Briefly: Black Crowes, Britney Spears, Vegoose, 'Concert for Diana'

Black Crowes vocalist Chris Robinson and his brother, Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson--who last year mounted an acoustic tour--will offer up a new live album next month.

Due out July 10, "Brothers of a Feather" was recorded during the duo's 2006 outing, which they billed as "Brothers of a Feather: An Acoustic Evening with Chris & Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes." Material on the set was culled from the pair's three-night run at The Roxy in Los Angeles.

On Sept. 4, the Robinsons will release CD/DVD edition of "Brothers of a Feather" that will contain the 14-track audio CD that hits stores next month, along with a 20-track video DVD.

Britney Spears is apparently working on a new album, and is asking her fans to vote on a title for the forthcoming set.

The five titles from which fans can choose, according to Spears's website, are: "What if the Joke is on You," "Down Boy," "Integrity," "Dignity" and, inexplicably, "OMG is Like Lindsay Lohan Like Okay Like."

Both Spears and Lohan have been fixtures in the pages of tabloid newspapers over the past year. Lohan is currently in rehab; Spears finished up a stint of her own earlier this year.

The third-annual Vegoose festival will take place Oct. 26-28 at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, according to Superfly Productions and A.C. Entertainment (also the creators of the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival). As was the case last year, the event will also feature a spin-off component, dubbed Vegoose at Night, which will comprise a series of nighttime concerts at other venues throughout the city.

The initial lineup of confirmed acts and ticketing info will be announced in the coming weeks, according to organizers. Last year's event featured The Raconteurs, The Killers, Chan Marshall, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, The Black Crowes and others.
