The Fireman's stream to foment democracy in China

If you want to check out Guns N' Roses' new album before deciding whether to buy it, you can go the band's official MySpace site (http://www.myspace.com/gunsnroses) today through Sunday. You can stream "Chinese Democracy" in its entirety, listening the the band's first album of original material since 1991. (Actually the only original member is Axl, though keyboardist Dizzy was with the band during the recording of the band's "Use Your Illusion" albums.)

If the Guns aren't your style. Paul McCartney's project with Youth (called "The Fireman") is also available for streaming at The Fireman's official MySpace site (www.myspace.com/thefiremanmusic). The project is 10 years in the making — a long time, but not as long as the Gunners' 17 years.) The Fireman's album, out Nov. 25, is the 3rd studio album from the duo, but the first to feature vocals from the duo.

David Burger is the pop music/pop culture writer at The Salt Lake Tribune. He's been at several newspapers, including Scranton, Pennsylvania, the home of "The Office." Before that, he spent five years in the Coast Guard. There, on boring midnight watches on the bridge, he would try to keep himself awake and/or keep from throwing up by singing "Thunder Road" to himself while balancing a sextant on his nose. (He'd also look for drowning people, of course.) He also likes condiments, except when throwing up.
