The Boston Herald reports that Boston Red Sox officials have asked city lawmakers to approve Aug. 21 and 23 concerts at Fenway Park.

Former Smashing Pumpkins/Zwan frontman Billy Corgan [ tickets ] will release his solo debut, "Thefutureembrace," on June 21. He plans to open a supporting tour in July.

"I tried to sum up all my feelings about my life and the world around me in the most beautiful ways I could dream up," Corgan said in a statement. "It is easy to be negative, and much harder to find that silver lining behind the clouds of modern society."

Country singer Tim McGraw [ tickets ] has been named a spokesman for The American Red Cross' "Neighbors Give Life" national blood drive, which runs through Sept. 5.
