Videos Of The Week
17.30 - This week it's a couple of "pot luck" videos! I have a collection of about 200 videoclips of Kasim Sulton singing and some of them on the server I haven't watched yet to find out which songs they are. This week the Videos Of The Week are two of these! All I do know is that they were taped when Kasim appeared at The House Of Guitars in Rochester, NY on 24th August 2001. The link is on the front page of KasimInfo.com.

Kasim and The New Cars
02.15 - In an article called "The New Cars Roll Off the Assembley Line" Kasim Sulton's original announcement was reported on MelodicRock.com yesterday. As well as repeating a lot of Kasim's e-mail, the article says:
"The full line-up is: Todd Rundgren vocals, guitar; Kasim Sulton bass, vocals; Elliot Easton guitar, vocals; Greg Hawkes keyboards, vocals; Prairie Prince drums.
That's quite a line-up by anyone's admission. Yes, I'll definitely look forward to new material from these guys, but I'm still not sold on their choice of name. At least they aren't trying to use the original Cars name. Perhaps I could suggest Second Hand Cars as an alternative?

The fact is, there are currently no definite plans for The New Cars to be touring next year.
We did record some new material, but beyond that, things are still being worked out.
I apologize for any confusion my misstatement caused.

NoblePR has a press release about this album here which has an interesting explaination by Todd Rundgren about why he chose these tracks. Kasim receives a mention in the description of Love In Action. In case it disappears at some point it says:
"One of the memorable things about it (that unfortunately you can't appreciate on the record) was the high kicks that everyone would do during the solo part. The last time we did that Kaz stepped on his foot the wrong way and broke his ankle, so there is a little bit of danger associated with that tune, particularly if you're going to do the high kicks…and the fans know what I'm talking about!" (The accident actually occured during Couldn't I Just Tell You!)
Kasim co-wrote the track Rock Love on this album.
Amazon.com are selling this album for $13.98 (plus shipping) here and TRBazaar.com are selling the album for $13 (plus shipping) here.

Kasim and The New Cars
18.00 - As stated below, Kasim's message today has generated a massive number of posts on various mailing lists and messageboards amongst fans of all the different artists involved (unfortunately the majority has not been positive). Below is a (large!) selection of comments from fans:

Kasim Sulton fans:
"I wish he wasn't working in Todd's shadow again."
"Can't wait to hear Kasim singing lead on Drive!"
"Glad he's taking a break from Meat Loaf."

Todd Rundgren fans:
"I've said this many times: Todd has the divine right to do whatever he wants both musically and to pay the bills. He owes us nothing.That being said, while I find the prospect mildly interesting, I can't help being disapppointed with this announcement."
"I'm happy as a clam. Will be saving vacation time and money for the tour."
"They should have just gotten toegther to make new music. On the tour, they could have played Todd, Utopia and The Cars tunes, along with the new tunes. It seems to me that would have generated a larger audience. But "The New Cars" just seems....stupid. Of course, I'll be there when they play in our area, but I still think it is odd."
"Certainly the touring band will be tight, just not sure what kind of music we can expect. My guess is power pop. If it can sustain itself, and allow TR to actually work in a band setting again, I am for it."
"Thank goodness the news is finally out! I was bursting out at the seams trying to keep this one a secret! I knew about it awhile back but was swore to secrecy. It's gonna be an awesome tour...going all over the world including New Zealand! All the players actually had to audition for the gig and thank goodness Kasim and Prarie made the cut!"
"I should think there would be quite a bit of financial backing for the project, that would be nice for them! I just still hold hope there might be a coupla weeks free they could do the Utopia tour too!"
"I think there can be no question that this is a money-driven thing. Similarly, as Todd is in the music BUSINESS, I don't have a problem with it."
"The Cars always were bigger than TR and Utopia. I wonder how The Cars fans will take that. Not sure they will immediately accept such a new line up. It sounds like a real new challenge for Todd! Although, I can't help finding it really really weird."
"It seems to me any tour under The Cars name would be predominantly, if not entirely, Cars hits. They had a whole lot of'em. How could any TR fan be excited about OH fronting a cover (or tribute?) band?"
""
"Well I am all for the lineup, the tour, and new material. I know many see this as an easy cash cow, but I disagree. It is not necessarily an easy sell. And the old Cars fans - generally not too much younger than TR / Utopia fans - are not about to pack the stadiums, even WITH Ric Ocasek at the helm. As always, it will come down to the material. If they have the goods, they'll get some airplay and some notice, and who knows, maybe even have a hit again. I do not see TR doing this unless it were to be fun for him. And as long as he is having fun, most of us will be too. "
"Let's hope that the new music gets some promotion instead of pure nostalgia being the motivating factor for the public."
"If Todd was forming a new band with Kasim, Prairie, Elliot Easton & Greg Hawkes, that would be very interesting. His first "real" band since Utopia... really, everyone he's played with since were basically sidemen. These guys would be more equals rather than sidemen, it would be more of a team effort. That would be cool. This "New Cars" thing, however, is NOT that, at least as it's presented now. This is Todd (and Kasim) joining someone else's band as replacements, and that means Todd & Kas have less standing in the group than the original members. I find it hard to imagine Todd being comfortable with that for long, even if it's just a "money gig"."
"I am slightly sceptical too but will reserve judgement til it happens and can see/hear for myself."
"I think a band with Todd, Kaz, Prairie, plus Easton and Hawkes should be called The New Utopia."
"I'm really looking forward to the new material. I'm not expecting it to sound like The Cars, though. I mean, Todd and Kasim singing in a band together? Kinda sounds like an old favorite of mine... rumored to tour in '06...! Still, I can't help knowing how frustrated I would feel if they played all Cars stuff and only a couple TR or Utopia tunes live. Kind of like going to see McCartney play Badfinger tunes."
"Hard to imagine Todd singing Ocasek style-- Todd's such a better singer. Even more so, Todd would be the Rhythm guitarist-- Elliot Easton was The Cars' lead player and still is a great guitarist-- and Todd has always been out front as the Lead Guitar God. All across the board, this feels like a demotion for Todd."
"WOW, I know our hero love$ to tour,but now it i$ $afe to $say he love$ money more than hi$ mu$ic. I for one am not excited by thi$, and doubt thi$ will be a long tour, be$ide$ what about The Car$ fan$, will they buy thi$ crap???????"
"I would like this a lot more if this was a "new" group called something other than The Cars. (ie. The Autos, or the CarVets...or as someone else posted Autopia.)"
"With Todd, Kas and Prairie, this would seem to be more of a Todd-based tour than Cars-based ..."
"I can't see why this project will see them out on the road for all of next year, no doubt the tour will venture out of the states which would add on at least a couple of months. Might be good if this tour gets Todd to places he hasn't visited for along time (or at all) like Australia for instance. I'm waiting for Todd to sell the idea, I'm not currently convinced this is a good move and would prefer to see a follow up cd to Liars which I thought we was getting next year."
"Would any of you be excited about "Ric Ocasek's Utopia"?"

