According to USA Today’s Listen Up blog, Ric Ocasek has a new Cars project in the works. It’s a live CD/DVD called The Cars Unlocked, due Oct. 17, taken from his own collection and featuring more than 20 unreleased performances and plenty of behind-the-scenes footage. “I don’t know if I’d call it a documentary as much as a really well-done home movie,” Ocasek said of the package, which follows the band from 1979 to 1986.

By the way, Ocasek also indicated that he hasn’t completely written off doing any future work with the Cars…which answers the question, “How well did his 2005 album, Nexterday, do?”
