I love this band. I am never disappointed in the least with anything they do. I can't wait for this.

Mary J. Blige Records Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven
Blige works with Travis Barker, Randy Jackson, Steve Vai and Orianthi on the cover, which is set to appear on her album re-release.
Is Mary J. Blige aiming for a career makeover? The R&B superstar covered Simon & Garfunkel's classic pop tune "Bridge Over Troubled Water" at the Grammys on Sunday, and now she's in the midst of a remake of one of the most iconic hard-rock anthems of all time: Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven."
According to Mary's rep, she's teamed up with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson, fleet-fingered guitarist Steve Vai and former Michael Jackson touring guitarist Orianthi for a remake of the Zeppelin tune slated to be a bonus track on the international re-release of her recent album, Stronger With Each Tear, due March 15.
"What people don't know about me is I've been a rock-and-roll fan for years," Blige told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday night after nailing her 17th vocal take of the song. "I loved soft rock as a child. I'm full of this stuff, naturally."
She's no stranger to dipping her toe into rock, scoring an international hit with her cover of U2's "One," which she performed with Bono at the 2007 Grammys.
In fact, it's U2's singer who has been pushing her to keep at it and continue exploring her rock edge. "Some people might consider it blasphemy, but Mary's voice really is a nice match [for the song]," said the song's producer, Ron Fair. "Robert Plant's high-pitched blues thing is right in step with Mary's vocal range, and she brings the soul music to it, which is what Plant was going for in the first place."
While the Times reported that she had no problem climbing up to Zeppelin singer Robert Plant's notoriously tricky high notes and phrasing, Blige said she was careful to give it her own spin as well. "You approach it as yourself; you don't try to be the artist," she said.
"I think this song is not hard at all because it's based on pure emotion," Blige told Spinner.com after taking a few takes of the epic guitar-rock touchstone. "You gotta get lost in the rock-and-roll moment of it all, and once you get lost in the rock-and-roll moment of it, all you can do is scream to the top of your lungs or go as low as you need to go. It's not a head thing — it's a spirit thing."
Barker said that even as they were laying down the cover, it was hard to figure out exactly what the mystical lyrics to the 1971 song mean.
"In a room full of people, we were all asked what we thought the song was about, and no one knew," Barker said. "How Mary interprets the song — she feels a stairway to heaven is how women might buy a bunch of things to make them feel like they are in heaven or in peace with all these materialistic things — and then going back and looking at the words, I think she nailed it."
The international re-release is also slated to feature the RedOne-produced "Whole Lotta Love." At press time, Blige's rep had not confirmed whether "Love" is a cover of the Led Zeppelin song of the same name.

Way back in March of 2009 we reported that Possession, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, would be hitting DVD and Blu-ray on May 12th of that year. Well, the release date came and went with no product hitting store shelves. Now comes the news that we can expect them on March 9th, 2010.
Co-starring Lee Pace (“Pushing Daisies”) and Michael Landes (Lakeview Terrace), Possession (which was directed by Joel Bergvall and Simon Sandquist) explores the darkest secrets of love and grief for one happy couple. The synopsis follows:
Newlyweds Jess (Gellar) and Ryan (Landes) seem to have it all until a car accident renders both Ryan and his brother Roman (Pace) comatose. But things spin even more eerily out of control when Roman wakes up and tries to convince Jess that he is her husband. Beside herself with fear and grief, Jess grapples with the one question: Could the man before her actually be the man she lost ... or does something far more sinister await her in his arms?
The DVD's special features include:
● Featurette○ He Isn’t Lying To Us
○ Jess Confronts Casey
○ Ryan’s Life-Support
○ Child Finds Body
● Alternate ending
● Theatrical trailer

"The basic gist of the plot is that Evan (Henry Cavill) must team up with his long-lost big brother Vic (Dominic Purcell) to rid a local farmhouse of a diabolically possessed family and their longtime houseguest: a satanic nazi vampire zombie-master. I'll leave the backstory to the Schumacher's noir-ish flashbacks (and while we're at it let's leave the character development to a handful of clumsy early scenes) and cut right to the meat of the matter: Once Blood Creek gets down to business, it's sort of a "isolated house siege" horror film, not unlike the settings found in Night of the Living Dead and The Evil Dead. Only instead of combating corpses or demons, our heroes (and that family of possessed kooks, don't forget) must fight off maniacal horses, re-animated hayseeds, and (all together now) a satanic nazi vampire zombie-master."

