Warren Haynes has donated a live version of Bob Dylan’s “Masters of War” to HeadCount as part of the nonpartisan organization’s voter registration efforts. The song was recorded at a HeadCount benefit held at Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre shortly before the 2004 general election and finds Haynes playing alongside Ray LaMontagne, Gomez’s Ben Ottewell and Jerry Joseph. The benefit also featured performances by Lamontagne, Gov’t Mule, Gregg Allman, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Gomez and Stockholm Syndrome, among others.

The song can be found at www.muletracks.com. All proceeds from the song will go directly to HeadCount and the organization’s voter registration efforts. Haynes’ wife Stefani Scamardo is also a member of HeadCount’s Board of Directors.

LCD Soundsystem mastermind James Murphy has confirmed to NME.Com that he plans to release classic-rock sounding record on his label, DFA. Murphy has gone to great lengths to bridge the worlds of electronic and rock music over the past few years. LCD Soundsystem frequently tours as a full band, often sharing the stage with indie-rock acts like Arcade Fire. For his new classic rock project, Murphy plans to play bass alongside LCD Soundsystem drummer Pat Maloney, as well as former Hockey Night members Paul Sprangers and Scott Well.

“There's this rock band [I'm in], arguing about what name they are," Murphy told NME.Com. "We've gone back and forth for months, there's no way to say [what the band name is]. Pat and I are the drummer and the bass player [respectively].”

In addition to his production work, Murphy hosts a regular disco party at New York’s Santo’s Party House. He is also currently in the midst of a European tour.

String Cheese Incident’s Kyle Hollingsworth will spend Halloween with The Motet. The keyboardist will join The Motet on the road for a sprint through his home state of Colorado, including stops at Ft. Collins’ Hodi's Halfnote (10/29), Boulder’s Fox Theatre (10/30) and Denver’s Cervante's Masterpiece Ballroom (10/31-11/1).

Throughout the run, The Motet and Hollingsworth  are expected to perform the music of Talking Heads with the aid of Deep Banana Blackout guitarist Fuzz, vocalist/percussionist Jans Ingber, vocalists Liza Oxnard and Carrie Sangiovanni, keyboardist Joey Porter and bassist Paul McDaniel. In addition to his various solo bands, Fuzz recently played a series of shows with former Talking Heads members Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth as Tom Tom Club.

“Talking Heads’ Remain in Light was the first CD I ever bought,” Hollingsworth recently told Relix. “Either that or David Byrne/Brian Eno’s My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. I would get high and listen to that album forever and it was so great, but I think through the Talking Heads, and the percussion they were doing, I discovered Latin and salsa music, and from there it kind of bridged its way into world beat.”

The Motet Trio will offer a set of its own material at Cervante's Masterpiece Ballroom after the group’s Talking Heads celebration. In addition, The Motet will appear at Live Oak FL’s Bear Creek Festival on November 14.
