Paul Banks has been performing as Julian Plenti since before Interpol was even formed. On August 4th, Julian will be releasing his solo album entitled Julian Plenti Is…Skyscraper. The album has been an off and on project for years now. Some of the songs were written as far back as ten years ago.

I sure hope this Julian Plenti is as good as Interpol’s Paul Banks.

According to Rolling Stone, Wilco has decided to keep their album title as simple as possible. In late June, the band is set to release their seventh album, titled “Wilco (The Album)”.

In June, Wilco will finish up their shows in Spain and make their way back to sweep the states.

At least they didn’t put out “Wilco (The Song)”….oh wait, its first on the album.
