Friday's Earful: Genesis w/ Peter Gabriel; The Hold Steady; Rinjo Cloudcast 

By: David Schultz

With Genesis being inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, the dormant reunion rumors with Peter Gabriel have once again sprung to life. Before they could gather steam, Genesis' original lead singer has doused all of the anticipatory excitement, definitively stating that no reunion will occur. Rather than just cast the normal aspersions on the reunion, Gabriel categorically listed the reasons why it won't take place: there will be no time to rehearse and Phil Collins isn't physically able to play the drums for an extended period of time. Gabriel may not even be able to attend the induction ceremony as he will be on tour supporting Scratch My Back, his album of covers that will be released on February 3.

PERHAPS THIRTY YEARS FROM NOW we will be all atwitter over a Hold Steady reunion. Keyboardist Franz Nicolay announced today that he will be amicably leaving the greatest bar band in the world to pursue his solo career. Questionable move for the curiously mustachioed one; hopefully we won't end up bringing up Nicolay's name in a conversation that includes David Caruso and Shelley Long.

HERE'S PART II OF RINJO'S CLOUDCAST with the Best Title Tracks of 2009.




Comments:
Peter Gabriel is such an arrogant asshat. He doesn't care about the fans who have waited for years for some kind of reunion. It's always Peter who kills the idea. Like it would kill him to sing some old songs for 20-30 minutes. I hope the others perform at the Hall of Fame without him.
