Album Preview: Mudvayne Reinvents Itself, Says Nu-Metal Will Be BackWhen Mudvayne releases its fourth studio album The New Game in November, the record will be new to fans but a year and a half old for the band. Having the tour for its previous record and with vocalist Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett joining forces with Pantera’s Vinnie Paul in Hellyeah, the band opted to sit on the album as opposed to rushing it out to the market — a good choice, considering the set’s shift towards bigger choruses and more accessible melodies. “There’s a bit of pop mentality to the way we like to write together, and maybe we’ve gravitated towards that over the years,” bassist Ryan Martinie tells Rock Daily. “There’s friendlier songs, where we’re not alienating the listener. Maybe we didn’t want to alienate ourselves either.” When the band decided the time wasn’t right to release The New Game, they reconvened and cranked out another batch of songs — a whole new album’s worth. While those songs won’t make it into the live show yet, the next record could see the light of day as early as spring 2009. As one of the last bands standing from the nu-metal pack at the turn of the millennium, the band survived by not overplaying its initially cartoonish visual component and discouraging members to grow dreadlocks. Martinie isn’t sure why some bands failed and others can still release platinum albums, but warns about one of the least-likely nostalgia movements in music. “You have a band like Disturbed that’s still around and writing great music,” he said. “The ‘nu-metal’ genre was the uncool thing to listen to for a while, and I think it will come back around. People will say, ‘I forget that I loved that song so much.’ People will come back to it, maybe like they do with Eighties songs or bad Nineties pop.” Related Stories: • “Dimebag” Darrell Honored at Ozzfest • Mudvayne Tour Dates • Mudvayne Unmask For Lost and Found

The Dead Reunite for Obama at Scorching Penn State Benefit GigPhoto: Weiner/Retna Once again, Obama has raised the Dead: The remaining members of the Grateful Dead regrouped for the first time in four years at a “Change Rocks” fundraiser for Barack Obama at Penn State Monday night. Guitarist Bob Weir, babying a set of broken ribs, joined bassist Phil Lesh and drummer Mickey Hart. Drummer Bill Kreutzmann, who did not play at the “Deadheads for Obama” fundraiser last spring, flew in from his Hawaiian holdout to join the band. The crowd was an even mix of die-hard Deadheads and Penn State students, with the parking lot scene pretty standard, complete with tailgating, music blaring, Frisbees flying, and no hotel vacancies for 30 miles (students paid $30, non-students paid $50). The Allman Brothers started the show, giving the event a flashback to the days when the two bands shared bills at the Filmore in the late 1960s and early ’70s. However, without beer sales and zero-tolerance security, most of the students stayed out in the parking lot partying. Slowly, the seats filled as Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes traded licks and Gregg Allman worked the keys and sang with no signs of his illness that kept him offstage last spring. “It’s a beautiful night,” said Haynes. “It’s an historic night. Don’t forget to vote.” Between sets, Obama volunteers and security wandered the floor of the sold-out 16,000-seat Bryce Jordan Center in State College, Pennsylvania as a video message from the candidate played: “For 20 months, I’ve been traveling this country from town to town — even developing a ‘Touch of Grey’ of my own,” Obama said. “On November 5th, I hope to announce that we ‘Ain’t Wasting Time No More.’” After a photo opp backstage, with Kreutzmann grinning and Weir sitting with his chin pensively in his hand, the band took stage and electrified the crowd. The smoke billowed, glow sticks flew and the crowd roar crept up. For the first two songs — “Truckin’ ” and “U.S. Blues” — it seemed the band was set on giving a Dead primer, offering so

