The Next Great American Band hopes to win a crowd by following the “American Idol” model: The three judges will consist of John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls, the 80’s “star” Shelia E., and Ian Dickson. Supposedly it features talented and delusional performers, with some destined to be cheered and others mocked from their first appearance on TV. Some say it looks like the show is being set up to fail with a Friday Night time slot and decent competition. Also, it’s derivative of “Idol” with a lead judge that holds an foreign accent like Simon.

Kelly Clarkson’s success gave American Idol credibility and ‘The Next Great American Band’ needs the same solution. If a band fails to connect with the American Public then the show will flop like Flipper. It’s all about the song and the performer..

The new record from Jimmy Eat World can be streamed in its entirety and is expected to sell 70k units in the first week. The songs sound decent with a first listen..

Coheed and Cambria is now streaming a new song that we like a lot on myspace called Gravemakers & Gunslingers. The new record ‘No World For Tomorrow’ will be released 10/23.

Epic Records has partnered with interactive karaoke restaurant: The restaurant is called Spotlight Live, located in Times Square. Under the deal with Epic, Spotlight Live will host the singing competition every Thursday night from November 7 through January 24, where karaoke contestants will compete to record a single for Epic Records. “There’s no such thing as a traditional record company anymore, which is why this partnership with Spotlight Live is so appealing,” says Epic President Charlie Walk.

Wow, getting down and dirty and working the streets all the way to karaoke bars in hopes to find the ‘next star’. We need to give that initiative an A for effort.
