UPDATE: Here’s the latest on the lineup for the show

I’m obviously biased here but I think Rooney has the best album title ever :) Here’s the title track which you can actually download for free if you picked up a download card at one of their shows. It’s awesome! (and that’s my non-biased voice speaking :)

Also, they sent their first broadcast yesterday…

James Frey, controversial author of A Million Little Pieces has a SayNow number. For those who don’t know about him, there’s a great piece on him in the current issue of Vanity Fair.

What’s it like to write a mega-selling memoir, then become a household word for “liar”? Was James Frey’s A Million Little Pieces an ex-junkie’s con job, part of a proud literary tradition, or just the standard hype of an increasingly embattled publishing industry? In his first U.S. interview since Oprah nailed him, in 2006, Frey tells his version of the story…

While the Vanity Fair piece is the first interview he’s done since 2006, you can actually hear directly from him by calling. He’ll be sending updates about his upcoming book and whatever else he wants to talk about.

You can also listen to messages other people have been sending him over here.
