Exclusive: Massive Box Celebrates Nelson's 75th
To celebrate Willie Nelson's 75th birthday on April 30, Legacy Recordings will roll out a series of special projects. Billboard.com can exclusively reveal that the first is the April 1 release "One Hell of a Ride," a four-disc, 100-song boxed set.
The collection bundles together music from Nelson's stints with numerous record labels, beginning with tracks recorded in late 1954/early 1955 for KBOP radio in Pleasanton, Texas.
While the track list is still coming together, look for early 1960s takes on "Night Life," "Funny How Time Slips Away" and "Crazy" plus iconic covers like Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin'," Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust" and Fred Rose's "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain." Liner notes were penned by Joe Nick Patoski, whose Nelson biography, "An Epic Life," will hit bookstores this spring via Little, Brown. Meanwhile, on April 29, Legacy will issue "#1s," a single-disc compilation of Nelson's chart-topping pop and country hits.

Yazoo - Reconnected - June 2008
Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet to reunite for first UK shows in 25 years
4 disc box set In Your Room - Released in May
Yazoo - Vince Clarke & Alison Moyet - have announced that they will reunite for the first time in over 25 years for Reconnected, a UK tour in June, starting in Glasgow on the 4th and culminating in a headline show at London's Hammersmith Apollo on the 18th. Tickets are available from 1st February direct from the venue or online at www.ticketmaster.co.uk / www.gigsandtours.com / www.livenation.co.uk
The tour is preceded by In Your Room, a 4 disc box set which includes remasters and 5.1 mixes of both Yazoo's classic albums 'Upstairs At Eric's' and 'You And Me Both', b-sides and remixes and a DVD featuring a new short film containing exclusive new interviews with Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet and the promo videos for Don't Go, The Other Side Of Love, Nobody's Diary, Situation (1990) and Only You (1999).
The joyous, unlikely coming together of Vince Clarke, who had just left Depeche Mode, and Alison Moyet lasted for only 2 albums, saw them performing only 24 concerts worldwide, but left an indelible mark on pop. Yazoo released 'Upstairs At Eric's' in July 1982 then parted company just 12 months later on release of the second album 'You And Me Both', which reached Number 1 in the UK.
Vince and Alison have since gone on to have their own successful careers, Vince with Erasure and Alison as a solo performer, both releasing Top 30 critically acclaimed hit albums in 2007 – Erasure with 'Light At The End Of The World’ and Alison Moyet with 'The Turn'. The Reconnected Tour will also see Yazoo perform material from 'You And Me Both' for the very first time as well as pop classics Only You and Don’t Go.
Says Vince Clarke: "It's been really good going back to these songs after such a long while. Many of them have never been played live. I'm looking forward to performing them with Alison for all the fans who've enjoyed our music through the years but never had a chance to see Yazoo in concert"
Says Alison Moyet: ”Playing this material live is not about revision for me, it is about finishing something we started – writing, recording, performing. Three parts of a whole. A salmon cycle. It’s like going home.”

NBC Universal 4Q earnings up 10%
NBC Universal delivered the silver GE bullet of double-digit earnings growth in the fourth quarter and marked its fifth consecutive quarter of profit growth.NBC U also logged strong full-year 2007 revenue and earnings, which were released Friday along with the rest of parent company General Electric's fourth quarter and full-year results.
The key drivers of NBC U's record revenue year were the cable nets and film unit. U's film group logged its "best year ever," as GE chief Jeff Immelt noted in the conglom's earnings release, with $2.1 billion in global B.O. revenue.
The '07 results underscore the transformation that NBC U prexy-CEO Jeff Zucker has been emphasizing ever since he took the reins in February 2007: namely, that the NBC broadcasting biz is now only a small portion of the overall picture at NBC U.
In large part, the 2007 growth was driven "by the tremendous performance of the cable division and the film groups, and they account for more than 75% of the company now," Zucker told Daily Variety. "Every one of our cable networks has had record performance: USA, Sci Fi, Bravo, Oxygen, CNBC.
More than one option
"There was so much attention to a new competitor coming in (with the debut of Fox Business Network), but the fact is CNBC had its highest ratings ever in the fourth quarter."
MSNBC is also on the rise, pulling its largest share of the cable news aud since 2001, Zucker added.
All told, NBC Universal generated $15.4 billion in revenue in '07, accounting for about 9% of GE's total haul of $172.7 billion. NBC U's earnings hit $3.5 billion, which repped about 10.7% of GE's $29 billion in earnings (GE claims $3.1 billion of those NBC U earnings, while the rest flows to 20% shareholder Vivendi).

