The legendary band AC/DC will hit the road and globe trot on an 18 month tour in October, their first since 2001. The news was broken by Rob Light, managing partner at Creative Artists Agency, at the Intl. Assn. of Assembly Managers' conference and trade show. He didn't reveal any other details about the tour, but it was safe to assume they'd be on the road to promote their "Walmart only" album this fall.

The AC/DC Wal-Mart exclusive is about to be thunderstruck as US stores prepare to bring in stock of ‘Black Ice’ from outside the USA. One independent chain told Undercover News that, "we have been able to order Black Ice in from Argentina for $8.25 per unit and will be able to sell it for less than the Wal-Mart price".

It made headlines recently when AC/DC guitarist Angus Young told the Telegraph that the band’s music isn’t on iTunes because "We don’t make singles, we make albums."

One problem with politicians is that when problems they create come to a head, they typically feel this irresistible urge to DO something, rather than to UN-do something, or to simply back off to avoid exacerbating the situation. Too often, that which they end up doing has very little connection to the cause of the crisis, but plays well in the press and superficially makes everyone feel better. Bills that are rushed through Congress under duress are never studied eno... MORE
Columbia Music only likes Wal-Mart-shopping-Americans. Columbia announced this week that the new AC/DC album, the band's first since 2000, will be exclusively available from Wal-Mart stores in the US.
