Slammed |
Contact Music reports: American travel writer
PAUL THEROUX has slammed BONO's poverty awareness tactics - claiming the
U2 star has no idea about what third world countries really need to tackle
their problems.
Theroux, who has written extensively about
Africa and penned the travel memoir DARK STAR SAFARI, is concerned Bono
is doing more harm than good by "badgering people for money" when education
is the real key to Africa's redemption.

Week |
Morris + King Company reports: eMusic, the
number one independent music service, today announced the addition of the
millionth track to its catalogue. The track is a live version of the Pixies
classic Here Comes Your Man, off of their forthcoming digital-only album
entitled Hey, and will be exclusively on eMusic until January. The significance
of this digital music milestone is amplified by the fact that the first
MP3s to be legally sold on the Internet were on eMusic in 1998 by Frank
Black and the Catholics, whose frontman, Frank Black, was also a founding
member of the Pixies. Those two MP3s, "All My Ghosts" and "King and Queen
of Siam, were the first in eMusics catalogue, which is now the largest
collection of independent music in the world.
To celebrate the addition of the millionth
track, eMusic has launched Pixies Weeka week celebrating the famed independent
band and tracing the history of their music from their formation in 1986
through today. For Pixies Week, eMusic will post a new Review of the Day
exploring a new Pixies title each day of the week; and its New and Noteworthy
homepage will be loaded with the music of the Pixies and Frank Black. [see
