Angels & Airwaves Week: Love Like Rockets |
A more typical AVA song, it does all the stuff we hoped it would, build, build and then build some more until the release at the chorus. We had the idea of trying to incorporate the "message from space" since it was definitely a historical moment. We thought about the impact that broadcast must have had on the imaginations of our nation, and the world, and wanted to capture some of that for ourselves. We knew we needed permission but kept stalling on asking, fearing denial, but NASA was actually really cool with us using it.
Just in case you didn't know Angels & Airwaves is former blink-182 & Box Car Racer guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge, Offspring drummer Atom Willard, David Kennedy from Box Car Racer and former 30 Seconds to Mars bassist Matt Wachter. Tom produced the new album. Preview some tracks from the CD, learn more about the band and CD and more

Gigwise has the report: Prince has launched an extraordinary legal clampdown against his own fan websites. The singer's three largest web communities, Prinfams, Housequake and Prince.org have all received legal notices to remove all "photographs, images, lyrics, album covers and anything linked to Prince's likeness."
Prince's demands � which include asking the websites to remove fan's own photographs of Prince inspired tattoos and Prince inspired number plates � have forced the web communities to create, PrinceFansUnited, in a bid to challenge the legal action.
Myspacers Vs Satanic 50 Cent |

Eagles Blackout Britney |
After our story posted, we received an update from Billboard, they have now changed their policy so The Eagles will head the Billboard album chart. Here is part of what they sent over: The Eagles' first new studio album in 28 years, "Long Road Out of Eden," takes a short route to No. 1 on The Billboard 200 after Billboard revised a significant chart policy today (Nov. 7). In consultation with Nielsen SoundScan, Billboard will now allow exclusive album titles that are only available through one retailer to appear on The Billboard 200 and other Billboard charts, effective with this week's charts. Prior to this, proprietary titles were not eligible to appear on most Billboard charts.
Early�Nielsen SoundScan numbers have the Eagles taking the top perch on The Billboard 200 with 711,000 copies sold, with most sales moved by Wal-Mart and Sam�s Club stores... Britney Spears' new Jive album, "Blackout," which would have been No. 1 had the Eagles' data not been reported, will open at No. 2 with first-week sales of 290,000 copies. Read more

Clay Walker Bands Against MS With Donation |
Genghis Tron Complete CD |
The album sounds�huge. I'll leave it at that. We've never been prouder. However, in lieu of spouting some self-serving hyperbole about achieving our twisted vision and/or making the best and most unique GT album to date, we'll let the tunes speak for themselves. Keep your eyes and ears open for a preview track in the near future.
Once our album comes out in February, we'll be spending the rest of the year bringing these new tunes to audiences everywhere.

Maiden Plan Major Bonus For Live After Death DVD |
"Brazil is one of our favourite places to play," says Harris. "The Brazilians are passionate fans since the first time we played there in 1985, during the World Slavery Tour. Until today, that's our biggest show ever in terms of audience and since then we have just had the biggest support possible from our fans everytime we came to Brazil.
Often we are asked what are the higher points of our career and the shows in Rock in Rio (1985 and 2001) always come to my mind. Not necessary to say that we are very glad to back and see our friends again - some, who knows, that we've met for the first time in 1985! We included the Rock In Rio 1985 show in the Live After Death DVD that we are producing to release next year
