Apple to sell copy protection-free songs

Apple has agreed to start selling digital songs without copy protection software from its iTunes store along with over-the-air download songs for its popular iPhone, according to people familiar with its plans.

The maker of the iPod is also set to announce a deal to roll out variable pricing on digital songs at the iTunes Music Store with songs priced between 79 cents (53 pence) and $1.29.

Apple is expected to announce the changes at the Macworld Expo trade show in San Francisco later on Tuesday.

Copy protection software, also known as digital rights management or DRM, has proved a controversial topic with music fans and record labels alike.

DRM was designed to prevent fans from illegally sharing digital downloads on file-sharing services. But it also prevented many fans from moving their own songs between devices and became increasingly unpopular.

Apple's founder, Steve Jobs, publicly called on major record labels to drop DRM in February 2007.

In exchange, labels have been asking that iTunes agree to sell songs at variable prices. Currently, iTunes sells all individual songs at 99 cents regardless of their popularity or date of release, unlike most other retail outlets.

Apple is also expected to announce details to allow iPhone 3G and iPod Touch Wifi users to buy songs while on the go, over the air through its popular App Store.

Music powers mobile evolution

At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona LG Electronics announced it will start to sell mobile phones in few months time giving consumers full access to free music via Omnifone's MusicStation download service. LG's first full-access music phone is set to hit the market months ahead of a similar offering from the world's top cellphone maker Nokia, which unveiled its plan to start selling phones with free music access in December last year. Such unlimited download models could offer a shot in the arm to the music industry, which is struggling to find ways to make up for falling CD sales -- something that pay-per-track online stores like Apple's iTunes have so far failed to do. Reuters European Technology Correspondent Matt Cowan reports from Barcelona.

Lennon's MBE unearthed

Fans of John Lennon are calling for his MBE to put on display, forty years after he famously sent it back to the Queen.

The rock legend returned the honour in 1969, in protest at the government's supposed support of the war in Vietnam.

All four members of the band had been rewarded four years earlier for their services to music, at the height of Beatlemania.

It has now been unearthed in its original presentation case with letter, at the Chancery Department of the Royal Household in St James' Palace.

The attached note reads: "Your Majesty, I am returning my MBE as a protest against Britain's involvement in the Nigeria-Biafra thing, against our support of America in Vietnam and against 'Cold Turkey' slipping down the charts. With Love, John Lennon."



A spokesman for Buckingham Palace told a UK newspaper that the honour could go on display only when it has been officially verified.

"John Lennon's MBE is being taken good care of and is in storage at the Central Chancery, St James' Palace", they explained.

"It has been retained since the day Mr Lennon returned it, but in order to decide whether the medal could go on display in a museum, we would have to establish ownership first.

"It could be up to Yoko Ono as she is the custodian of John Lennon's estate", the spokesperson concluded.

"Hallelujah" tops Christmas chart

The top two spots in the Christmas singles chart were taken by covers of Leonard Cohen's 1984 song "Hallelujah," with "X Factor" talent show winner Alexandra Burke's new version beating Jeff Buckley's 1994 cover on Sunday.

U.S. singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen performs at the Glastonbury Festival 2008 in Somerset

Burke won this year's series of the pop talent show that is one of ITV's biggest ratings successes, and she is the fourth successive "X Factor" winner to take the Christmas singles title.

Leona Lewis, who won "The X Factor" and the Christmas number one slot in 2006, dropped down to third from number one last week with "Run," the Official Charts Company said.

Cohen's original version of "Hallelujah" entered the chart at number 36, while the success of Buckley's version was partly due to a campaign on social networking website Facebook among music fans upset at what they saw as the manufactured nature of Burke's career.

Buckley drowned in 1997, and achieved only modest sales though significant critical acclaim during his lifetime.

Reformed 1990s boy band Take That remained at the top of the artist album chart with "The Circus," and Leona Lewis's album "Spirit" stayed at second place.

Jeff Buckley would have loved chart revival

The mother of cult singer Jeff Buckley is convinced her son would have been amused that music mogul Simon Cowell has given him a boost up the pop charts - years after his death.

Fans of the late rocker, who died in a swimming accident in 1997, are campaigning to take his recording of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah to the top of the charts this Christmas in a bid to beat another cover version of the song by singer Alexandra Burke.

