After recently releasing a new track, Eminem has stirred rumors about a comeback, but he first has a memoir to publish. The new book, titled The Way I Am: A Tale of Self-Love, is expected by Eminem to comfort the world and explain his long and painful absence from our lives.
The memoir, to be released October 28, will contain long-winded details about his early careers as a “factory floor sweeper and short-order cook” will likely bring hope to ignorant and semi-retarded white Floridians who cite Eminem’s dirtball-to-greaseball Cinderella story as an inspiration.
The late Warren Zevon’s self-titled album will be reissued on November 11.
Originally produced by Jackson Browne and featuring celebrity members of the 1970s, this version will include fifteen unreleased tracks on a second CD.
According to Rhino,
[The second disc] contains 15 unreleased tracks, including different versions of every song on the album. Several demos capture Zevon alone at the piano, including a poignant take on Frank And Jesse James, a song he wrote while touring with The Everly Brothers. A demo Zevon recorded for Hasten Down The Wind features a full band. In addition, the collection presents alternate versions of Poor Poor Pitiful Me and Carmelita along with different takes from the sessions for Join Me In L.A. and Desperados Under The Eaves. The live bonus track of Mama Couldn’t Be Persuaded was recorded in October 1976 during an appearance on the Cleveland radio station WMMS.
