October 2003

• The new Living Colour album is out around the world! After a ten year silence (of sorts), the band returns triumphantly with Collide0Scope!

• Living Colour has finally launched its own official website at http://www.livingcolour.com/ !!!! I have not viewed the entire site yet, but what have seen is a great start!
  
  It will be great to finally have an official website from which fans can get the word on LC straight from the horse's mouth. The site looks like it will include a store with merchandise as well, for all those who want to buy official stuff.
  
  As this is a fan website, I will try to keep putting up news here as well, to keep the word out on this amazing band. Also, I'd like to give a shout here to some of other great fan sites out there... www.livingcolournet.com and livingcolour.blogspot.com

• In case you need a shortcut to help you get the band's music, I've created a page that links to CD Universe.com for all of their albums, and I will soon add links to Amazon (America and Britain).

• Finally, I have completed my review of Collide0Scope, read it here (if you care...)

Recently in 2002

• Living Colour signed with Sanctuary Records in November 2002, so it looks like the new album will be released on one of the Sanctuary labels. Sanctuary is the home of prog legends King Crimson and the soulful Alison Moyet, among others.

• Living Colour was scheduled to return to Nova Sound (Doug's studio) in late November to continue recording for the new album.

• Doug co-wrote and played bass on the title song on the soundtrack to the movie "Brown Sugar", released September 24.

• Vernon and DJ Logic's Yohimbe Brothers project released the album "Front End Lifter" on September 10, and toured the United States. A page with pictures from that tour is at http://samchillian.com/yohimbetour02/yohimbetour02.html . Front End Lifter is an eclectic, futuristic mix of electronica, rock with jazzy touches, soul, hip-hop and many other things, definitely something to hear! Also, a flash animation of Vernon and Logic can be found at http://www.meatlockerstudios.com/yobro.htm .

• Will is scheduled to perform at the Blue Note in NYC on 30 December. I read somewhere (can't remember where) that Will would be doing a show that will be recorded for his next jazz CD on the Blue Note label, maybe this is it? Will has been playing over the last couple of months with Pharoah Sanders in Europe. He is also scheduled to play with Stanley Jordan in Nerac, France on 21 February at FESTIVAL LA GUITARE DANS TOUS SES ETATS.

• The Sundance film organization has awarded Will a fellowship to produce film scores.

• Word is that the Black Jack Johnson CD will be released in early 2003. Black Jack Johnson teams Will and Doug with Mos Def, Dr. Know & Bernie Worrell.

• Reunion `81, the film that Corey acted in, debuted in San Francisco in November. Information on this film can be found at www.reunion81.com
