SUPER FLY:

What promises to be the most unusual collaboration of the year? Could it be Mojo Nixon’s proposed new band, which includes ex-X leader John Doe and the Beat Farmers’ Country Dick Montana? Nixon is calling the congregation the “world’s first cow-punk supergroup.” . . . The B-52’s’ Kate Pierson has cut a duet with Iggy Pop for his upcoming album. . . . I.R.S. is releasing a live Squeeze album, titled “A Round and A Bout,” which will feature such classix-trax as “Tempted,” “Is That Love,” “Black Coffee in Bed” and “Pulling Mussels From a Shell.”
