The sweet ‘n’ safe harmonies of Eagles’ relatively well liked latest gets a black & white video (no color = the best makeup money can buy). Our fearless bird men traverse Tatooine-styled desert dunes and come upon a most glorious surprise: a stripped hangar equipped with instruments meant for rockin’! And later, the action takes us to a campfire with just the guys and their guitars. If you think it’s all sorta boring, don’t feel bad — they don’t look too thrilled either.

Baby boomers of the world unite ? Eagles are flying again! (Yeah, sorry for that.) But seriously, time to put the Best Of collections on hold (step. away. from. the. turntable.), because “How Long,” the single from Long Road Out Of Eden, the first album of new Eagles material in almost three decades, has surfaced on radio and MySpace (with video premiering Sunday). The three-minute tune’s an inoffensive, Wilburys-rambler about rockin’ yourself to sleep: Won’t blow minds, but does include rather gothy lyrics (“like a bluebird with his heart removed / lonely as a train”). Plus, it’s just nice to hear those smooth-as-Coors voices blending to sing something other than “Desperado” or “Hotel California,” no matter how rad a version.

The deets? The “How Long” single and Long Road Out Of Eden pre-orders are available Monday, 8/20 via Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, and the Eagles’ web site (Yup, that Corgan-esque scenario offers a pretty solid chance of picking up a bag of Cheetos with your new tunes!) The site/those chains, will also sell the album, due in late October.

Time to Don those Hotel California tees. Via The Baltimore Sun:

After nearly 30 years, California’s classic rock group the Eagles may soon release their first album of all-new music.

Founding member Don Henley said during a private weekend concert that the band was nearing completion on an album of all-new material, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported on Tuesday.

“It’s coming out in 60 to 90 days, if we don’t kill each other first,” Henley told the crowd Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Did you guys make enough money on your last reunion tour? OK, we’ll admit it. We like one Eagles song. Oh wait … that was Henley solo. Don, go plant some trees. Your glory days are behind you. Take a note from Paul Simonon.
