Band Remixed + Reinvented |
Universal reports: Sunswept Music album Big
Band Remixed + Reinvented is set for release on 5/23. Back in the 40s,
Big Band leaders such as Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey, Woody
Herman, Artie Shaw and a host of others were riding high. The bandleader
was the center of attention in every Dance club; ladies swooned and men
envied them. They were the hippest cats in the dance world!
For a while, other styles of music took
the place of the great bands but in recent years a new generation of clubbers
have re-discovered Swing and Jazz. Big Band Remixed + Reinvented was born
from the concept of combining the great music of the 40s with the technology
and the DJ of today. On Big Band Remixed + Reinvented you get 17 tracks
of absolute genius as DJ Spooky takes on Harry James, Chris Coco re-mixes
Pete Fountain, Chris Joss reclaims Woody Herman and Kidgusto tackles Jimmy
Dorsey. Every track is absolutely amazing. The music of the past becomes
the sound of today! [see full story for tracklisting]-

Ain't Enough to Artic Monkey |
Rockdirt reports: The People reports Arctic
Monkeys singer Alex Turner was barred from the Cavendish bar in his Sheffield
hometown after a doorman failed to recognize him - and didn't believe he
was over 18. "Alex is one of the most famous people in pop but he and drummer
Matt Helders had to queue," a source said. "When they got to the front
the bouncer grabbed Alex and said, 'How old are you, mate?' He told them
he was 20 but the bouncer said, 'I don't believe you - you got any ID?'
Alex said, 'I don't need ID. I'm Alex Turner. I'm the lead singer of the
Arctic Monkeys'. The bouncer said, 'I don't give a toss, you don't look
18 and you need ID'.[see full story for more]- Click

Meeting: Travis |
antiMusic reports: A lot of people work hard
to make antiMusic what it is. So with our 8th anniversary we felt it was
time to spotlight each writer so you can get to know them a little better.
Over the next few weeks we will be posting a small portion of each staff
person's new profile page. So let's begin and get to know Travis Becker
a little better.
Travis is from Richmond, VA and has been
with antiMusic since May 04. The first CD he purchased was Ministry's 'Psalm
69' and his first concert was Ugly Kid Joe in VA Beach. He lists Clutch,
Ramones, Sabbath, Rocket from the Crypt, Black Flag/Rollins Band, Hellacopters,
Avail, Bob Dylan, MC5, and The Doors as his Top 10 Favorite artist. His
musical pet peeve is "Lack of feeling. Anything mass-produced or contrived
really bothers me". His favorite part of antiMusic is "The vast array of
opinion on the even more vast array of music out there. This site serves
a grand purpose, educating all of the mouth-breathers out there about the
world of music beyond goddamned MTV and the goddamned radio." Click the
full story to learn more about Travis and discover which band name he defines
as"two synonyms for toilet," his favorite beers and a lot more!
