It remains to be seen whether the Spingsteen magic will return this fall, but "Radio Nowhere," the first single from Magic, Bruce Springsteen's new album with the E Street Band that's due Oct. 2 (and Sept. 25 on vinyl) is available for free. Last week, the track leaked on the Internet, this week it's gratis on iTunes, with no preorder required. It's a hard driving rocker, complete with a Clarence Clemons saxophone break, that's meant to get Bruceniks up out of their seats at arenas, though on first listen it doesn't sound like the Boss' most distinctive work. Listen to it The Hype Machine or just go get it at iTunes.
And speaking of arenas, the Springsteen and E Street Band tour anouncement has just arrived. The tour starts on Oct. 2, then heads to the Wachovia Center here in Philadelphia on Oct. 5. (The rumor mill has another show being added the next night.) Tickets go on sale Sept. 8.