Burke was awarded a £1 million record deal with Syco Records, Cowell's division of Sony BMG, when she took home the crown on Cowell's TV competition The X Factor last week.

But Buckley's mother Mary Guibert insists the tragic star would have loved the music rivalry.

She says, "I think Jeff would have found this number one thing very amusing. It's ironic in so many ways. I mean, here is The X Factor, run by Simon Cowell, who is supposed to be the ultimate taste arbiter, and they've been run to the wire by my son.

"It's come about so organically, with no record label pushing it, and I think Jeff would have loved that, and loved his fans for doing it."

Nobel honours Bono

Bono has been honoured as a 'Man of Peace' at a ceremony in France.

The U2 singer received the commendation from Paris Mayor Bertrand Delance on Friday.

The award was made in the presence of five Nobel Peace Prize winners, in recognition of his efforts to support causes in Africa.

The singer said: "This is a very big award for me, because let's be honest this is as close as I am going to get, as close as a rock star is ever going to get to the Nobel Peace Prize.

"I am an over-awarded, over-rewarded rock star. You are the people who do the real work", he told the laureates at the event.

U2 are expected to release a new album, "No Line On The Horizon", in 2009.

Hallelujah JEFF BUCKLEY

Buckley's 'Hallelujah' for Christmas Top 40

Absolute Radio are getting behind The Sun's campaign to get Jeff Buckley's version of 'Hallelujah' in the UK singles chart this Christmas. It's been announced that Simon Cowell's X Factor finalist will hit the Crimbo charts with a cover of Leonard Cohen's classic, but it's Buckley's beautiful cover that needs to be heard by a new generation of real music fans.

X Factor is great but it's not about music - it's about entertainment. Hallujah is a brilliant, all time classic song but I know the X Factor version will pail into insignificance compared to the incredibly moving Jeff Buckley version - you need to have had a life to sing this song.

We need to get it the Top 40 so people know there is another 'real' version out there.

Coldplay dismisses plagiarism allegations what do you think?

Rockers Coldplay have hit back at claims their single Viva La Vida ripped-off a track by guitarist Joe Satriani - insisting any similarity is a coincidence.

Satriani filed a lawsuit at Los Angeles federal court last week, claiming the Yellow hitmakers copied segments from his 2004 instrumental If I Could Fly to use in their 2008 hit track.

Joe Satriani Vs. Coldplay

He is seeking damages and profits from Viva La Vida, claiming he was devastated when he first heard the song, saying, "I felt like a dagger went right through my heart. It hurt so much. The second I heard it, I knew it was If I Could Fly."

But the band has responded dismissing the allegations in a statement issued to TMZ.com.

It reads, "With the greatest possible respect to Joe Satriani, we have now unfortunately found it necessary to respond publicly to his allegations. If there are any similarities between our two pieces of music, they are entirely coincidental, and just as surprising to us as to him. Joe Satriani is a great musician, but he did not write the song Viva La Vida. We respectfully ask him to accept our assurances of this, and wish him well with all future endeavours. Coldplay."

Velvet Revolver split from label

Velvet Revolver have confirmed reports they've split from record label RCA.

In a posting on his website, guitarist Slash insists the supergroup and label executives have "parted amicably".

He claims the fact his band has no singer - after sacking Scott Weiland in April - and therefore cannot produce a contracted third album led to the label split.

He writes, "The truth is not as negative as the rumour. The band owed RCA money for a third album, which, at this time, they are unable to produce (no singer). The band and RCA parted amicably. When they are recording the new album, it most likely will be for a new label."

The group has yet to name a new frontman, but former Skid Row star Sebastian Bach and ex-Spacehog singer Royston Langdon have been linked to the vacancy in recent months.

Stewart confirms The Faces reunion

Rod Stewart has confirmed that 70s supergroup The Faces are set for a reunion, more than 30 years after the band split.

Earlier this week, website Raygigs.com reported that Stewart and other original members Ronnie Wood, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones had booked a secret rehearsal slot next week to see if the band still had what it takes to launch a string of reunion shows next year.

Scheduling problems between the members has hampered previous comeback plans - but Stewart has confirmed that this time it is a reformation is definitely on.

