"VAN HALEN dates are getting locked in. They'll be here with David Lee Roth," Triple M music reporter Nui Te Koha announced this morning on Triple M Melbourne's "Hot Breakfast", "VAN HALEN representatives were here with THE EAGLES during THE EAGLES tour in December."

He added: "They're recording a new album at the moment. [Guitarist] Eddie Van Halen says he doesn't want to do any shows until there is new material. And that new material should be out by August."

Former VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony told ABC News Radio that he's "looking forward" to hearing the band's new album, which is currently being recorded and will feature original singer David Lee Roth behind the mic for the first time in 27 years. Anthony said, "I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll do," adding that he has "no hard feelings" about being replaced by Eddie Van Halen's son, Wolfgang, in 2005.

Anthony said he has not spoken to anyone in VAN HALEN since the end of the band's 2004 tour, which featured a reunion with singer Sammy Hagar after an eight-year split.

Eddie Van Halen did not initially want Anthony playing on that trek either, but relented when Hagar insisted on it. The bass player was forced to take a pay cut and give up his rights to any future use of the VAN HALEN name. Anthony said, "The tour did not end as harmoniously as we would have liked it to."

VAN HALEN staged a successful reunion tour with Roth in 2007 and 2008, with rumors of a new album persisting since then. The group began recording last month with producer John Shanks.

VAN HALEN's last full album, "Van Halen III", came

Lace me up!
Grant me new year resolution!
I will admit. I want to run naked!
Naked as a jay bird, I love my nakedness! It is my sin I know. Nonetheless, I have learned you must have shoes.
I want to run naked in the Amazon jungle! However, I cannot forgo shoes to do such sin.
I am not a fashion diva. I am a sensible diva. In my lucid dream, I wear these shoes while braving the Amazon.

And at some point I fuck someone while wearing these shoes.


Oh these are hot and I think would make it through a tromp of the Amazon outback.


However, those are not my style. I am Amazon! I want Amazon!
I want THE shoe I will hunt until my resolution is nigh!
In the mean time, maybe these will do!

Ah no! these! Beg unto my soul let me run naked in these!
That so reminds me of my polar plunge in the Antarctica.
I so loved those boots provided by the NSA!
Back to Georgia, and what I need here….


Well really I want to imagine the nakedness in the desert.
What would do for Death Valley?
Well these would!


You know outside of flippers, Ahhh naked in the sea, I do remember the times!
Be I, 180 years old, I will dive into the sea again, God willing.
Please tweet me,

Luxing me! Yes! Yes. Yes.. Luxing me!

This is that shoe hunt. Day 443

These shoes are NOT sensible. Actually walking in them will be optional.

Wow! This is more difficult than I thought. I want decadent shoes!

Cool a feature that lets only the 3” and above strappy heel be present.

Yes, bring it to me machine!
Umm…


I am NOT satisfied!
And I am the happy happy deity.
Good but more, I want more debauchery for my sole to trod!

Ohhh My. Yes this is dissolutely doable, a 3 inch heal rain boot. I shall tromp the mud bogs depraved!

I keep slipping back to that loveliness of sensible .. Oh and these are so lovely. Yes, so lovely they are.

To keep the self-indulgent theme, I will need a horse, and a cashmere blankets. I want to ride naked free to the wind!
This one gets it. Oh yes, it does. Bind me tightly. Hobble me, they would. Who fetches my cart for me?
Ah, the loveliness returns. A wonderful sensible shoe and all well that returns to the world.

The nakedness of my sole is grand but these covers are so pleasant.
Yes, cover me! My armor is leather! And my rags are lace!

Oh though, the lick of glisten will do so well.
Yet, the fine subtleness of a noble clad sole is a desire, truly, yes, truly. ...

Witnesses reported that he was seen with an entourage of beefy Cubans boarding a boat with a winch. Sometimes mumbling, sometimes ranting odd phrases like "He'll get the right depth of sound." Some witnesses were worried he was going to do something drastic; but that his entourage was so hot-looking the witnesses knew that his entourage would never let anything bad happen to anyone. The witnesses reported that he kept ranting about some "blonde-hair freak" and how he was "going to get that damn sound, just like that persnickety blonde Russian wanted." It was also reported that Eddie kept saying he wanted "his damn keys" that nothing was going to keep his keys from the Van Halen "sound"

The piano recently showed up on the sandbar, about 200 yards from condominiums on the shore. The piano, which weighs at least 650 pounds, was placed at the highest spot along the sandbar so it doesn't get underwater during high tide. While officials aren't sure how it got there, they know it won't be going anywhere unless it becomes a hazard to wildlife or boaters. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee)



Happy B'day Eddie! Hope it was a dinger!