L.A. Times editor O'Shea ousted
Departure follows that of Dean Baquet
The L.A. Times newsroom was hoping for a honeymoon period under new Tribune Co. owner Sam Zell after two years of management turmoil, but word spread Sunday that editor James O'Shea had been fired after refusing to implement $4 million in budget cuts.
O'Shea, a 28-year Tribune veteran, was fired following a confrontation earlier this month with publisher David Hiller, the Los Angeles Times reported on its website Sunday. O'Shea's departure was expected to be announced this week, but the news broke Sunday on the Wall Street Journal's website.
L.A. Times spokeswoman Nancy Sullivan declined to comment on the matter, while a Tribune spokesman referred calls to Sullivan. The Times reported that O'Shea's dispute with Hiller over the order to slice $4 million out of the newsroom's $120 million budget came to a head on Jan. 7.
O'Shea's departure comes just a month after Chicago-based Tribune was taken private in a complex $8.2 billion employee-ownership deal led by real estate magnate Zell.SOURCE:VARIETY.COM

NSDTCM:JACK JOHNSON
LABEL:BRUSHFIRE RECORDS
His previous albums (In Between Dreams, On and On and Brushfire Fairytales) included some of the great tracks of 2006 such as Better Together, Sitting, Waiting, Wishing and Good People. Jack was also involved in the Curious George film soundtrack which included the classic Upside Down.
Britain took to Jack in a big way. When he first ventured over the water in May 2005, it was as if he had lit the blue touch paper and run. The low-key shows in Shepherd’s Bush and Cornwall sold out in nine minutes, and the public and media reaction was incredible. When Jack returned to the UK in February 2006, he played sold-out arena shows and performed at the BRIT Awards – his UK TV debut - alongside Gorillaz, Coldplay and Kanye West. Jack’s night was capped when he won the award for International Breakthrough Act.
Jack has three passions in his life: music, surfing and his family, though not necessarily in that order. As music lovers everywhere have fallen head over heels for his unique, acoustic sound, it’s heartening to know that Jack’s music is a pure distillation of his own character.
Modest, warm-hearted and serene, Jack Johnson has found global success on his own terms, without hype or compromise.

Brushfire Records is a Mango Tree, Hawaii based record label owned by singer-songwriter Jack Johnson. The label, formerly known as The Moonshine Conspiracy Records, was originally made to release soundtracks for Woodshed Films, a surfing movie production owned by Jack Johnson, Emmett Malloy, and Chris Malloy for Thicker than Water. It was after this that the three, with Jack Johnson's wife, Kim Johnson, decided to release albums along with soundtracks. The record company has put out the soundtrack for the Curious George movie Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George and Jack Johnson's In Between Dreams.

UMG releasing Stones soundtrack
Superstar band's EMI deal expires in May
The Rolling Stones are taking their soundtrack album for "Shine the Light" to Universal Music Group, building speculation that they will be the next superstar act to depart EMI for good.
Universal's Polydor label will release the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's "Shine a Light" in March around the time Paramount Classics puts the pic in theaters. It will open the Berlin Film festival in early February.
Reports have come out of London that Mick Jagger has met with EMI's new owner Guy Hands about extending the Stones' deal with EMI, which expires in May. Taking the soundtrack to Universal puts them in the driver's seat to deal for future Stones recordings.