A rich tension has always existed between machine-made sounds and human emotions. One the one hand, there is equipment – exact, untiring, dispassionate, icy. On the other, there is the human heart – hot, messy, inconstant, yearning. This textural disjoint has made for decades of great pop music, from disco through house to Björk and beyond.
Hot Chip relish a good contradiction; they are better placed than most to mine the oppositions inherent to electronic pop. Dance music is about bodies; Hot Chip are a little more cerebral. Co-singer Alex Taylor in particular rocks geek chic to its specciest extreme. Even their name is a pun of sorts, involving computer memory and burnt fingers. Over three albums, the Chip have created their own substrain of affective dance-pop rich with humour and tenderness, rendered instantly recognisable by the interplay of Taylor's vulnerable falsetto and Joe Goddard's fuzzier deadpan delivery.
Their fourth album is not quite the copper-bottomed, hit-packed classic foreshadowed by their last but one, 2006's The Warning. But One Life Stand is a really great electronic album about love. Clubbing has always been more about pulling than avowals of affection like the deeply old-fashioned "Slush" – a waltz-time digital duet in which Hot Chip admit: "Now we are older/ There's more that we must do." But Hot Chip have effectively hitched the rhythms and textures more often attuned to lust to a higher emotional calling.
One track, at the very least, stands shoulder to shoulder with "Over and Over", Hot Chip's breakout anthem. The title track is soppier than a puppy and harder than a limpet to dislodge. "I only wanna be your one life stand," swoons Taylor in his little-boy-lost voice. "Tell me, do you stand by your man?"
"Hand Me Down Your Love", meanwhile, is a nagging neo-house track in which a couple appear to retrieve their emotions from a loft space. "Hand me down your love," urge the lyrics. "Open up my love..." The live drums are just one instance of several on One Life Stand where Hot Chip have used instruments as a surprise counterpoint to their exquisitely detailed digital progressions.
So much electronic music affects a stony froideur. Hot Chip, by contrast, have made a great big aural hug of a record.
"Take It In" is the second single:

Liam Gallagher's new band are aiming to release an album by July.
The singer says that his new group – featuring former Oasis bandmates Andy Bell and Gem Archer – had eight songs, and are aiming to head into the studio soon.
"A lot of these songs I wrote before the band [Oasis] split up," Gallagher told XFM. "I mean, there's a few new ones on there that are coming out now."
He added: "We're going in [the studio] in April with a producer, we're going to do three songs with him and if he doesn't balls it up and we don't balls it up then we'll go in and do the whole album with him."
Gallagher suggested he was keen to get on with the new, still nameless group - saying he regretted the fact that Oasis only made seven albums in the 16 years they had a record deal. He called the amount of music Oasis' put out in their career "poor", and chastised the band for taking so long to produce new material.
"Seven albums for Oasis is not good, I don't think. We've been going 18 years, 16 years or whatever and all we've done is seven albums. Ian Brown's on his seventh solo album. I just think it's poor, really," Gallagher said.
"I'm not going to beat myself up about it, I think we should have made better, bigger albums. Or more albums. Having like four or five years off is just no good," he added. "Obviously Noel (Gallagher) wanted a bit of time off and we don't. The band split in August – we was in the studio in November 'cos we're mad for it."
Elsewhere in the interview, Gallagher said he wants to appear on 'I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here or Total Wipeout – but only if no other contestants are involved.
"I'd like to do all that shit," he said, before adding that Total Wipeout is his favourite reality TV programme of the moment. "They do it in Argentina. I'd love to do it on my jaxy, with no one about."

The Knife has just released their latest cd "Tomorrow, in a Year" and is currently available for streaming on their official website here. If you go to their website, you can also pre-order the cd (March 3rd for the actual CD or February 2nd for iTunes) and download one of the tracks "Colouring of Pigeons" for free.
Commissioned by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma to write the music for their opera based on Charles Darwin and his book ‘On the Origin of the Species’, The Knife decided to make this a collaborative process, working with artists Mt. Sims and Planningtorock for the first time, to capture the huge width of the Darwin and evolution theme. They extensively researched Darwin related literature and articles, with Olof attending a field recording workshop in the Amazon to find inspiration and to record sounds.