Jay-Z Webcasting NYC Gig, Tribute Albums for Madonna and Pixies, Kelly Clarkson Teams With Reba McEntire for Tour Jay-Z’s recent performance at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom is about to get a global audience, thanks to Msn.com, which will webcast the show in its entirety starting next Tuesday, November 20th. We don’t know if “in its entirety” and “unedited” are the same thing, so while you listen for beeps, look for guest appearances by Diddy and Lil Wayne. Until then, check out an excerpt from Jay-Z’s Rolling Stone cover interview, plus exclusive audio from his interview and behind-the-scenes video from his photo shoot. Madonna and Pixies are the focus of two new tribute albums. Dig for Fire features British Sea Power, Mogwai, OK Go and They Might Be Giants trying their hand at the Boston band’s catalog. Through the Wilderness, which also serves as a benefit for Madonna’s own Raising Malawi Organization, has appearances by Lavender Diamond, Giant Drag and Ariel Pink. Rick Ross will release his sophomore album Trilla on December 18th. The LP includes guests Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne, Akon, T-Pain and R. Kelly, who features on the first single “Speedin’.” Fall Out Boy is in the “first trimester” stages of their new album, says Patrick Stump from the CosmoGirl! awards. The band also denied various rumors that said the band was going folk (rumors that probably originated right here), that they will collaborate with Cobra Starship’s keytarist and that the group are transitioning into rap-rock. Here’s a fresh rumor: Fall Out Boy went to the CosmoGirl! awards! Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire will hit the road togther early next year as they embark on their 2 Worlds 2 Voices tour.

Paul McCartney Plans Deluxe “Memory Almost Full,” Morrissey Hits the Studio, Rage and Arcade Fire to Rock Big Day Out Paul McCartney is brewing up a deluxe edition of his Starbucks-approved semi-new album Memory Almost Full. The reissue, out November 16th on the coffee giant’s Hear Music label, will be accompanied by a live DVD, plus three unreleased songs (“In Private,” “Why So Blue” and “222”). After his current tour ends, Morrissey plans to return to the studio to record the follow-up to 2006’s Ringleader of the Tormentors. Morrissey told BBC News that the album is “absolutely written and completely ready.” The ex-Smiths singer is currently without a record contract, but is weighing an offer from Warner Bros. This year’s Big Day Out Festival, to be held late January to early February in select cities in Australia and New Zealand, will feature performances by Rage Against the Machine, Arcade Fire, Björk, LCD Soundsystem and many more. While you wait anxiously for Matador Records to reissue Pavement’s Brighten the Corners, the label will help pass the time by releasing deluxe, expanded editions of Mission of Burma’s Vs. and The Horrible Truth About Burma in early 2008. Blur’s Alex James has declared that the not-quite-yet-reunited band is still capable of making their “best album ever.” The band, with guitarist Graham Coxon back in tow, had scheduled a lunch this week to discuss returning to the studio to record a follow-up to 2003’s Think Tank.

Led Zeppelin Ticket Lottery Extended, Fred Durst Pleads Guilty to Car-Related Charges, Pete Doherty Returns to Studio Thanks to the Website-crashing demand for Led Zeppelin reunion tickets, organizers behind the Tribute to Ahmet Ertegun concert will extend the application process to Wednesday, September 17th. So far, over 25 million people filled out ballots with hopes of securing one of the 20,000 £125 tickets for the November 26th show. Meanwhile, Hugh Manson, who has worked with members of Led Zep for over twenty-five years, calls the band’s top-secret rehearsals “hard work but a lot of fun.” Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst found a way to infiltrate Rock Daily after pleading guilty to seven misdemeanors, including assault, battery and reckless driving. The charges stem from an October 2006 incident when Durst deliberately tried to hit two people with his car in LA. Durst was given a 120-day suspended jail sentence, ordered to perform 120 hours of community service and fined $1,500. Common and Q-Tip will co-headline this year’s 2K Sports Bounce tour, which is one-half rap concert, one-half video game tournament. Q-Tip will use the fifteen-city tour as an opportunity to road-test songs from his new album The Renaissance, due out in early 2008. Unbeknownst to her professor, Shakira was secretly attending classes at UCLA under the guise of a Colombian student. Following her Oral Fixation tour, Shakira enrolled in “Introduction to Western Civilization: Ancient Civilizations from Prehistory to Circa A.D. 843.” Class began August 6th and ended yesterday. Pete Doherty and Babyshambles are back in the studio, recording B-sides for their upcoming, Fall Music Previewed album Shotter’s Nation. Among the new song titles are “Jumping Bean,” “I Don’t Know That Man” and “Velvet Untitled.”

