MESSAGE FROM JIMMY PAGE TO O2 ATTENDEES:
[11.05.07] Email sent to ticket holders:

"As you all know by now I was regrettably put in a situation where I had to postpone my performance at the Ahmet Ertegun Benefit show, on November 26th, due to a fractured finger. We have now rescheduled this show to take place, at the same venue, on December 10th. In doing so I was very conscious of the fact that many people are travelling great distances to attend. I do want to let everyone know that this decision was unavoidable. My apologies to anyone who has been inconvenienced by this change.

I would also like to thank everyone else involved for their help with making this change. Harvey Goldsmith, the trustees of the Ahmet Ertegun Foundation and, of course, the other artists who so willingly agreed to join us on the show. I look forward to the 10th December!" -Jimmy Page

ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK:
I'm Not There

On October 30 Columbia Recrods will release the soundtrack to director Todd Haynes' unconventional Dylan biopic I'm Not There.

This two-disc, 34 song collection includes newly-recorded cover versions of Bob Dylan songs from and inspired by one of the year's most wildly-anticipated films performed by an eclectic cavalcade of acclaimed and celebrated contemporary musicians including Eddie Vedder, Sonic Youth, Jim James, Stephen Malkmus, Cat Power, Jack Johnson, Sufjan Stevens, John Doe, Karen O, Iron & Wine, Mason Jennings, Jeff Tweedy, Willie Nelson, Antony, Los Lobos, Yo La Tengo, Mark Lanegan, Rambin' Jack Elliot, Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova and more. I'm Not There includes the original Bob Dylan recording of the song, a rare oft-bootlegged outtake from 1967 which has never been available on any official release.

One of the year's most highly-anticipated cinema releases, I'm Not There re-images the life of Bob Dylan as portrayed by six different actors -- Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger and Ben Whishaw -- showing Dylan in a series of shifting personae - from the public to the private to the purely fantastical - woven together in a rich, complex and colorful portrait of an American icon.

The film I'm Not There will be released by Weinstein Films on November 21 in New York and Los Angeles, with additional cities to be added in subsequent weeks.

LABEL:VIRGIN
/ELEVEN

Silverchair swept the 2007 ARIA Awards in Sydney last night.

They won five ARIA's - more than any other artist this year.


Most significantly the band took out the prestigious Album Of The Year award for their acclaimed "Young Modern". While they've had five chart topping albums over their career this was actually the first time that any Silverchair release has received that honour.

They also received the following awards:

Best Rock Album Single Of The Year Best Group Highest Selling Single Best Video
This extraordinary achievement makes Silverchair the most successful artist in the entire history of the ARIA Awards. Last night's haul took the band's career tally to 19 eclipsing John Farnham's previous record of 18 career gongs. Silverchair opened the Awards telecast with a memorable performance of "Straight Lines" and set the tone for a very special night that cemented Silverchair in their rightful place as one of the most acclaimed and successful bands in Australian music history The band was obviously moved by the accolades, thanking "all the people who have stuck with them over the years". The ARIA's capped the busiest few months of the band's entire career. They have toured non-stop over the last 16 weeks racking up nearly 60 shows around the world including international festival appearances and their hugely successful "Across The Great Divide" tour with co-headliners, Powderfinger. Those shows came to an end on Friday night in Silverchair's home town of Newcastle.

The group will now take 2 weeks off before returning to the U.S. for 5 weeks of shows. "Straight Lines" is currently a top 10 video and top 20 airplay hit in North America and has received the strongest reviews of Silverchair's career.

MUSIC FOR RELIEF is seeking your help to raise money

to aid the victims of wildfires in Southern California

that began Sunday evening and are still burning.

Sixteen wildfires have consumed over 420,000 acres

from Santa Barbara to San Diego initiating the

largest evacuation in the state's history with over

880,000 people evacuated, and

2,000 homes destroyed or damaged.

Please join Linkin Park and Music for Relief

in our effort to help those in need.

Click here to make a donation to help the victims of the fires.

Funds raised by Music for Relief will go to

Direct Relief International during the immediate

crisis followed by an ongoing effort to rebuild and reforest affected areas.

Direct Relief International is helping Southern

California neighborhood clinics, hospitals, and

first responders meet the short-term medical

material needs of vulnerable, affected residents

recovering from the fires, as well as evaluating

the long-term recovery needs of the affected communities.

Specifically requested supplies that Direct Relief has been

able to fulfill include particulate masks, wheelchairs,
eye wash, inhalers, and personal care and hygiene items.

Contributions will be used to make cash grants to

community clinics, health centers, and other

health-service organizations in the affected


region to ensure they are able to maintain

their service levels for low-income, uninsured patients.

MTV tunes up lyrics search

Network to launch multiplatform initiative


MTV Networks is launching a major multiplatform initiative tied to music lyrics -- just as publishers step up their efforts to thwart websites that illegally offer up the words to songs.

Key to the effort is a plan to begin offering extensive lyric search capabilities on the websites of all three major MTV music brands -- MTV, VH1 and CMT. MTV Nets also plans to offer mobile phone-based lyric searches and eventually extend the search function to older titles next year via VH1Classic.com.

Company has pacted with Gracenote, which has rights deals in place with most major publishers.

"The search for the lyric is just a path for the user to experience more content," MTVN Music Group exec VP of digital media Courtney Holt told Daily Variety.