He says, "Yes, absolutely. We have our first rehearsal on Monday. It will be next summer and I am looking forward to it. It'll be great."

And Stewart is adamant that Wood's recent break-up with wife of 23 years Jo won't hold the star back from giving everything to the tour.

He adds, "Ronnie is up for it. I think he feels great. He is full of energy and very excited. We try not to mix our family problems with work. I'll see him Monday."

The band has previously reunited for a handful of one-off gigs - Wood and McLagan performed with Stewart at the Hollywood Bowl in 2004.

Stewart's touring bass player is expected to complete the group, replacing late bassist Ronnie 'Plonk' Lane, who died in 1997.

Conman posed as rocker Francis Rossi at carnival

Residents of a seaside town were tricked by a conman who pretended he was a member of rock band Status Quo, a council member said.

When the trickster duped members of Dover Town Council in Kent into believing he was frontman Francis Rossi, they were so impressed they invited him to be guest of honour at the town's annual carnival parade.

Councillor Chris Precious said the man, whose true identity is unknown, spent the day enjoying the hospitality of the town's mayor before his secret was found out.

He said he did not believe him to be the chart-topping musician but went along with him as he did not want to spoil the day's festivities.

He said: "I was introduced to him and I thought to myself, if that's Francis Rossi, he's turned ginger, shrunk a bit and grown more hair.

"He spent the day with us and the council were keen to have him on board as we were preparing for this year's Festival of Dover and we thought he might be able to help us promote it.

"I went to the town clerk a couple of days later and said, 'that's not the man he says he is'. I believe he was confronted but I don't know what happened to him after that."

Mr Precious said that he believed the conman may have been given "a couple of glasses of wine" but had not gained anything else from the deception as far as he was aware.

He added: "I think a couple of other people had their doubts about him but they were prepared to accept it as they didn't know what Francis Rossi looked like."

He said that it was not the first time that the people of Dover had been conned by somebody pretending to be a celebrity. A year earlier a man visited several pubs in the area claiming to be Pete Townshend of The Who.

Beatles' guru Neil Aspinall dies

Neil Aspinall, a close friend of the Beatles and the man who ran the Apple music empire, has died aged 66, a spokesman has announced.

A childhood friend of Paul McCartney and John Lennon, Neil Aspinall was the group's road manager before overseeing the creation of Apple Records.

In a statement, Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Yoko Ono said: "Neil's trusting stewardship and guidance has left a far-reaching legacy."

Despite no musical training, he sang in

the chorus of "Yellow Submarine".

Jagger escapes assassination

Mick Jagger escaped an assassination attempt by a gang of Hells Angels in the '60s, it has been claimed.

The Rolling Stones' frontman was apparently targeted by the infamous group following their tragic 1969 Altamont show.

The news is revealed in a new radio documentary about the history of the FBI, with a former agent explaining how Jagger became a target.

Tom Mangold claims The Stones' disastrous San Francisco concert, in which one man was killed by a Hells Angel, prompted the death threat.

Jagger was said to be furious about the uprising in the crowd, blaming the biker group, who had been employed to quell any trouble.

Mangold explained: "The Hells Angels were so angered by Jagger's treatment of them that they decided to kill him."

A boatload of gang members set-off to attack the rock icon at his holiday home in the Hamptons, New York City, but were thwarted by bad weather.

"They planned the attack from the sea so they could enter his property from the garden and avoid security at the front", explained Mangold.

"The boat was hit by a storm and all of the men were thrown overboard. All survived and there was not said to have been any further attempt on Jagger's life."

Stones vs Zeppelin

Keith Richards has dismissed Led Zeppelin's reunion, claiming he didn't even know it had taken place.

The Rolling Stones legend says he has no interest in their rock rivals, who played a one-off show at the O2 Arena in London last year to considerable acclaim.

In a new interview, the guitarist was asked about the reunion, commenting: "They had one? Well, well done Jimmy and Robert...'Stairway To Heaven' don't make it for me, baby."

Meanwhile, in an interview with Uncut to promote The Stones' upcoming "Shine A Light" live film, Richards also claimed Mick Jagger is "a maniac".

He commented: "Mick's a maniac. He can't get up in the morning without knowing immediately who he's going to call.

