Fast-forward to 2009 and 'InsideOut,' Dilana's album debut, out November 17th from Kabunk! Records. "Holiday" kick-starts the record, setting the pace (fast) and energy (lots of it). Dilana's gravelly voice and powerful delivery make her rock-star presence immediately known, and her vocal swagger is matched only by her lyrics. On the chorus of "Holiday" she sings: "Oh my life has changed/Like a holiday/Feels so damn good/Like Hollywood/I'm gonna, I'm gonna shove this life in your face/Gonna give you a taste."

So with credentials like these, why is a book titled WHY AC/DC MATTERS (William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers; Hardcover; October 13, 2009) necessary? Because, from the start, AC/DC was at best ignored�and at worst ridiculed�by the mainstream music press. In AC/DC's thirty-five-year history, the band has graced the cover of Rolling Stone exactly twice��there was no Bon Scott memorial issue, no exclusive "in the studio" pieces, and no fitting recognition in any of the magazine's endless "greatest" lists. The mainstream media's critical subtext has always been that AC/DC is unworthy of serious consideration, an inexplicably popular band for the tasteless masses, selling the obvious to an unseen, uncultured majority.

The line-up consists of Todd Rundgren (vocals, guitar), Jesse Gress (guitar, vocals), Greg Hawkes (keyboards, vocals), Ralph Schuckett (keyboards, vocals), Prairie Prince (drums), Bobby Strickland (saxophone, vocals) and Kasim Sulton (bass, vocals).

The new album features 14 tracks largely self-recorded by Eels leader Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, in his Los Angeles basement studio.

The bar will feature none of the trendy d�cor, snobby attitude and outlandish prices so prevalent in Vegas. Instead, Dead Man's Hand will favor grit over glitz, providing customers great music, cool atmosphere and affordable drinks all year long.

"We want this to be a place that we would want to hang out in," Ian says. "There's a huge segment of the music audience that likes to go out but doesn't want to go to places that only play Lil Wayne and Lady Gaga and charge $750 for a bottle of vodka. We want to be the opposite of that."

The big-haired rocker will be guest-of-honour at the ceremony on November 24 in which a Hollywood-style star will be laid in tribute to his flamboyant friend, who died of AIDS in 1991. Mercury's mother Jer Bulsara and sister Kash Cooke have also said they will attend the event.

They also produced a clip featuring Lemmy of Motorhead that was released last week for Hardware and you can check that out here.

This track is straight from the heart. I had a little riff I had been working on and came up with a melody line. I got together with Scooby (our b3/piano player), and he helped work out the rest of the song with the verse and bridge music. That really sewed up the music bed for the song and now it was lyric time.

Within the month that I was working on this song, I had three of my best friends' fathers pass away within a couple weeks of one another. Well, I'm an emotional wreck anyway; a Hallmark commercial can draw tears from me! LOL! Anyway, I wanted to grieve with my friends, and at the same time I wanted to help them to see all the good things they should celebrate from their fathers' lives. Once I got on a roll with the theme of the song the lyrics came rather quickly.

Every line in the verses is advice that came from their fathers, as well as from my dad at one time or another. I had asked each of my friends to tell me some things they remembered their father telling them; I used some from each, and, of course, they are things that every father would advise you. In verse one telling you that, "you don't have to be no hero, don't go changing who you are," which represents his unconditional love, and uplifting advice like, "Don't be forgetful, and always do your best to try," to financial advice, "don't throw away your pennies, add them up over time," and in verse two a stern warning, "life is what you make it, and that bed that you make is where you'll lie".

The bridge of the song is the meat of all advice from your father with the lines, "you got to want to want to get better, don't be the quitting kind," and then, "You got to walk the talk you put out there, it's what you leave behind," which means be true to yourself and your word, the old "do what you say" quotation.

The chorus offers up the healing side of the song's message, "Daddy's leaving for the last time, here come the angels, they're gonna carry him away," a safe passage of comfort and the line, "He's walkin on water, the shadow in my life," represents he'll always be there in spirit.

When I finished the song, I decided to go to Nashville and tweak it out with the highly respected songwriter, Kirsti Manna. Kirsti is one of the writers on "She's Country," the Jason Aldean hit just to mention one of many. What a wonderful person she is, we went over the song and reworded a couple things and then voila!

I also have to give credit to the boys in the band. They make a bed of music like no other that completes a piece of musical brilliance on anything I write!!
