Black midi are on hiatus, but frontman Geordie Greep has just announced his debut solo album, The New Sound, which is out October 4 via Rough Trade. “With recording The New Sound, it was the first time I have had no one to answer to,” Geordie says. “And with every impulse I had, I was able to completely follow it through to its conclusion. Being in a band (black midi), we often have this ‘we can do everything’ feeling, but you are also kind of limited in that approach, and sometimes it’s good to do something else, to let go of things.”

Early-’80s cable-knit-sweater-wearing new wave greats Haircut 100 only made one album with original lead singer and main songwriter Nick Heyward.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
