Few names in music are linked with artistic integrity as often as Steve Albini's. And few folks wouldn't know artistic integrity if it started eating their eyeballs quite like Scott Weiland. Yet ying and yang have come together to birth, yes, the next Scott Weiland solo album.

As Weiland noted in a recent interview with kindred spirit Howard Stern, he's currently recording the follow-up to 1998's 12 Bar Blues with Mr. Albini and No Doubt drummer Adrian Young [via Idolator].

And yes, Weiland's publicist has confirmed that everything in the previous sentence is indeed true. (Remember, Steve Albini produced a Bush album back in the day.)

The Weiland opus is tentatively due for November release. Don't know about you, but I sure hope he sings about masturbation on this one too.

Ask Albini what the hell he was thinking when Shellac turn up at a European venue near you. Their recently expanded touring itinerary lies just after the jump.

And OMG, and did you hear? Stone Temple Pilots have reunited and they are touring all over this spring and summer like it's their job. Which, um, it is. Pardon me while I ceremonially crank that "Vasoline" MP3 I got off Napster when I was 16.
