TOMORROW ON OUTQ: 120 MINUTES, REDUX

I recently posted about the return of the 120 Minutes franchise to MTV.  Tomorrow on The Morning Jolt with Larry Flick, I'll be talking about the return of the show, as well as some of the artists who used to appear on the show who have new music out. Radiohead's King Of Limbs, PJ Harvey's Let England Shake,  R.E.M.'s Collapse Into Now, former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft's United Nations Of Sound and The Twilight Singers' Dynamite Steps (the band is led by former Afghan Whigs frontman Greg Dulli). I may also get to The Kills, the band featuring Alison Mosshart from The Dead Weather, who weren't around for the 120 Minutes era, but were recently featured on the newly launched 120 Seconds.

RICHARD ASHCROFT - "ARE YOU READY?"

I haven't had time to listen to former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft's new solo record, United Nations of Sound yet.  But I did have the great privilege to film a recent solo acoustic performance that he did at the SiriusXM studios.  Here are two songs.  First, the first single from the album, "Are You Ready?"



Next, Richard's version of The Verve's classic "Space and Time" from their best album, Urban Hymns.



Dude still has it.
