This just in . . .

Forget the premiere of the next season of “The Hills” . . . the real drama is happening in C-U. A story has been making the rounds that Jay Bennett has reconnected with ‘the original cast’ of Titanic Love Affair and is planning an album of unreleased material in 2008.

Unfortunately, it turns out that it’s “news” to at least half the band's original members. In addition, posted on Bennett’s MySpace page is “Hanging On” - a track originally titled “Pain Inside” - written by TLA vocalist Ken Hartz in 1996 for his short-lived group Mutual High Life (with the underrated Rob Arrol on bass and Alex Moore on drums). Bennett contributed lead work and backing vocals. When reached for comment, Arrol, the only one remotely affiliated with the story who was willing to speak on record and who is enough of a media whore to not decline the request, said, “I’m just happy to be remembered as an ‘original’ cast member, even if I didn’t meet Ken until 1994 – shortly before the final TLA release came out.”
