This is how it goes. David Gray will put out an album, tour the United States once, and proceed to leave the country until two years later when he makes another album. Well, his one time through the states in support of his latest effort, Life In Slow Motion, makes a stop in Cleveland on Friday and though the price may be a bit much, you can't pass up the one chance you get to see him. That, combined with the fact that your mother's favorite new artist Aqualung is going to open the show, is more than enough to get you out of your dorm room, brave the harsh weather and make the hour long trip down the interstate.

News & Notes:
- Mariah Carey is giving acting another shot. After her box-office bust "Glitter" failed to impress anybody in 2001, the singer is looking to capitalize on her recent comeback by signing on to participate in "Tennessee," an indie drama that plans to begin shooting this spring.
- Two security guards were shot this past Tuesday outside of a Kanye West concert in Birmingham, England. The incident took place when a fan without a ticket made an attempt to get in by rushing the gate. The wounds to the security guards are reportedly not life-threatening.
- The Dave Matthews Band announced plans for their annual summer tour this week. G. Love & Special Sauce, O.A.R., and Matisyahu were among the acts tapped to open various dates throughout the 49-date trek. The tour will make its way into the Post-Gazette Pavilion on June 9 and 10.
- Madonna announced this week that she will be making her first ever festival appearance this summer at Coachella. She will reportedly be performing at the Sahara Tent with her full band on April 30. This announcement comes in the wake of her revealing plans to embark on a scaled-down U.S. tour later this year.