RIP 'TRL' [Dropping Off The Charts]newVideoPlayer("/trlcrazy_def.flv", 506, 423,""); One of the final shows on the MTV roster to still fulfill their "M" classification, Total Request Live is at long last drawing to a close. Once the state-of-the-art in boy-band-disseminating technology, it allowed viewers to e-mail, text, and phone in their votes, while offering them the thrill of seeing their feedback—"OMG Tom DeLonge izz zooooo hot. Blink-182 roxx so hard!!! LUV U GUYZZZZ :D BlinkGrl182"—crawl along the bottom of the screen in real time. It had multiple hosts over the years, but it's Carson Daly with whom it will forever be associated: A little-known Bay Area DJ dropped into the gig of a lifetime, he instantly became the fantasy dream boyfriend of billions of American teenage girls—and very nearly avoided early tragedy by calling off his engagement to Tara Reid. Variety reports the show "will depart in mid-November with a two-hour Saturday-afternoon special," replaced by the more popular Feedback New MTV, or FNMTV. We salute its departure with one of its greatest-ever moments: Part 2 of Mariah Carey's infamous TRL meltdown, when she called the show naked from her shower, shattering untold eardrums along the way with a sustained high G.

apple/spektor=frenzy.Redheaded young thing Alison Sudol is the voice, pen, and ivory-tinkling behind A Fine Frenzy -- in fact, she's the entire band. Not bad for a 22-year-old, albeit one born to drama teacher parents and who grew up near the center of it all in Los Angeles. The ethereal-voiced pianist is Fiona Apple with a gentler touch, Regina Spektor with a poppier bent, Tori Amos without all the faerie magic. Sudol, who name-checks influences as disparate as Coldplay, Louis Armstrong and Philip Glass, is on tour in North America through early November with Brandi Carlile (and she just wrapped a few dates opening for Rufus Wainwright). Catch her if you can, or pick up her debut One Cell in the Sea.

Update: Christina Aguilera poses for Marie Claire, talks pregnancy Update: Additional photos and quotations added. Originally posted November 28th: Mom-to-be Christina Aguilera, 26, shows off her burgeoning belly in the latest issue of Marie Claire. Inside, the songstress, due with a son in early January, discusses becoming pregnant, touring in her first trimester, keeping quiet with her good news, and her public persona. Click below for the photo and interview highlights. Worker bees -- please be aware that while tasteful, Christina is nude in the photos. On getting pregnant during a tour stop in Washington, DC in early April:We were planning on starting to try after the tour [ended in August]. And so, I had gone off the Pill to prepare my body, because I didn't know how much time it would take. You've heard it takes some time –- except with Power Egg and Super Sperm here. That's what my makeup artist on tour calls it. I'm like, 'Oh, my God, can you believe it just happened?'On finding out she was expecting:By the time I was supposed to get my period, I was like, 'It's not coming' -- and it's never late. And there were emotions coming up that I've never felt before -- I was already starting to get emotional. So I did a test. When the double lines came, my jaw dropped; I started shaking. I couldn't help but smile, and I started to tear up.After peeing on a few more sticks, and visiting a doctor to confirm, she called Jordan in New York -- he was elated. On finishing the last months of her tour while in her first trimester:I was paranoid. There are so many things that could go wrong –- somebody could slip, somebody could fall, I could fall. There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show. [I wore a heart monitor.] I didn't want to make the audience uncomfortable, like, 'Pregnant lady onstage! Is she going to be okay?' But I had to announce it to my band and my dancers, because I wanted to make sure they had my back. When we got to Asia, at one point no one could find a few of the dancers -- they were off t
