Something(s) Extra

Yours truly didn't mention a few other miscellaneous items of interest I picked up around the web.
If I were getting married, I'd definitely be going on the Rock and Roll Holiday Escape for my honeymoon. If only When In Rome were there to perform "The Promise" ad nauseum, it would be so perfect I'd have to call it Elysium.
You've probably heard about William Shatner's new album, Has Been, that comes out this fall; guest stars include Aimee Mann, Joe Jackson, Brad Paisley, Henry Rollins and Adrian Belew with songs written by Ben Folds and Nick Hornsby. What you haven't heard is William Shatner covering Pulp's "Common People."
Yes. That Pulp. Listen here. {Via slatch.com}
Apparently when you're in Vegas, praising Michael Moore on stage is considered a stage "antic" that is serious enough to cause a chunk of the audience to storm out and get Linda Ronstadt barred from performing at the Aladdin for good.
A belated happy birthday to you.
The Bill Shatner thing was funny. I'm a fan of all things Shatner (and Nimoy too), which reminds me- have you seen this:

we all know how much i love the brit pop scene. especially fey rockers like jarvis. i listened to shatner and i gotta tell you that it wasn't bad. wasn't great. kind of creepy. but very entertaining. i still don't know what to make of it. i'm still creeped out.
