    Default The Cars

    It's official---The Cars new album will be released May 10th and is called Move Like This. The first single is called Sad Song and will be released next month. I've heard about a minute of it and snippets of a couple others from the album on their Facebook official page and they have the good ol' Cars sound. No mistaking it. If you're interest, here's the FB link.

    Here's a brief mention about the album release.

    I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am but I'm also very bittersweet about it. From what I hear, Benjamin will be on it in previously unreleased material. I am so thankful that they did not try to replace him but that the band is just the 4 remaining members and Greg is playing bass on the new stuff.

    Look what I preordered this morning, with bittersweet tears in my eyes.

    [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Move-Like-This-Cars/dp/B004NTMNB8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1298037705&sr=1-1[/ame]

    It's also being put on vinyl so guess there will be 2 copies being sent to my address.

    What I read lately in Rolling Stone mag is that Benjamin will not be present on the new album like was originally reported. Here's what was said this month in RS....

    ""I was aware that on half of the new songs, Ben would have done better than I did," Ocasek concedes. "But we never wanted anybody from the outside." Orr was actually present, in spirit, at many sessions: Hawkes played one of his old basses, now owned by Robinson. "Ben would have been there if he had been alive," Hawkes says. "That's the only way we could think about it."

    and:


    "And he's ready to do his best when it's time to sing "Drive." "People would

    just say, 'He doesn't sing it as good as Ben, but what the f*ck — he's the guy who wrote it.'"

    Anxiously looking forward to May 10th and I hear that the first song will be released next month.

    Here's the Rolling Stones article.

    And here's the pic of the remaining 4 Cars. These guys just crack me up and Ric & Greg never change.

    ETA: One of the comments at the end of the article, compares this to the Eagles reunion in 1994!!