The Cars fans:
"I don't really know what to make of this. Somebody has to stop them. You'd think Ric wouldn't be too happy that they're using HIS lyrics, HIS music, and The Cars' band name. Heh, the best we can do is wait it out and see how much damage is done."
"Kasim is a great guy and stellar musician. The show w/Todd Rundgren recently was one of the best I've ever seen (and yes I've been a huge fan of The Cars as well), and I've seen plenty in the last over 20 years. I'm sure Ric has to give his blessing for all this to occur, and I don't think Todd would do it without that (I could be wrong, of course). Of course you can never recreate The Cars, but give this a chance before you judge it. "

Meat Loaf fans:
"If Kasim tours with The Cars all next year, does that mean he won't be on the Bat3 Tour?"

"I've managed to make some pretty good progress on a bunch of new songs. Last time I was in London I had mentioned on my blog that I was working with Phil Thornalley and I'll be putting up a clip of it on KasimSulton.com over the next few days, please check back soon"!

Kasim and The Cars????
08.30 - It doesn't mention Kasim but from IcebergRadio.com:
Todd Rundgren & Elliot Easton confirmed for new version of The Cars.
The rumors are true, and The Cars will ride again. Todd Rundgren and The Cars lead guitarist Elliot Easton have joined together in a new lineup of the band, and they've already started working on new material together. If all goes well, the plan is to release a new greatest-hits album with some new songs next year, and then to tour, but no dates have been announced. The rest of the band hasn't been set, and it's not known whether The Cars drummer David Robinson and keyboardist Gregg Hawkes will take part.
Cars singer-guitarist Ric Ocasek has already told us that he's not interested in a reunion, but he won't stop his former bandmates from playing.

Kasim helps high school produce a musical
17.15 - According to an article in the Wausau Daily Herald today Kasim helped a school obtain permission to use some Meat Loaf / Jim Steinman songs in their musical, Rock "n" Roll Dreams. The whole article is available at the link above but the part which relates to Kasim is:
"Acquiring the rights to Meat Loaf's songs is a story in itself.
While performing in his own band, Niskanen became acquainted with Kasim Sulton, who has played bass guitar with a string of A-list rock stars that includes Joan Jett, Cheap Trick and Todd Rundgren. He also is Meat Loaf's musical director.
Last spring, Niskanen e-mailed Sulton with his idea for the play and asked the rocker to help him secure the rights to perform Meat Loaf's songs.
"He took the idea into a meeting the following week with Meat Loaf and Meat Loaf's songwriter-partner, Jim Steinman," Niskanen said. "They both loved it."
From there, Niskanen and his students were off and running.
"
Many thanks to Debbie for this link.

(It was Eric Gardner who orginally denied that Todd was part of this project.)
A post by another fan also said that Todd touring as part of The Cars was mentioned on a radio station in the Los Angeles area recently.

Kasim's 25th wedding anniversary
02.00 - Congratulations to Kasim and Laurie for their 25th (silver) wedding anniversary today!
This is how their marriage was reported in the March 1981 edition of the Utopia Network:

Kasim Sulton

The words of The One Sure Thing seem very appropiate today:
If I told you I’ve been thinking that sometimes I just want to fade away
Would you worry for a minute and tell me there are times you feel the same
Would you smile and reach for my hand, put your arms around me whispering, “this will pass”
When I wish that I was stronger will you say that I’m as strong as any man?
When I’m filled with indecision will you help me just to choose as best I can?
If I’m lost with nowhere to go, crippled and convinced I am all alone
That’s when you say, “I’ll be your everything, I will be your heart and soul
I’ll be The One Sure Thing in a world that’s grown so cold”
Yes, it’s cold

When you’re running out of purpose nothing ever seems to go as planned
When you feel you’ve reached your limit and all you want to do is understand
I’ll be there to offer you light, tell you everything’s going to be all right
That’s when I say, “I’ll be your everything, I will be your heart and soul
I’ll be The One Sure Thing in a world that’s grown so cold”

If you told me you were thinking that sometimes you just want to fade away
Well, I might worry for a minute and tell you there are times I feel the same
I’ll be your everything I will be your heart and soul
I’ll be The One Sure Thing in a world that’s grown so cold
I’ll be your everything, I will be your heart and soul
I’ll be The One Sure Thing you can count on when you’re old
When you’re old

(In case you haven't seen it, the front page of this website has a festival feel to it today too!)
