Keenan and Glomski completed over a dozen successful bottle signings this fall at Whole Foods locations in Southern California, Las Vegas and Arizona. Both men have their own cellars and vineyards in the Sedona, Arizona region, and are also partners in Arizona Stronghold Vineyards. The pair can be seen on the latest installment of Wine Library TV. Confirmed Keenan / Glomski bottle signings (all at Whole Foods with address noted, and all subject to change): Punk Goes Pop 2 Track List AnnouncedDecember 18, 2008 Alesana- “What Goes Around…Comes Around” by Justin Timberlake Morrissey Sets U.S. Release DateDecember 18, 2008
The late Jerry Finn, who previously worked on 2004’s critical and commercial smash You Are the Quarry, produced Years of Refusal which is the last album he worked on. The single “I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris,” which Morrissey debuted during his sold out 2007 world tour, will precede the album. Long time band members Boz Boorer, Jesse Tobias, Matt Walker, and Solomon Walker play on the album, which also features a contribution from Jeff Beck on the track “Black Cloud”. Fans can pre-order “Years of Refusal” and get the opportunity to buy tickets through Ticketmaster 24 hours before they go on sale to the general public. On sale for select dates begins this Friday December 19. Tracklist Rob Zombie Confirmed For Halloween 2December 17, 2008
Zombie has repeatedly denied any interest in helming a Halloween sequel, despite the first one being the most successful of his three feature films to date. But he also said in a recent call with reporters that he wouldn’t necessarily want to produce a another director’s sequel either: “You know, it all depends. I mean, I don’t know what their plans are. You know, if I was gonna produce somebody else’s movie I would wanna know what it was about. I always get offers to make a ‘Rob Zombie Presents’ or produce things or, you know, shadow produce things where you actually don’t do any work and you just pick up a check. But I’ve never done it because I feel weird about putting my name on something that I’m not responsible for.” Zombie told Variety that the sequel to his remake will not resemble Halloween 2, the follow-up to the original 1978 horror classic. Zombie also explained why he decided to come back to the franchise after initially taking a pass, saying, “I was so burned out. (But) I took a long break, made a record and I got excited again. Now, we’ll be hauling ass, and that’s the problem making a movie called Halloween: If you come out November 1st or after, nobody cares. If it was called anything else, I’d be fine.” The next film on Zombie’s slate was supposed to be a biker flick called Tyrannosaurus Rex, but he recently revealed that he had yet to even write the script for that one. Zombie recently issued a box set of all the recordings by his previous band, White Zombie, and will release his fourth solo studio album next year.

Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan and his wine-making partner Eric Glomski have announced a new series of bottle signings at Whole Foods outlets in Northern California and Arizona, beginning on January 2nd in San Francisco. The pair will sign bottles from both Keenan’s Caduceus Cellars and Glomski’s Page Spring Cellars. Keenan told us that when the bottle signings started last year, he was initially hesitant to do them: “I was reluctant to drag the rock star element into it, and actually go and play that card to really sell wine, but when I actually saw people coming out, it was overwhelming, the interest that they had in the wine. I mean, they were there of course ’cause there’s this idiot rock guy signing things, but they were also there because they wanted to learn about wine. That allowed me to go, ‘You know what, stop trying to separate and compartmentalize the rock from the wine. Let’s just go ahead and put this together a little bit.’”
Fearless Records has released the tracklisting for the new Punk Goes Pop 2 record despite most of the bands not being “punk”. The album is set to be released on March 10th.
