In Rainbows Fan Art

Here's a few fan made cover for Radiohead's new album...... enjoy!!!

Kylie's 2 Hearts

Kylie's new single is out.... and I love it!!! Very glam, especially the film clip.... I can see why some people hate it, but I think it's a grower. Nice to see her try something different after the electro-pop of her last 3 albums.

In Rainbows

Radiohead, the internationally renowned band, has taken the unusual step of telling fans that they can pay as much or as little as they like for the band's new album, In Rainbows.
It
In a break from industry tradition the UK band, famous for hits including Creep, Paranoid Android and Karma Police, has told fans "it's up to you" what they pay to digitally download the album.

This isn't the first time that an artist has opted to charge nothing for an album, but the move is significant because Radiohead remains one of the biggest bands in the world.
Radiohead is free to sell its album directly from its official website because it is no longer tied to a record label. Guitarist Jonny Greenwood tells fans on the website that the album is only available to pre-order from the website, where it can be downloaded on release on October 10.

The album is also available separately as part of a £40 box-set which includes the album on CD, two vinyl records, a CD with additional songs, photos, artwork and lyrics.

This is the first album I've actually been excited about in ages.... let's just hope they have decent servers come Oct 10....

Imagine Peace Tower

Here's a video of Yoko Ono describing the Imagine Peace Tower she has had built. She will be dedicating and turning the light tower on Oct 9th... it would have been John's 67th birthday...

New Kylie Song!!

I guess Mylo wasn't too happy when he found out that a brand-new song he wrote and produced for Kylie Minogue did not not make the final cut of the pop princess upcoming new album, titled "X."

But lucky for us, the Scottish DJ/producer decided to post the track as a free download on his MySpace page. It is a mid-tempo dance tune that embraces the sleek and sultry qualities that the pop singer is all about. I'm liking it. It would make a very decent B-side.

Kylie Minogue's tenth studio album "X" will drop in stores on November 27. First single will be "2 Hearts" that will hit radio on October 10.

Tour of Kayne West's House

Not much more to say... the man has expensive taste.

Darren Hayes' New Album

Here's a few preview tracks from Darren Hayes' new album "This Delicate Thing We've Made". I have great respect for this guy... obviously his coming out journey was quite painful, long and very much in the public eye. It's great to see new music from him with a more positive vibe... his last album was very dark. I've heard this album's got about 25 tracks and I can't wait to get it!

I Got Tickets For JT!!!

Madonna - The Beat Goes On

This is the first song to leak from Madonna's new recording session for her new album. It's Produced by Pharrell Williams who produced a heap of songs over the years for artists like Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani and Jay-Z.

After giving it a few spins it's really starting to grow on me.... not sure about some of the backing vocals, but gawd, its sounds great loud.... could definately shake my groove thang to this one.

Bear's Night Out

Not really sure what to make of this.... besides the fact that is medely is extremely choppy and badly edited together, the video is cheap and nasty, and the fact that there is only one hot guy in the band... Bearforce1 is a tad creepy, but oddly engaging.... I think the most disturbing part of the video is the "package" shots...

Ben Lee and the Naked Skateboarders

Here's the film clip that Ben Lee has to re-shoot... due to the fact that he actually had naked skateboarders in the streets of NY. Apparently the cops don't like that over there.... and yes, I do watch Rove.....

.... there should be more unicorns in music videos.

Madonna's Live Earth Performance

"Hey You"


"Ray of Light"


"La Isla Bonita"


"Hung Up"

Prince's New Single

Here's a preview of Prince's new single which you can download onto your mobile.... if you live in the USA that is. He offered up a different version of this song earlier this year on his website... funnily enough, for a song named "Guitar", that instrument seemed to be hidden in the mix. Now he's re-done it, and it sounds awesome loud, especially that guitar solo. This could be a huge hit... its nice to see Prince marketed properly for a change.

New Madonna Song!!!!

Hey You, Madonna's charity single for Live Earth is finally available on a special Live Earth on MSN page that you can access by clicking HERE.

