New music from Banarama, Robyn Hitchcock and a tour by the Church

Bananarama ... Finally some new music from Banarama. Their new single - Love Don't Live Here - is due out April 12.

... Australia's The Church is celebrating 30 years as a band with a U.S. tour. (No Florida dates!)

... We miss you, Scotty. If James Doohan was still alive, his birthday cake yesterday would have lit up like a Christmas tree.

... Robyn Hitchcock has a new single out called Ordinary Millionaire. (I always dug My Wife and My Dead Wife.)

... New Order's Peter Hook has announced a spoken-word tour for the U.K. How about a New Order reunion tour of the U.S. instead? Please?

TODAY'S READER BLAST is from ... Mark in New Jersey: "Hey Sean and Spearsy. I came across a real gem, Siskel and Ebert about as uncensored and politically incorrect as you can get. Click here to view it. It's sorta NSFW. I hope you both get along better than this."

Sorry to say, Mark, that things actually boiled earlier this week when we recorded the upcoming podcast. Stay tuned. All the audio is there.
