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. |
