MICHAEL JACKSON RECORDING WITH WILL.I.AM

FABOLOUS POSTS BAIL, FACING INVESTIGATION
New York City officials charged FABOLOUS and three of the rapper's friends with five counts of criminal possession of a weapon yesterday. (Police discovered two guns in the rapper's 2005 Dodge Magnum after pulling it over early Tuesday morning for allegedly running a red light. Fabolous and his entourage were fleeing the scene of a shooting in a nearby parking garage, where the rapper sustained an injury.) Fabolous was released on $15,000 bail yesterday, but police have launched an investigation into a possible connection between the shooting and a robbery targeting BOSTON CELTICS guard SEBASTIAN TELFAIR the same night. So far, Telfair hasn't been able to ID the person who snagged his $50,000 necklace.
PHIL COLLINS CONFIRMS GENESIS REUNION
PETER GABRIEL may still want to take a sledgehammer to the rest of GENESIS, but PHIL COLLINS has managed to wrangle up guitarist MIKE RUTHERFORD and keyboardist TONY BANKS for a worldwide reunion tour. A spokesman for the trio has said that "long term plans"--including recording some possible new material--will be announced in the coming weeks.
COLDPLAY BUY MASSIVE RECORDING/REHEARSAL SPACE
Despite COLDPLAY's extended hiatus plans, the British band has reportedly bought space in a London building that currently houses recording studios and offices. "We're trying to find somewhere we can set up and work from," guitarist WILL CHAMPION told Gigwise earlier this year. "In all these years working together we haven't had a HQ, our own studio or anything like that. We want somewhere that we can hole up and see what happens.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN PHOTO BOOK OUT NOW
Dozens of rare, early BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN/E STREET BAND photos are now available in the $35 hardcover book "Greetings From E Street." Former "Ashbury Park Press" music critic ROBERT SANTELLI authored the tome.
YOKO ONO SUES EMI FOR UNPAID ROYALTIES
YOKO ONO has brought a $10 million lawsuit against EMI Music Group and Capitol Records, claiming they "willfully and knowingly" underreported royalties from JOHN LENNON's catalogue. Jeanne Meyer, a spokeswoman for EMI/Capitol, declined to comment on the case.
SLICK RICK FACING POSSIBLE DEPORTATION
A Florida judge has overturned a three-year-old ruling that allowed British-born rapper SLICK RICK to remain in the States despite his 1991 attempted murder conviction. In a press release, DR. BENJAMIN CHAVIS of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network said: "With all of the real and present threats to American society from terrorism, why is the government chasing this rapper?" "It's an obscene misuse of scarce resources.
SECOND VOLUME OF JOHNNY CASH COMP OUT SOON

LABEL/ MUTE RECORDS

Exclusively available from Mute Bank
Depeche Mode return to the fore with the stunning single ‘Martyr’ – their first new material since the international Number 1 album ‘Playing The Angel’.
Taken from the eagerly awaited Best Of collection, it’s a powerful, hypnotic track written by Martin Gore and deftly confirms the band’s iconic status. Produced by Ben Hillier, of Doves and Blur fame, the new single is unrelenting, absolute Depeche Mode and sits immaculately amongst their luminous history.
Surging with incandescent synths, a razor-sharp hook and Dave Gahan’s emotive claims of being “a martyr for love”, it is both irresistible and irrepressible.

Strange Fruit Project was recently listed on the top 10 most downloaded on iTunes. [Listen to mp3 clips: "You a Grown Man Now," Colossus feat. Hylton Smythe "The Healing" sampler, Strange Fruit Project "Heroes in the City of Dope" sampler, Zion I & The Grouch]
Recently, however, the label has branched out into urban music, forming a subsidiary, Om Hip-Hop, that has not only bucked the trend toward mindless, mainstream-oriented rap, but also revitalized the notion of the album in a genre typically distinguished by singles.
Most interestingly, Om has done it with some truly left-field thinking, using the label's reputation to establish little-known but supremely talented artists who have quickly become major players in the alternative hip-hop field, due to their high degree of musicality and originality. Following the 2005 release of Colossus' "West Oaktown," an album that reintroduced a jazz sensibility to hip-hop, Om recently released Strange Fruit Project's "The Healing."
The album has already garnered some of the strongest reviews in the label's history and lodged in the top 10 on the iTunes charts -- a significant accomplishment for any label, let alone an indie mainly known for four-on-the-floor anthems and ambient chill-out jams.
Although Om is mainly seen as an electronic music tastemaker, hip-hop has always been a part of the label's vision, according to Marketing Vice President Gunnar Hissim, 31, and Om Hip-Hop A&R Jonathan McDonald, 25.