"Meanwhile, I just go 'Thank God I'm awake' and wait for three or four hours before I do anything."

As previously reported, "Shine A Light", directed by Martin Scorsese, is due for general cinema release in April, to coincide with a soundtrack of the same name.

Radiohead Setting Standard?

The band will offer their new album on their website, not on any other digital music store. Except the catch is that fans can pay as much as they feel is necessary for the album, aside from a 50-cent processing fee. So will this way of selling records be successful and start a new trend?

Promote your band - online

The music industry says it's in a process of transition as it faces up to the challenges of downloads and the internet.

But in a world where many groups promote themselves on MySpace and other similar social networking sites, the internet could also provide bands with new ways of booking concerts and reaching out to fans in other countries. The website Sonicbids lets bands create an online profile, which they can use to contact music promoters and get concert bookings around the world. This new form of self-promotion is well underway at the Popkomm music and entertainment trade fair in Berlin.

Playing Through The Blues

I've just finished looking at Griff Hamlin's latest
package, Playing Through The Blues - A Guide For The
Lead Guitar Player. Obviously I see a lot of products
either because I'm looking for something specific, or
because someone wants me to promote their product.

Most of the time I'm less than impressed, but this
product has me quite excited because it is so different
from anything I have seen in a long time. That is why
I have taken the time to sit and type a letter to all
the people I know and tell you all about it.

Learning the blues can be a frustrating task. It seems
so simple, but only a handful of people seem to know
the trick to really making it sound great. Griff and
his team have put together what I believe is a really
thorough, step-by-step method that has actually been
tested and proven on his own guitar students over the
past several years.

The main book provides all of the scales, techniques,
theory, and tricks that you'll need. It follows a
simple and logical progression. Each chapter builds on
the one before it. At the end of each chapter, you'll
be told exactly what you need to be able to do before
moving on to the next chapter. You can't fail with this.

The best part, however, is the audio examples and jam
tracks. Every audio example comes with a full speed
and slow speed version, so you can play along easily
at first, and pick up the pace as you get better.

There's also 4 complete solos that really sound like
they are from your favorite blues songs. You could
memorize them and totally use them at your next blues
jam or gig. They demonstrate all of the techniques
throughout the book, and give a very good "real world"
example of the techniques and approach.

Also, there are 6 jam tracks that come with the
package, so once you get going you can just play
along with the band. And the tracks are really good
quality, just like you're jamming with a real band.
It's a lot of fun.

As a bonus Griff has included an excellent book full
of turnaround and ending licks. Some of them are
pretty straight forward blues, but a couple of them
are real head-turners.

As you can tell, I'm really impressed with this
package as a whole. The testimonials on the website
prove that I'm not alone. This is a very well thought
out, tested, and put together system.

Don't just take my word for it though, take a look
for yourself at:

All the best,

The Who star at Glastonbury mudbath

GLASTONBURY (Reuters) - Rock godfathers The Who headline at Glastonbury on Sunday with persistent rain turning the rural English meadows which host the world's biggest greenfield music and arts festival into a high-spirited mudbath.

Baba O'Riley


Tractors spread straw and woodchips as paths became harder to negotiate, but music-inspired festival-goers in brightly coloured ponchos and rubber wellington boots danced, frolicked and played undaunted.

"It's gone very well in spite of the rain, in spite of the mud," upbeat festival founder Michael Eavis said on Sunday.

"Believe it or not the drains have actually worked ... the show compensates for the weather ... the sun's not everything."

Other big acts on the third and final day of Glastonbury include British music sensation the Kaiser Chiefs, angsty rockers Manic Street Preachers, Californian indie band Cold War Kids, Arkansas' The Gossip, and Welsh diva Shirley Bassey.

Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot




More than 1,200 of the record 177,500 attendees had been injured by Sunday, mostly with sprains and bruises from slipping in the mud at Eavis's farm in southwest England set up in the 1970s as a musical hippy haven.

Police said one 26-year-old man had died from a suspected drugs overdose and that despite far more people on site than last year there were fewer arrests and these were mostly drug related. Only 31 thefts were reported.

Downpours were forecast for the rest of the festival but organisers said the flooding would have been much worse without the new 100,000 pound ($199,000) drainage system and other precautions installed by 71-year-old Eavis.

