The World Of Music

Just been listening to a few of their songs on Myspace, like "You Can Talk To Me" and "Blinded by the Sun" - I forgot what a good band they were. Shame they broke up before releasing the second album. Judging by You Can Talk To Me, it should have been great. Anyone else like them?

Meldau hopes to conquer the world Something young, fresh and new has just hit the local music scene and his name is Dean Meldau. He is fresh from Hollywood where he spent two years studying music at the Musicians Institute, which is why his debut album is called h.i. - for "Hollywood Inspiration". "Right after high school I left everything behind for a dream," said Meldau. "When I got to Hollywood I was scared and excited all at the same time. The title track of my album was written in the first week I was there. "I was anxious and at times it got depressing, but I was struck by the normality of life there. Looking back, I think I could have done more with my L…

This is the cover for Death Cab For Cutie's Forbidden Love EP. Is it just me, or are there similarities to Shiver?

What do people think of them? You probably only heard of them if you're from Ireland or saw them at something like V or TITP. They're cool. Seen 'em 3 times now this Summer, last night was a cool show. If you don't know them check em out: http://www.directormusic.com http://www.myspace.com/directormusic

George Michael sets out to shock on his latest tour Controversial: George Michael has introduced the shock factor to his latest tour No stranger to controversy, George Michael's first tour in 15 years was never going to be a subdued affair. True to form, the 43-year-old star did his utmost to shock on the first night of his comeback tour, with an ill-advised political satire featuring cartoon bestiality. Sporting his trademark shades, designer stubble and a two-piece suit, the singer launched into a passionate rendition of his 2002 political track, Shoot The Dog. But as he belted out the anti-war number, which portrayed Tony Blair as George Bush'…

How I went from Take That to depressed recluse By GARY BARLOW Last updated at 22:50pm on 23rd September 2006 Reader comments (0) No one answered when I knocked on the door of bungalow 1C at the Beverly Hills Hotel. I hammered again, slightly harder, and the door came ajar. I could hear a voice inside, so I went in uninvited. Clive Davis, the legendary record company boss and the man responsible for my new solo career, was talking on the phone. It was the summer of 1996 and Take That had split a few months before. My first solo single, Forever Love, was ready to go, but Clive didn't like parts of my album and I had come to Los Angeles to try to win…

My N° 1 today (which I'm sure a few of you have heard) is World Wide Suicide by Pearl Jam.

Pop star Bjork is to rejoin her former bandmates in The Sugarcubes for a one-off concert in Iceland. The gig in November will mark the group's 20th anniversary, according to a statement on the singer's website. The Sugarcubes became darlings of the music press after they formed in 1986, and had a top 20 single in the UK with Hit in 1992. But the band split soon after when Bjork left to pursue her successful solo career. Her solo album, Debut, spawned five hit singles and earned the singer two Brit awards. Label benefit She has gone on to record four more albums, as well as two film soundtracks, and performed at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens…

Furious jazz fans are staging a protest outside tonight's (20 Sep 2006) Music Of Black Origin (MOBO) Awards after the genre was sensationally scrapped from the prize categories. The peaceful public protest will see hundreds line the streets outside London's Royal Albert Hall later today, where the ceremony is being held.

Beyonce Knowles, who leads the nominations with mentions in four categories, is also rumoured to be attending. A statement from the protestors insists, "The removal of t…

Music lessons are an IQ booster for young minds by JENNY HOPE Last updated at 00:29am on 20th September 2006 Brain beat: Music can help a child's education Giving your children music lessons could be one of the best things you ever do for their education, claim researchers. Unique brain testing shows how early musical training improves memory and IQ - within as little as four months. Even children as young as four years old can benefit, not only in playing and understanding music but also in developing other mental skills, say Canadian-based researchers. Experts say music should be routinely taught in pre-school and primary school to maxim…

I need some help with a song... Does anyone know the band that originally sang 'Shiver' - which was sung on Australian Idol last night (17/09/06)? It was quite popular on the radio around 1998 and possibly sung by Fuel (or any number of sound-alikes). It's a rock song - sounds a bit like Flood by Jars of Clay...

Hi, I put up a new track on myspace and I was hoping you would give it a listen and give me some feedback. The song is called "Oblivion," and it's sort of part whisper-y folk song, part shoegaze groover. I hope you like it: http://www.myspace.com/spencertricker Thanks, S