The Academy is made up of 1000 specially invited members from different sectors of the music industry. Major and independent record companies, retailers, music critics and student press, music TV and Radio producers and presenters, music publishers, artist managers, concert promoters and venues, NUS representatives and DJs.
Less than a quarter of the academy’s membership is drawn from the recording industry, and despite the popular misconception that “BRIT Bosses” dish out the awards, only 12% of the voting academy are drawn from major record companies.
All academy votes are collected online, and are counted and verified by official scrutinisers ERS (Electoral Reform Services).
It’s not all about perving on bespectacled rockers however. There unifying factor among the hundreds of Academy members is that they’re all serious about music.That’s not to say they all share the same tastes.
Our polls showed that they have a penchant for pop, with hotly-tipped BRITs potential awardees like Rihanna, Newton Faulkner, Mika and the Kaiser Chiefs showing up again and again as their top tips.
But among pop faves , we found some more eclectic musical interests among Academy Members. Dame Shirley Bassey, Groove Armada, grunge kids Sonic Youth, eclectic cellists Basquiat Strings and even bloke called Seasick Steve.
Academy members are reflective of the diverse tastes and opinions of the British public. And just like the rest of us, they’ve got their fair share of quirk.

XL Recordings is an independent record label which was launched by Tim Palmer, Nick Halkes and Richard Russell with Beggars Banquet Records in 1989 to release its rave and dance music.
Beginnings
Originally the label was an offshoot of Beggars' more commercial dance label called Citybeat which was known for records by acts such as Freeez , Starlight, Dream Frequency and the Ultramagnetic MCs. However with the success of acts such as The Prodigy and SL2, XL superseded Citybeat in the company's line up.
Palmer, who also owned the dance music store Groove Records on Londons Greek Street, initially employed Halkes and Russell (who as artists and DJ's were known as Kicks Like a MuleGreenwich Village, where he had met Palmer who was visiting the store.
During the early nineties, XL Recordings releases were dance orientated ranging from Belgium techno (T99- "Anasthasia") to Breakbeat hardcore (SL2 - "On A Ragga Tip") to Drum and BassEMI-owned commercial dance label Positiva, and subsequently his own independent commercial dance label Incentive. In 1994 Palmer left XL and retired from the music business, leaving Russell in sole charge of XL.
Russell broadened the musical horizons of the label whilst maintaining a credo of working with artists he saw as original and inventive [1]
In 2003 the label won the Music Week A&R award. [2]
Russell has been consistently named as one of the most influential figures in the UK music business [3] and was recently named by the Evening Standard as one of London's most influential people [4]
Roster
Since the late 1990s expanded into other genres such as freak-folk, alternative rock and hip-hop. They are now the home to an eclectic range of artists such as:
- Adele
- Basement Jaxx
- be your own PET
- Cajun Dance Party
- Devendra Banhart
- Dizzee Rascal
- Jack Peñate
- Kicks Like a Mule
- Kid Harpoon
- Lemon Jelly
- M.I.A
- Peaches
- The Prodigy
- Radiohead
- Ratatat
- RJD2
- Sigur Rós
- Tapes 'n Tapes
- Thom Yorke
- To My Boy
- Vampire Weekend
- Various
- The White Stripes
Recently
RJD2, who left Def Jux to join XL and will record future albums with XL. [5]
XL Recordings have also released classic albums from overseas artists such as Gotan Project and The Avalanches
Thom Yorke, of Radiohead fame, released his first solo record, The Eraser, on the label in July of 2006.
While not reaching Number One in any specific country (#2 in the US, #3 in the UK and #2 in Canada), it was Number One for worldwide sales during its initial week of release.
In October 2007, Radiohead completed negotiations to sign with XL for a proper studio release of their seventh studio album, In Rainbows.

Artist to appear in spot for Pepsi
The boy band heartthrob turned Grammy-winning R&B singer will appear in a spot for Pepsi, kicking off a yearlong $1 billion giveaway of MP3s, CDs, videos, consumer electronics and other items on Amazon.
Back in 2004, PepsiCo Inc. and Apple forged a similar partnership, which started with an iTunes Super Bowl commercial promoting legal music downloads, to the tune of Green Day's version of "I Fought the Law." The companies gave away 100 million free iTunes downloads that, with rising iPod sales, helped push Apple to the forefront of the digital music industry.
Working with Amazon this year is big deal for Pepsi, which said it will spend more on its "Pepsi Stuff" advertising campaign than on any past marketing effort.
