Here are some other things to watch for during 2009:



NMA



The North Mississippi Allstars retrospective project "Do It Like We Used To Do," is coming out soon.

The two-CD/single-DVD package will be released on the band's own label, Songs of the South Records, on Jan. 20.

The two discs of music will highlight the band's live performances over their first 10 years together and a full-length documentary DVD on the history of the band. The documentary includes interviews with the Allstars as well as live footage of the band and influential musicians that helped mold them from the beginning. Lead singer Luther Dickinson says the retrospective: "represents survival for a regional art form and tradition that stubbornly preserves and evolves."

A special pre order of "Do It Like We Used To Do" is available at www.nmallstars.com.



The Boss



Bruce Springsteen has another album due out Jan. 27, just 15 months after his last release, "Magic."

He says on his Web site he was energized to put another album together after recording the song "What Love Can Do."

"It was sort of a "love in the time of Bush" meditation. It was a great track but felt more like a first song of new record rather than something that would fit on Magic. So our producer Brendan O'Brien said, "Hey, let's make another one right now!" I thought, no, I haven't done that since my first two records came out in the same year. And usually I don't write that quickly. But that night I went back to my hotel in Atlanta and over the next week, I wrote several songs ("This Life," "My Lucky Day," "Life Itself," along with "Good Eye" and "Tomorrow Never Knows") that formed the beginnings of our new album," says Springsteen on his Web site.

Springsteen will perform during halftime at the Super Bowl on Feb. 1 in Tampa, Fla.



In theaters



I'm looking forward to the new movie, "Star Trek," due for release May 8. This film chronicles the early days of James T. Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise.

And, for all those who love really stupid, physical comedy as in things like the films "Dumb & Dumber," "There's Something About Mary," "Shallow Hal," and the Three Stooges — you'll be excited to know Peter and Bobby Farrelly, who made the previously mentioned films, have gotten the green light from MGM to direct a stooges film. It's not going to be a biopic, but sort of a reworking of the stooges for a new generation and a new depression. As Peter Farrelly said in a recent interview posted on firstshowing.net, "When the economy started turning, we felt like the world could use a Stooges slapfest."
