antiMusic reports: This week for 2&2 we
speak with Matt Moseman, frontman of Edgewater about their brand new CD
'We're Not Robots'.
2&2: You guys went from Wind-Up
with their mixed priorities to Rock Ridge which seems to be a much more
artist friendly label. Can you tell us a little bit about the transition
and how it's going so far?
Matt: We love Rock Ridge and all
the support we have gotten. We also appreciate everything that Wind-Up
did for us. It wasn't a bad transition, just a little uncomfortable trying
to find where we fit.
2&2: What is the significance of
the title of your new album?
Matt: We just want to write and
have fun being a band. Not some cookie cutter commercial. [see the full

Misfit CD |
blabbermouth.net reports: Greg Prato of Billboard.com
reports that ex-MISFITS frontman Michale Graves is showing his support
for The West Memphis 3 (the three young men who are believed by some to
have been wrongfully convicted for murdering three young boys in 1993)
by touring to support the WM3 and collaborating on a full album with one
of the men, Damien Echols.
Inspired by a viewing of the "Paradise
Lost" documentaries, Graves reached out to Echols' wife via email, who
then put the two men in contact. "Damien and I started writing back and
forth," Graves tells Billboard.com. "I challenged him to continue writing
lyrics. I said, 'You can articulate what you're hearing and what kind of
mood is happening, and I would put it to music.' And that's what he did.
I would kind of meditate on it, pick up my guitar, and we wrote six songs
together."[see full story for more]- Click

| Guitars,
Cadillacs, Etc |
Special Ops reports: Rhino Entertainment will
release Dwight Yoakam's reworked classic, Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc.:
Remastered and Expanded, on October 17th. Seemingly too traditional for
Nashville's music establishment at the time, Dwight Yoakam moved to Los
Angeles in 1977, whereby the early 80s his captivating performances at
the Palomino Club, Club Lingerie, Hong Kong Cafe and other Hollywood venues
earned him and his band-the Babylonian Cowboys-a loyal following among
California's burgeoning cowpunk scene. Rhino celebrates the 20th anniversary
of Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc., with a remastered version of his 1986
debut expanded with demos for the album recorded five years earlier. The
double-disc set also features a live recording of Yoakam playing the Roxy
shortly after the album's release and includes several unreleased live
cuts. The deluxe edition of Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. will be available
October 17 from regular retail outlets and at www.rhino.com. [take a listen
