BREAKING NEWS: “Mission: Metallica” UP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

“Mission: Metallica” the new promotion site for the new Metallica album is launched now. It appears the band launched it a day early as a mother’s day gift for the fans but I was not online at the time to get a chance to get on it (I was either watching a movie or playing Grand Theft Auto IV most of the evening yesterday).

Go here and enjoy:

http://www.missionmetallica.com/

It’s basically going to be a countdown preview, like videos of Metallica recording the new album in the studio, and after all the videos are uploaded, I believe they will upload the new album on that site for us all to hear before it’s out in September.

Cool Video: Spin Doctors performing yesterday’s Tulip Fest…

Couple of videos of Spin Doctors in Albany, N.Y. from yesterday! Enjoy! 🙂

Edit to Add: Does the audience look bored to death? Seems like they are talking throughout their set and not even cheering or even dancing to their music? Something tells me that Albany at that audience aren’t really Spin Doctors fans they are just there for outdoor entertainment?

Report: Miley Cyrus to make music with John Travolta?

Geez, the Miley Cyrus news just won’t end. It also seems that John Travolta wants to get back into music again. Travolta was a singer back in the 70’s/80’s, he went back into musicals by starring in “Hairspray” musical movie and now it seems that he is interested in making music with Miley Cyrus.

The article doesn’t really say if they are dueting on one song or making an entire album together. Kelly Preston, Travolta’s wife revealed the news to E!

More on it here:

As long as Travolta doesn’t make her take off her clothes to her bra and panties while dancing on stage together, it’ll be okay!

Report: Radiohead continues to slam former label EMI about Greatest Hits album…

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke does not like the idea of EMI releasing a Greatest Hits album for Radiohead. It wasn’t the band’s decision to release the Greatest Hits record, the label did it on their own decision. Thom complains that all those songs on their new Greatest Hits record aren’t “hits”. He never considered any of Radiohead’s songs “hits” or “singles”. Yorke admits there is nothing the band can do to stop the label from releasing it since Radiohead’s music is “public property”.

More on it here:

Yep, just the label’s way of making more money off a Radiohead so called “Greatest Hits” album. That’s the only reason for it.

Cool Video: Radio interview with AC/DC’s Brian Johnson…

Ac/Dc frontman Brian Johnson finally came out of hiding after all these years and was interviewed a radiostation called WMGK 102.9, not sure where the radiostation is from.

In the interview they talk about Ac/Dc working on the new album of course, no album title has been decided yet. Brian talks about that Angus is hard to recognize when he’s not in the schoolboy suit. Brian admits that Angus is a very shy and quiet man, gets real nervous when performing on stage. During the bands break, Brian admits this is the longest Ac/Dc has ever been out of music.  Brian says he’s been working on music and writing songs with other bands people don’t know about on the bands hiatus, he’s also wrote 3 songs for a movie that he and a comedian friend worked on, plus Brian says he’s just having fun and enjoying life while Ac/Dc is on a hiatus.

Watch the youtube clip to hear this entertaining interview! Good to have you back Brian!

Report: Tina Turner 2008 tour unleashed…

Tina Turner only has one New York date which she’ll be hitting a city called Uniondale, N.Y. Not sure how far is that from Albany.

She’ll be playing Boston, MA though and that isn’t really far from this area.

The tour listings here:

Good luck on trying to get tickets to any of her shows. I assure you everyone of them will sell out in 5 minutes or less.

Report: Madonna “Sticky and Sweet” tour listings unleashed…

Here it is, straight from her official website:

https://tickets.madonna.com/

As predicted, Madonna think she is too big and famous for Albany and Saratoga, but you gotta give credit for Neil Diamond willing to play Albany though.

Madonna will be playing two dates at Madison Square Garden so that’s the closest that New Yorkers will try to get a chance to see her live in person.

Would I go see her live? Probably not. I do like Madonna a lot but not enough to go see her in concert or start buying her albums. I do enjoy listening to her music ocassionally though.

Report: Beck releasing new album this summer…

Singer/songwriter Beck Hansen, or better known as “Beck” is releasing another new album this summer. No release date has been confirmed yet but this album is produced by some guy named Danger Mouse. The album title is not yet revealed and the album will include only 10 tracks. Beck has been made famous for his popular albums like “Mellowgold” and “Odelay”. In his younger days before his career, Beck started off as a folk singer playing small cafes and coffeehouses until he got big and famous. Now he plays music in all genres from acoustic folk, hip/hop, dance, rock, etc.

Beck’s latest album was “The Information” which was released back in 2006.

Billboard reports:

Not sure what genre Beck is heading to in this album because Beck does a different genre every album he does, kind of like Neil Young. I don’t care what genre Beck does, I love all the music he does. I have several of Beck’s albums in my CD collection and he is one of my favorite artists believe it or not.
