Spinal Tap!

Gettin' back together:
Spinal Tap has reunited several times since the film, but hasn't for a number of years. For the band — whose last album was 1992's "Break like the Wind" — the occasion warranted a new single: "Warmer Than Hell."

Reiner provided a sneak peak at the lyrics: "The devil went to Devon, it felt like the fourth degree/ He said, `Is it hot in here, or is it only me?'"

The director said the new short film explains what the band has been doing with their lives lately. Nigel has been raising miniature horses to race, but can't find jockeys small enough to ride them; David is now a hip-hop producer who also runs a colonic clinic; and Derek is in rehab for addiction to the Internet.

Planet Gore weighs in:
In an earlier post, I mocked the line-up of lame 80s bands that are headlining the upcoming Live Earth concerts.

Little did I know that Al Gore was just playing rope-a-dope with me.
Yeah. And just you wait and see. He'll likely add Mims to the line-up too!
