There is no more Toto! - 10 Jun 2008
Steve Lukather on his website a couple of days ago: "The fact is yes I have left Toto. There is no more Toto. I told the guys before the last leg of our tour."

…that We Are Scientists are the new Rubinoos until I just played the last track on their new album!
The bass, the vocalists singing the melody parallelly in two octaves, the guitar fills, the rich background vocals - it’s pretty similar. Not similar as in "Girlfriend" vs. "Boyfriend" mind you, but the Rubinoos-style is definitely recognizable.

What Year Is This Again? - 21 May 2008

You see, I figure that roughly, […]
MP3: No Hope - 07 Apr 2008
Here’s a song I wrote a couple of months ago. It’s a collaboration with my nephew, really. He’s 15, and he asked me to write a song for a school project. They were making a fictional short film about a dysfunctional family, and the song was meant to reflect the teenage daughter contemplating suicide. […]