"I was completely unprepared for the Glastonbury experience," said Norwegian singer Lawra Somby, with the group Adjagas, who had to walk barefoot through the mud because he had the wrong shoes before he togged up with boots and raincoat.

Many people were fretting about how they would exit the rural muddy site on Monday.

KILLERS' PYROTECHNICS

American indie rock kings The Killers rounded off the second day of the festival on Saturday night with a storming 1-1/2 hour-long set that left the main stage audience cheering for more.

Against a pyrotechnic display The Killers played some of their biggest hits, like "All These Things That I've Done" and "Smile Like You Mean It".

Bad boy rocker Pete Doherty and his band Babyshambles, dressed as 1930s gangsters, played a popular set, with Doherty's partner supermodel Kate Moss joining in on backing vocals.

Dirty Pretty Things, featuring Doherty's former Libertines band mate Carl Barat, made their debut Glastonbury performance to riotous applause, singing tracks including "Gin and Milk".

Barat squashed this year's Glastonbury rumour that the Libertines would reunite for the festival. "I'd love to play with Pete one day," he said.

As The Killers played their set, music legend Iggy Pop and the Stooges played on the Other Stage. Iggy, in a trademark wild gesture, invited a fan on stage. Once one fan was on stage the floodgates opened and Iggy was soon swamped by up to 400 fans.

Paul Williams, a security guard at the event said: "Iggy broke the rules big time." Fans were removed from the stage by a combination of the security team and Iggy pleading with the fans to "calm it down".

During the stage invasion, Ron Asheton's Fender guitar was stolen and one man was arrested for indecent exposure.

Stones to end festival with 'bang'

(Friday June 08, 2007)

More than 30,000 music fans will be heading to the Isle of Wight this weekend to see the Rolling Stones headline their first UK festival appearance in more than 30 years.

This year's event is the sixth since the festival was relaunched 30 years after its heyday when it attracted up to one million hippies to the island.

The Isle of Wight festivals at the end of the 1960s were a series of legendary events featuring Bob Dylan, The Who, Free, The Doors, Joni Mitchell and Jefferson Airplane, culminating in 1970 with 600,000 hippies descending on the island to see Jimi Hendrix perform his penultimate concert.

Since re-starting the festival, world-renowned acts such as Coldplay, The Who, David Bowie, Robert Plant, Lou Reed, Foo Fighters and REM have played.

John Giddings, of festival organisers Solo, said: "We would never have attempted to restart the festival without having such a strong history - the Isle of Wight was the Woodstock of Europe.

"I saw Jimi Hendrix there, and was proud to be offered the chance to contribute to the island's musical heritage. The unique location brings out the best in artists; it relaxes them and contributes to some stunning performances.

The Rolling Stones, whose last UK festival was Knebworth Fair in 1976, kicked off their European tour in Belgium this week with a 30-mile traffic jam of fans queueing to see them in the town of Werchter.

But the critics and 33,000 fans were wowed by the old-timers' "A Bigger Bang" tour which will feature 30 gigs across Europe including performances in Belgrade, Serbia, and in St Petersburg, Russia, which the band has never visited before.

In addition to making stops in Eastern Europe, the band will play in Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland and Scandinavia.

The Stones' previous tour became the highest-grossing in concert history in November 2006, netting the band more than £50 million last year and putting them at the top of Forbes' annual list of music's biggest earners.

Stones traffic chaos

(Wednesday June 06, 2007 02:40 PM)

The Rolling Stones brought traffic in a Belgian city to a standstill last night, as they kicked-off the latest leg of their enormous world tour.

The rock legends played a show in Werchter in front of a sold-out crowd of 33,000, as their "Bigger Bang" global jaunt landed in Europe.

Apparently interest in the concert beforehand was so big that a tailback stretching 30 miles built-up on roads approaching the concert, affecting many fans trying to get to the gig.

"Black Rain" is due out on May 22.

Police: New album?

The Police are considering making a new album, as they prepare to embark on their enormous comeback world tour.

Andy Summers, the band's guitarist, revealed the news in London earlier this week, and said they were hoping to play "a couple of new songs" at the live shows.

Summers was asked about the possibility of a new Police album, their first in almost 15 years, at the launch of his memoirs "One Train Later" yesterday.

