ollapalooza returns this week as INCUBUS, JANE’S ADDICTION, AUDIOSLAVE, THE DONNAS and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE converge August 3 at Atlanta’s Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheater. Although many concerts this summer are tanking big time due to economic and perhaps even lack-of-artistic reasons, Lollapalooza is drawing decent-sized crowds at most of its shows. It’s easily the best bang and bands for the buck this summer. Get the Led NOW Dept. The LED ZEPPELIN CD/DVD packages “How the West Was Won” and “The DVD” are two of the best compilations of its type ever released. Both contain vintage performances from various eras of the band, including concert footage from 1969 to 1978. The sound and picture quality are so pristine that it makes one wonder why the band didn’t issue the shows when they were first recorded. The producers even purchased “bootleg” footage from collectors which has been painstakingly synched and placed throughout the shows. If you are a Zep fan, these are “must-haves.” These days in Chi-town it’s either cork (thanks to Sammy Sosa) or dorks (the Chicago Police Department). The latter recently had to apologize to rapperturned-actor ICE CUBE for its insensitive and politically incorrect handling of a recent crime. Last week, the Windy City’s finest issued a community alert bulletin stating that a suspect accused of “multiple sexual assaults” resembled Ice Cube, star of the great 2002 flick “Barbershop.” Coincidentally, Chicago Police spokesman David Bayless, who made the apology on behalf of the department, reminds some of a cross between former mayor Richard Daley and convicted nurse-hater Richard Speck.

Ahh … summertime … and the living is easy, especially when there’s CAKE and a CHEAP TRICK. The two groups are embarking on their “Unlimited Sunshine” tour that brings the rockers to Atlanta’s Tabernacle Sept. 2. Cheap Trick’s latest LP “A Special One” was released last week while Cake hasn’t had a new album since 2001’s “Comfort Eagle.” Where’s the Darling Family? Dept. The folks at Augusta’s new Stillwater Tap Room are to be commended for bringing acoustic and bluegrass music to our town. Several nights each week the club has live bands from all over picking and grinning, which is a nice alternative from the smoky, rock-oriented bars. This business risk was a big one and locals who complain that “there’s nothing to do in Augusta” should make the trip downtown and support this brave and very much welcomed addition to our nightlife. Turner’s Quick Notes The late JOE STRUMMER from CLASH fame has a documentary in the works. His final studio album is due in October … No, ACE FREHLEY is not on the current KISS/AEROSMITH tour and is recording his seventh album now … LYNYRD SKYNYRD and SAMMY HAGAR invade HiFi Buys Amphitheater in Atlanta August 2 … CARLOS SANTANA has raised over $2 million on his recent U.S. tour to assist the war on AIDS in South America … “Rush in Rio” from RUSH is due in late September. Turner’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Jeopardy A. Singers KELLY ROWLAND, MICHELLE BRANCH and NICK CARTER appeared on this NBC drama earlier this year. Q. What is “American Dreams”?
