Unearthed Shannon Hoon Music Set to Debut in Blind Melon Doc

Photo: Eichner/WireImage October 21, 2010 will mark the 15th anniversary of the passing of Blind Melon’s Shannon Hoon, and his former bandmates are honoring their original singer with an upcoming documentary later this year. The still-untitled piece is being directed by Colleen Hennessy and developed through Danny Clinch’s production company, Three on the Tree. While it will feature footage from several sources, the main focus of the film is the hours of footage Hoon shot himself over the years.

Kanye West Will Always Be My Homecoming Queen

Ever wonder what the Apple Ads with the dancing people would look like if all of the dancers had autism? (Ed Note: Relax. All my children will have autism.) Well, now we know, thanks to the re-re stylings of Coldplay's Chris Martin, who makes an appearance in Kanye West's latest opus, Schindler's List... I mean, "Homecoming." The black and white video for what is personally is my favorite song off of the Graduation album, is a bit of a let down, in that it's a black and white video of Kanye just sort of moseying of around Chicago, staring at himself in the giant mirrored lima bean downtown, just sorta kickin' the dirt, thinking of the olden days. Meanstwhile, Chris Martin's silhouette remains hovering in the background, doing weird jazz handy things while also providing the song's melody. OK, OK, the video isn't that bad... it's almost good. But the question remains: Is Chris Martin the Shannon "Blind Melon" Hoon of the new millennium? His floppy hand gestures suggest: Yes. Click to watch the vid after the jump.

LISTEN UP: Things You Probably Never Thought You Would Hear

Here's now-defunct indie rock darlings Luna doing a surprisingly awesome cover of Paula Abdul's "Straight Up". And here's hoping that they're also planning to do an "Opposites Attract" music video with an animated cat who can rap. (Vulture) And here's six words I'd never planned to type: a new song from Blind Melon. (Stereogum) How about a song called "Eli" from a band called "Caribou" that actually sounds sort of great? (Untitled Records) Or maybe a soft, moving ballad by a young lady named Emily Jane White all about "Wild Tigers I Have Known"? (Gorilla vs Bear) Or maybe a sick new track from Lupe Fiasco, far in advance of the new album? (Lupe's MySpace)

LISTEN UP: Cut Your Hair While Ya Still Got It

Oooh, the new Stephen Malkmus album due out in March appears to have leaked. Or maybe he just hasn't stopped jamming since '05. (Cause = Time) Big fan of "Teenager In Love" by The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, although if I recall my own experiences, being a teenager in love sounded a lot more like Rush and ELP. (Merry Swankster) Hate Something Beautiful salutes the upcoming Breeders reunion at Coachella with an mp3 of their impossible-to-dislike single "Cannonball." No word on that Blind Melon
