Jon Thedore klar med inspelningen av Zach de la Rochas skiva

Så, alla som trodde att Jon skulle krypa in i ett hörn och spendera resten av tillvaron snyftandes i fosterställning får nu på tasken med dessa nyheter. Inte nog med att RATM har börjat få ont om cash och kör upp en reunion, nu har även Zach fått den produktiva tummen ur efter misslyckandet med att göra musik med Trent Reznor. Pitchfork meddelar:

Rage’s Zack de la Rocha Completes Solo Album
That’s right: today comes news, via Billboard.com, that ex-ex-Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack de la Rocha has finished his very first solo record, a labor of love Zack has been attacking since Rage initially split back in 2000.

De la Rocha collaborated with Golden stickman and one-time Mars Volta/Royal Trux drummer Jon Theodore on the LP and recorded some of it at a studio belonging to acousti-surfer-dude Jack Johnson. Zack doesn’t have a title for the record and is still considering his release options, so no word yet when he’ll rally ’round your family with this pocket full of new songs.

It’s also unclear whether post-millennial de la Rocha collaborations with DJ Shadow, ?uestlove, and Trent Reznor will make the LP. Billboard.com, however, quotes a source saying that Zack’s first solo foray sounds like a mix of “Led Zeppelin and Dr. Dre. Some of it has the power you’d expect from him in Rage.” So there’s that.