The High Road In Stores
DATE:10/17
Teenage pop sensation JoJo returns with THE HIGH ROAD, her second album. As adulthood beckons, JoJo stands strong and comes through with a release that shows her pop smarts aren't limited to appealing to the "tween" set. She's got a knack for hooks, a knockout voice and beats from Scott Storch and Timbaland. What more do you want? A sample of Toto's 1982 hit "Africa"? Well, she's got that too.

There's not a prog DJ out there who doesn't own at least one or more 12 inches released on Hooj Choons. In progressive's heyday the label was responsible for some of the genre's finest moments such as Space Manoeuvres 'Stage One', Pete Lazonby 'Sacred Cycles' and Lustral 'Everytime'. Its iconic logo of a stick figure DJ spinning on two decks was regularly seen jutting out of record crates.
Hooj was one of the victims of the slump in UK clubland a few years ago, eventually shutting up shop in September 2003. But good news for fans of the label -- it's firing up again in early 2007. Before they release any vinyl, however, Hooj are releasing new remixes and unreleased versions of back catalogue tracks on Beatport over the next six weeks with one release per week.
Appropriately, the first release is 'Resurrection' by Medway which originally came out in 1998, appearing on John Digweed's Global Underground Hong Kong compilation. This digital version will include a new ambient dub plus remixes by Chris & Kai and Delikate Imposters, which actually had a limited vinyl run on Release Grooves in November 2005.
Best start sending your demos to Hooj Choons now.

Emily Haines Cuts Solo Album (Spin.com)
Four years and four cities later, Metric's Emily Haines is finally (almost) ready to release her debut solo effort.
Emily Haines is an artist that defies labeling. Frontwoman for Metric, she is proud to release her debut solo album, Knives Don’t Have Your Back this fall on Last Gang Records. Written and recorded over the past four years in Los Angeles, Montreal, Toronto and New York, the record sites contributions from the likes of Scott Minor from Sparklehorse, Broken Social Scene’s Justin Peroff, Stars’ Evan Cranley and Metric’s Jimmy Shaw. A distinct contrast from Metric’s bold, danceable sound, Knives is an intimate and subtle collection of mellow, piano-driven tunes complimented by soft string and horn arrangements.

In Tiga’s words :
“For most of my life, the only two Danes I knew were: GREAT Danes, those big dogs… and that big Danish goalkeeper. Then I started Djing all over and meeting lots of Danes. One of them was Tomas Barford, a genius, who makes so much good music I have trouble keeping track. He's involved in WHOMADEWHO, he is TOMBOY, and he does more solo stuff as well. When I got a demo CD I freaked out and tried to sign all the tracks… and this first 12inch on Turbo is the fruit of my labour (or I guess HIS labour).”
4 tracks of magic, groovy house music. Moody, building trance-house. Chopped up funk-disco.
I could try, like an idiot, to write more things like : funk-filled-groove-injected-modern-post-disco-house-bombs.... Or things like “aphex-twin shares a drum machine with etienne de crecy in a 70'd era duplex in chicago”.
Or I could just tell you a story about how I was at a hotel gym in LA, minding my own business, playing these tracks on the “ghetto blaster”, trying to decide which ones I liked best...when in walks......MICHAEL DOUGLAS!!!!! ....and after “grooving” for a few minutes tells me “this music is great, man”.
Don't trust me....trust Michael Douglas: movie-star, oscar winner and SEX addict.....he LOVES Tomas Barford.
Love

OKKERVIL RIVER tour USA in October, new single out in December
Still recovering from some wicked jet lag from their tour in the land down under, OKKERVIL RIVER wowed the crowd on their hometown stage during two shows at last weekend's Austin City Limits Festival. It has been a busy month for the band - along with ACL Fest and touring Australia, Lou Reed was quoted in the Denver Post as well as on the on MTV's Video Music Awards endorsing Okkervil River as one of his favorite new bands. He's got great taste. And now the band is about to embark on a domestic tour in October playing mostly all-ages venues.
Also we're excited to announce the upcoming release of their new limited edition 12" single "The President's Dead". It will be the first release by Okkervil River since 2005's masterful Black Sheep Boy project. Having spent most of 2005 touring and writing, the band and Jagjaguwar wanted to get this single out before 2006 came to a close. Locked in the grooves of this limited-edition vinyl-only release is what might be Okkervil River's most accessible and most contentious song, "The President's Dead." A two-minute and forty-two second serving of alternative historical fiction camouflaged as a folk anthem tarted up as a pop single that never was, "The President's Dead" empathetically depicts the shock felt by a young Republican upon hearing news of an assassination over the radio, its lyrics shifting sneakily from images of public horror to those of private tenderness as its music performs a similarly schizoid leap. Meanwhile, sequestered away on side 2, the lyric that bobs atop the loping, twangy pop of "The Room I'm Hiding In" depicts a paranoid flight from vastly more powerful pursuers determined to exact
the most severe punishment.
We're so excited that we're making "The President's Dead" available as a free download on our site now:
