SMALL FACES

Moby, Leftfield, the Chemical Brothers and Danny Saber have all done remixes to freshen up John Lydon’s first solo album, “Psycho Path,” due in June on Virgin Records. The bulk of the album was recorded three years ago, but held back until last year’s Sex Pistols reunion tour was over. In the notes about the songs, Lydon renews his old rivalry with the Clash, identifying them among those who “love to spout rhetoric without understanding a single damn thing they’re talking about.” . . .

Matt Cameron, fresh out of the recent Soundgarden breakup, is one of 19 drummers appearing on “Flyin’ Traps,” an album of instrumentals allowing various alternative-rock percussionists to step out and show their full musical talents. Among those contributing tracks: Stephen Perkins (Porno for Pyros), Josh Freese (Paul Westerberg and many others), Tim Herb Alexander (Primus) and J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.’s guitarist, who started as a drummer). It’s due in July.*
