The Spice Girls
new album available through an underwear company:

The store sales of the Victoria’s Secrets chain are expected to go through the roof after the announced agreement with the Spice Girls. As it was reported, the British stars signed a contract with the well known underwear company, which offered more than the 5 million pounds. It committed the group to release their Greatest Hits collection only through their stores. This contract is only valid in North America and follows the example of Sir Paul McCartney who distributed his album Memory Almost Full through the Starbucks chain. Victoria’s Secrets will provide a collector’s box-set which will include bracelets, a karaoke DVD, cards and posters.

The Radiohead
ready for an extensive tour:

The Khronicles learned of an impending long tour of the Radiohead which will start in the spring of 2008. Bryce Edge from Country Management revealed that the tour will very probably commence in May and this tour will try to reach fans not included in the group’s 2006 summer tour. Let’s hope we are among the lucky fans to see Radiohead live.

The Boy With No Name:

The album which established this group was undoubtedly The Man Who. Pieces like Why does it always rain on me or Turn have been the soundtrack of many personal and non-personal moments. The truth is that this album was always the zenith of a band which lived in the shadow of other indie groups, like Blur and Oasis. You might even say that the band was a bit late to enter the recording industry. A piece like Good Feeling, as well as the aforementioned, will indelibly carve the image of this Scottish group in our memories.

La Radiolina:

He was late, but he’s back. After his legendary Claudestino, Manu Chao spent the next four years traveling on tour and with many musical night improvisations. La Radiolina is his fifth personal album where he manages to place, in a reggae and Latin motif, his socio-political issues, and Manu manages to re-vamp them and make them sound brand new. The quality of this latest work proves that his decision to cease recording for four years was correct, although we never stopped listening to his Welcome to Tijuana or Mentira at the beach in the summer.
