Police:
The group just announced the upcoming release of a live CD/DVD. It will include snapshot moments from their recently completed one off re-uniting tour.  According to statements by drummer Stewart Copeland, the group recorded the two Buenos Aires concerts from the tour, which took place back in December. The DVD will even include a documentary from the tour, entitled Better Than Therapy, which was shot by Copeland’s son, Jordan. And, as Copeland noted, “Jordan is a much better cinematographer than me.” He added that after their last concert (last month) in New York’s Madison Square Garden, Police will not continue to work together.

Michael Jackson
Collaborates with the New Kids On The Block: An unforeseen collaboration will come to be in the near future, according to a well known music portal. Michael Jackson is apparently negotiating a future collaboration with the New Kids On The Block, according to Donny Wahlberg, the group’s main vocalist. The New Kids On The Block, however, is not the first name rumored to be in negotiations with Mr. Jackson. Other names previously heard are those of Kanye West, will.i.am, Ne-Yo and Akon. Obviously the star of Bad is trying to revive his career, hoping to draw strength from today’s leaders of the music scene. His new album, which has been in the makings for many months now, is expected to be released soon.

Partie Traumatic:
The new name of the American indie is a group called Black Kids, which just released its debut album entitled Partie Traumatic. The band has received positive comments from many music publications, and the public around the world worships the group for their carefree guitar riffs, as well as for their verses that speak straight to the psyche of a party-goer. Of course, their sound must mature, or they will just be another bubble which will eventually and inevitably burst.

Conor Oberst:
 This noted American singer, songwriter and musician has just released his debut solo album. Until now, we knew him as the brains behind the group Bright Eyes. With this homonymous disc, he offers us one more time a robust dose of Americana. Oberst’s folksy rock poetry, unfolds on melancholic, but incredibly dynamic verses that transport you directly on to a road trip, where only two things can happen: you lose or you find yourself.