He explained: "If we do well with these concerts we may well make a sixth album. I can't see why not."

The Police - Roxanne

Speaking about the band's rehearsals, which follow their official reunion performance at the Grammys earlier this year, Summers confirmed the group had been having fun.

"We've been jamming acoustically lately and we've been really enjoying it. We'll be playing a couple of new songs at the shows in the summer", he said.

The Police play the first of their comeback dates in Vancouver at the end of May before appearing at the following UK shows later in the year:

Download announces more bands

by: Marco Gandolfi

Preparing for a weekend of exceptional music and entertainment, Download Festival announces five more incredible bands to the line-up. Having only announced one third of the line up so far, the first festival of the year looks set to be a phenomenal weekend of live music.

Festival organisers are excited to announce the inclusion of Within Temptation, Stone Sour, Unearth, Chimaira and Job For A Cowboy to the bill. Taking place on 8, 9, 10 June, Download Festival have already announced My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park and Iron Maiden as this year’s headliners, and as always are striving to improve the Donington Park facilities year on year. Festival organisers are currently looking not only to have more entertainment on site than ever, but are also aiming to implement new initiatives to make the festival greener.

Within Temptation are Holland’s biggest selling musical export, and one of the fastest growing rock acts internationally. Seen as Europe’s hottest new superstars, they have sold over one million units worldwide. Their fourth album, 'The Heart Of Everything’ has been met with critical and commercial praise, and 2007 looks set to be their most successful year yet. Headed up by the beautiful Sharon Den Adel, their combination of her stunning vocals, and the bands masterful musicianship make this six piece ensemble a Download Festival must see.

Sharon Den Adel, singer of Within Temptation says: 'Playing at Download is one of the most exciting things for us this year! We really enjoyed ourselves last year so when we got asked again, we didn’t hesitate to say yes! We look forward to play some songs off of our new album that’s out and we can’t wait to see all those other cool bands as well!'



American melodic rock band Stone Sour were founded by Corey Taylor of Slipknot. Their double Grammy nominated debut album 'Cellar Falls’ went Gold in the US, while their second album 'Come What(Ever) May’ peaked at number 4 in the US Billboard Chart. Having recently sold out their UK tour, this will be the third time that Stone Sour have played Download Festival.

Josh Rand of Stone Sour announces, 'My lords, ladies, and gentleman it is our privilege to be returning to Download this year. Growing up I always heard about this crazy festival that takes place in England. And in 2003, I finally got to experience it first hand - it was a truly amazing event. This year will be no different. With acts like Mötley Crüe, Korn, and Iron Maiden I’m getting excited just talking about it! So with that said, I’ll see you there or you can go take a piss,'

Unearth’s musicianship is legendarily complex, harmonized guitar riffs, harmony oriented bass riffs, and rapid kicks make a sound that can only be Unearth. This unique approach makes them one of the most abrasive, commanding and emotionally charged groups in music today. 2007 is their second appearance at Download.

Unearth’s Trevor Phipps can’t wait 'One of our favorite live experiences to date is our appearance at the 2005 Download Festival. Needless to say, we are beyond stoked to make a return trip this June'



Florida’s sextet Chimaira combine old-school styling’s with undoubted flair, it’s easy to see why they have fans across the globe. The band's sound is uniquely their own, yet it pays homage to those who have influenced them most. Drawing inspiration from an array of musical genres, Chimaira are an adrenaline rush to watch. This is their third Download appearance, and it will be mind blowing.

Chimaira front man Mark Hunter enthused 'Its an honor to be invited back to Download again. This is number three for us and to think just a few years ago we were the first band on the bill... my oh my, have things changed! We plan on making this year go down in history!'

Job For A Cowboy’s first album 'Doom’ was released in 2005 to critical acclaim. The bands underground success soon caught the eye of the larger labels, and they were soon signed to the legendary Metal Blade Records. Seen by many as one of the most talented bands in the US underground music scene, they are currently touring the US and Europe. They’re highly anticipated second album 'Genesis’ is release in May of this year.

Job For A Cowboy guitarist Ravi Bhadriraju said "It is an honor to be invited to such a well renowned festival. Download is one of the biggest festivals and it is awesome that we get to be a part of it this year. We're stoked to tear the stage up!"
