Singer Gwen Stefani plans on returning to her roots after her new album “The Sweet Escape” hits stores in December. And no, I’m not talking about her sixteenth-century-French-aristocracy-wig-hued hair — Gwen wants to reunite with her former band, No Doubt. She tells The Sun,

“I don’t think I will make another solo album… I definitely feel myself going back to No Doubt after this to do a new album.”

If they’ll have me, she means. Those sunglasses alone might have sealed the deal on her ever setting foot in a recording studio with No Doubt again. And after watching the video for “Wind It Up” last week, I’m confident that No Doubt would be better off without her. Hell, even my band is better off without her. And my “band” is pretty much my retarded cousin Jimmy playing the harmonica and the drums — at the same time, no less — and then me on the washboard and jug. Alternately, of course. It’s all improvised. Very “organic.” I don’t know that it qualifies as actual music per se, but I can guaran-damn-tee it’s way better than a yodeling dance track inspired by “The Sound of Music.”
