Bypassing a reality game-show, ala INXS, Journey scours YouTube to find a replacement for lead-singer Steve Perry. The result, Arnel Pineda, a 40-year-old Perry sound-alike from the Philippines. Journey’s new record with Pineda, Revelation, is out today. (The New York Times) Stunning, amusing and fantastic.

Update: Nice video segment from CBS on Journey and the “Information Superhighway”
