Tarja Week: Lost Northern Star |
This was composed in Ibiza together with Michelle and Kiko. I wanted to have a heavier song in the album with more operatic vocals. It took some days to come up with this song and in the end the song has 74 tracks of vocals!
I had a lot of fun in creating harmonies and strange sounds with my voice. Mel Wesson added more power to the song with his crazy sounds. The story in the lyrics is beautiful, even though the music itself is really massive. We definitely like Rammstein and as homage I sang the line "my soul burns" that you would find familiar if you follow the band.
The CD hits US stores on Feb 26th but you can preview tracks and learn more

Coldplay Ditch EMI? |
With two of their biggest acts, Radiohead and Sir Paul McCartney, refusing to put pen to paper on new deals in recent months, the Daily Star (yes, hardly a bastion of truth we know) quotes an unnamed source who believes Chris Martin and co are ready to follow Radiohead's example.
The source says that Coldplay "don't necessarily need a label" any more and that they are just waiting to "see what happens" before they consider a deal.

AC/DC Ready To Return Despite Angus Injury |
As we have previously informed, the main problem that has forced AC/DC to be on hold without releasing any albums or playing live, is an injury on Angus Young's knee, something that we can say that it's fine considering the information we are revealing. We know that the album is on the last stage of the mixing process, and the band have worked with famous producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange (DEF LEPPARD).
They are going to make several secret "showcases" for very small audiences (maybe 500 people venues) in Europe at the end of January. The will premiere the new song and also will be a warm up for the band

Dr Phil Jumps Off Britney Bandwagon |
"We had planned to tape a Dr. Phil Now show today, focusing not on the tabloid side of Britney's latest problems, but instead on the very serious issues surrounding this case. Clearly, it is not just Britney's family struggling to find a way to protect adult children who cannot be ordered or compelled to seek help.
"Because the Spears situation is too intense at this time, and out of consideration to the family, I have made the decision not to move forward with the taping at this particular time.

Death Cab Get Loud? |
In a recent Billboard piece, the band is promising a "curve ball" and though it will have a number of slower songs, the band is promising some surprises:
It's really weird. It's really, really good, I think, but it's totally a curve ball, and I think it's gonna be a really polarizing record. But I'm really excited about it. It's really got some teeth. The landscape of the thing is way, way more lunar than the urban meadow sort of thing that has been happening for the last couple of records. [It's also] louder and more dissonant

OK Go and Bonerama Team Up for EP |
"New Orleans is one of the last places in America where music is truly a fundamental part of everyday life," says OK Go singer Damian Kulash. "People get together on the weekends and parade through the streets just playing songs; 12-year-old-kids learn funk on the tuba; everyone dances. Life elsewhere in the world simply isn't as celebratory. If we allow the culture of New Orleans to die by leaving its musicians marooned around the country, America will have lost one of its great treasures."
OK Go and Bonerama will also team up for two benefit shows
