'80s Nostalgia

Looking Forward to... I just discovered that Joshua Radin will release a new album this summer and it will include the four songs from his current EP, "Unclear Skies." You can listen to some of the songs from the album at Joshua's MySpace page.

"This American Life" Live
"This American Life," one of my favorite NPR shows, will broadcast a one-time-only special to movie theaters across the U.S. on May 1. Catch it if you can!

Excellent news: Jim Gaffigan is soon to head out on "The Sexy Tour" and will film his second Comedy Central Special in Austin later this year. All the details are available on Jim's blog.

More Josh Groban News
I've some Josh Groban news to share, as usual: Josh will film a PBS special on April 15 (to be aired some time this year, I believe) and will perform with Paul Simon in the "American Tunes" concerts to be held April 23-27, 2008 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
