs since 'Endless Wire', 13 years ago.
I do not hold out high hopes for the new Who album as they have not been the same without Keith Moon, he was so integral to their sound. Just found out they are coming to Cardiff in March with tickets on sale on Friday.
It will be good to hear the old classics. Saw them a few years back when the set was cut short because Daltrey lost his voice. I was pissed off at the time but am more sympathetic after recentmly reading his autobiography. It was the start of something serious which lead to Meningitus. So glad he pulled through. Townshend could have been the only one left.

Rumours are that Genesis could be reforming. All 3 members were seen together at a sports event in New York.
Who knows...?

I thought Phi! Collins was not able to play drums anymore. Suppose he could stick to singing if Gabriel is not part of any reunion.

Lee Harris? Ex Talk Talk, great drummer.
Which raises an ancient philosophical conundrum :
Are drummers musicians?
As anny fule kno - rhythm is the basis of all good music, I'm doing a choral concert tomorrow evening and we have a piece from Philip Glass which, if the rhythm is off, will fall totally apart.
Several Steve Reich works are only percussive, like 'Drumming'. Klaus Schulze started as the drummer for Ash Ra Tempel and said that all musicians ought to play the drums in order to understand tempo and rhythm.
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.
