Your daily dose of national music news for Thursday, July 23, 2009...

• Conor Oberst is allegedly retiring his Bright Eyes moniker. I would like to suggest a new name: George Taylor.
• Sufjan Stevens is set to release a CD/DVD set for his movie The BQE. No word yet on a set of wings coming with the combo set.
• RZA is set to release his second book The Tao of The Wu.  It covers philosophy and spirituality and possibly how to talk with marbles in you mouth.
