Scratch My Back, a collection of interpretations of songs by other artists, is due from Peter Gabriel early in 2010.  The former Genesis front man is being up front about the project being decidedly non-Rock in nature by promoting it as 'Orchestra, No Drums, No Guitars'.  the same holds true for upcoming live performances of the material, the first of which will be staged on March 27 in London's 02 Arena.  The show featuring the album, which contains songs by Lou Reed, David Bowie, Neil Young and Paul Simon, may also include some Gabriel songs.  His web site is offering seats in the first 5 rows that include the DC, event laminates, and tour shirts @ $243 a ticket.