Inspired by Live Earth, Madonna has written a new song titled "Hey You," which is available exclusively on MSN, free of charge, for seven days.
"Hey You" was produced by Pharrell Williams and Madonna and recorded in London.
Madonna will perform "Hey You" as one of the headliners for Live Earth U.K., joining the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Genesis, the Beastie Boys and other performers at Wembley Stadium in London on July 7, as part of the 24-hour, seven-continent Live Earth concert series.

Contemplating Lennon

Spent the morning pouring over one of my favourite collectibles, my original Rolling Stone magazine from 1981 - the issue devoted to the death of John Lennon. A bargain I picked up at a market for $8... I'd love to get it framed one day. Its a very disturbing read - news reporting from a time when news was picked up from newsman watching other tv stations - no instant internet news.... and news was graphic -

Hastings (the Lennon's doorman) triggered an alarm that summoned the police and he rushed to John's side. The anguished doorman gently removed Lennon's glasses, which seemed to be pushing in on his contorted face. He struggled out of his blue Dakota jacket and placed it over Lennon. Then he stripped off his tie to use as a tourniquet, but there was nowhere to put it. Blood streamed from Lennon's chest and mouth. His eyes were open but unfocused. He gurgled once, vomiting blood and fleshy material.

Reading this is like a time capsule - it reminds you of how much the world has changed, and still is changing. Imagine a newspaper being allowed to print the last moments of a celebrity in such a graphic manner.... the magazine is on newsprint, not a glossy page in sight. The whole edition is dedicated to John, including the last interview and photos he ever did.... not a single ad anywhere.

It makes you wonder sometimes if progress is needed....

Prince and Planet Earth

There's much speculation over this image posted at 3121.com... is this a new album, song or tour?? Recently some lyrics were posted behind the image:

Imagine holding Planet Earth in the palm of your hand
With no regard for your place of birth or claim to any land
The only thing between us now is the truth we understand
If Planet Earth was in the palm of your hand
50 years from now what will they say about us here?
Did we care for the water and the fragile atmosphere?
There are only 2 kinds of folk and the difference that they make
The ones that give and the ones that take
Just like the countless bodies that revolve around the sun
Planet Earth must now come into balance with the one that caused it all to be
Then we'll see kingdom come, so shall it be written, so shall it be sung
Imagine you could rid the Earth of anyone you choose
Which ones would you need the most and which ones would you lose?
Do you want to judge another lest we be judged too?
Careful now... the next one might be you
Imagine sending your first born off to fight a war with no good reason
How it started and what they are fighting for
And if they're blessed to make it home will they still be poor?
Pray for peace right now and forever more
Imagine

JT on Mads New Album!

British newspaper The Sun reports about Justin Timberlake busy writing songs for Madonna, after he revealed it himself on Hotfeature. The Sun says:

The former NSYNC star is collaborating with the Queen Of Pop on her forthcoming album, which is due out in November. Justin confirmed: "I have been working on some new music. But it's not for myself — I'm writing for other people. I’m working on some stuff for Madonna."

Justin headed into a West London studio yesterday with Madge.

He is in the country for a few weeks as he prepares to kick off the UK leg of his current world tour.

Madonna is famous for reinventing herself and this time her album will have a real hip-hop feel. She has lined up a Who’s Who of the genre's megastars, including Timberlake’s producer pal Timbaland to help her achieve R&B credibility.

Hip-hop legend Pharrell Williams is already working on at least four tracks and his fingerprints look set to be all over the new release.

Madge's last offering, Confessions On A Dance Floor, was a massive success, with Brit DJ and producer Stuart Price the main influence on the 2005 album.

There will also be some dancy Price-produced tracks on the new offering and she has also been joined by Chicago house DJ and producer Felix Da Housecat in the studio. A source told me: "Confessions was a worldwide smash — but this will be different once again. The last album was a credible disco record and Madonna wants to give hip-hop the same treatment this time. It’s not all hip-hop though, there are a lot of producers from a lot of genres in there. It could be her most ambitious project yet."

Prince to do Beatles??

There's rumours going around that Prince will release an album of Beatles covers... he's been covering a few in his Vegas concerts lately.... namely "Come Together" and "The Long and Winding Road".

Personally, I'd love to hear his versions.... anything to bring their music back is always a good thing. But, no one can ever know exactly what Prince is planning next... so don't pay too much attention to the rumours.
