Here is a news blurb I got from ContactMusic:

GABRIEL JUNIOR KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS

Rocker PETER GABRIEL only sings songs his three-year-old son ISAAC likes – or the toddler complains.

The former GENESIS frontman is convinced his son’s musical taste is already finely developed, as he communicates his preferences all the time.

He says, "(I sing) anything rhythmic because that amuses Isaac.

"He’s very opinionated about his music… ‘I don’t like this song! Play this one again!’"

Per Tony Levin’s website – the RESONATOR TOUR will be starting this spring! Not all dates are announced yet, but some are – check the site often for updates! The new CD, "Resonator", will be officially released by Narada on April 4th.

Jim Weider band has a show coming up at the Ram’s Head in Anapolis, on Feb 18th. After that it’ll be band rehearsals for the Tony Levin Band, cause we’re hitting the road from the CD release on April 4th. I’ll post the shows, of course, as they’re booked. Italy shows, in early May, are just about booked now. We’re looking at more of Europe for May, with U.S. touring in April and then June onward.

Peter’s topic at the conference is "The World Flattens". What does he know that we don’t??

More than 900 corporate, scientific and artistic leaders will converge in Monterey this week for an invitation-only event whose very title — Technology, Entertainment, Design — reflects the agenda and fantasies of Silicon Valley.

Attendees will pay $4,400 to attend the event, which opens today and runs through Saturday. TED’s place in tech history was established the first time it was held, in 1984, when Apple Computer showed off its new Macintosh.

Other speakers include music industry innovator Peter Gabriel and former Vice President Al Gore, who has reinvented himself as one of the forces behind San Francisco’s pioneering grassroots video startup, Current TV.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21 /PRNewswire/ — Nearly 55 of the biggest names in music deliberate on the current state of the industry, work/life balance, and their personal inspirations in the revealing new documentary ALL WE ARE SAYING, premiering on SHOWTIME on Wednesday, March 8 at 8 p.m. PT/ET. The film is actor/director Rosanna Arquette’s follow-up to her widely praised directorial debut, SEARCHING FOR DEBRA WINGER, which premiered on SHOWTIME in 2003 and featured Jane Fonda, Salma Hayek, Sharon Stone and others, discussing ageism in the mostly male-dominated entertainment industry.

Favorite quote from the news item:

David Crosby on how A&R reps at the present handful of media conglomerates " … wouldn’t know a [good] song if it flew up their nose(s) and died."

Ladies and Gentlemen, Start your TIVOS! Thanks, StacieDee!!
