Sam Roberts Band New Album 'Collider' Inspired by Children's Toys Posted: 13 May 2011 02:00 PM PDT Filed under: News, Exclusive, New Releases Universal Music Canada Sam Roberts Band's new album, 'Collider,' is a rhythmic, sax-injected rock 'n' roll expedition. Their rock has always been vibey, enabling Roberts and bandmates guitarist Dave "Nuge" Nugent, guitarist/keyboardist Eric Fares, bassist James Hall and drummer Josh Trager to trip the songs out live. The album was produced in Chicago by Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron and Wine) and features Califone's Ben Massarrella on percussion, Antibalas' Stuart Bogie on saxophone and Land of Talk's Elizabeth Powell on background vocals. But the songs all took shape first in Roberts' basement, a menagerie of children's toys and recording gear overseen by Winnie the Pooh. After touring behind your last album, 'Love at the End of the World,' did you plow headlong into writing or were you too burnt out to think? I was really looking forward to writing after the next record. I don't know why. Sometimes I am burnt out, I have to admit, and it takes me months and months before I even want to consider sitting down to work on a song. But after 'Love at the End of the World,' I was really amped up to get in there and start writing. What I was going to be writing, I had no idea.

In the case of CSI: NY, which airs its Season 7 finale Friday at 9/8c, the producers tried to do both. "We looked at it and said, 'If this should not come back, can we be satisfied with what we left behind?'" executive producer Pam Veasey tells TVGuide.com. "And if it does, does [the finale] provide us with a lot of story to come back to? We believe we found the best scenario for all of that."

The lovely singer stopped by The Grove to chat with "Extra's" Mario Lopez about how her life has turned out. "It's very beautifully twisted," referring to her recent marriage to Fred Thiebaud, ex-husband of her best friend, the same best friend who had an affair with Twain's first husband, Robert John "Mutt" Lange. "I'm very grateful it's turned out the way it did." Twain is promoting her new memoir, "From This Moment On," and says she was ready to talk about her personal life. "I've always been, like you said, guarded about it, so I just needed to go the other way and find a healthy balance of sharing." Can she ever forgive her ex-husband and former best friend? "I think understanding is a better word." The singer is also excited about her new OWN show, "Why Not?" -- explaining how it came about. "I stopped touring because I was losing my voice, and I needed a break, so the series unravels all about me discovering what's wrong and what I have to do about it." As for her hidden talents, Shania says she loves "to cook. Fred thinks I'm extremely talented. I do love to cook. Don't get me started." Be sure to check out "Why Not?" on Sunday nights on OWN, and pick up a copy of Twain's memoir "From This Moment On," in bookstores now.
