IS SLASH MOVING TOWARDS A GUNS N ROSES REUNION?

In one way, it is rather funny that the one thing that has reunited Slash and Axl Rose in recent times has been their displeasure of Glee, the all-singing and all-dancing sickly sweet TV show. A request by the show to feature Guns N Roses music was denied by both of the main players and it was good to see that they could both agree on something.

Adele - 21

Artist: Adele  
Album: 21  
Release: 24th January  
Label: XL Recordings

When Adele announced herself to the world back in 2007 with her incredible single Hometown Glory, few were in any doubt that a significant new talent had arrived on the scene. Her deeply powerful and emotionally expressive vocals demanded undivided attention, and when presented in the context of her soul-inspired debut album 19 that's exactly what she received, not to mention a raft of award nominations. Indeed, such was the impact that Adele made when she first arrived in our lives that it's hard to imagine how she might replicate that excitement the second time around. Hard, that is, until you hear 21, which doesn't just live up to 19; it blows it out of the water.

It isn't that long ago since Korn last released an album, but news that the nu metal act are scheduled to hit the studio in April is sure to have fans excited at the prospect of new material.

Not too many acts make it to releasing ten studio albums and Korn have battled through a lot to get to this stage. Fashion and trends have not always been with the band over the years but the act have never really bothered too much about what those outside the camp think of their music.

Canadian Federal Watchdog Urges Agency To Reconsider Ban of Dire Straits Song

Radio stations are confused over ruling to ban 'Money for Nothing' from airwaves

Canada's broadcast regulator, the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, has put pressure on the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council to reconsider its decision to ban Dire Straits' 1985 hit "Money for Nothing" from Canadian airwaves for including an anti-gay slur.

The CRTC received more then 250 complaints about the CBSC's decision to remove the song, which is a long-established staple of rock radio stations. Many of the complaints were understandably confused about the distinction between the two organizations: The CRTC is a federal watchdog agency and the CBSC is a non-government industry group set up by private broadcasters to set ethical standards.

By Matthew Perpetua

"Mine Smells Like Honey," the first official single from R.E.M.'s forthcoming album Collapse Into Now, finds each member of the trio playing to long-established strengths.

Peter Buck's guitar parts alternate between the jangle of 1984's Reckoning and the crunch of 1996's New Adventures in Hi-Fi, while Michael Stipe sings some seriously inscrutable lyrics in a low, weathered grumble before launching into a sweeping chorus.

The Strokes, Duran Duran Rumored for Coachella Fest


Guessing the Coachella lineup has become somewhat of a spectator sport in recent years, with faux flyers popping up on the Net months before the dates are announced (April 15, 16 and 17 this year), each more fantastical than the next.

Naturally, this year's rumor mill is no different, and while the West Coast's premiere music festival has traditionally offered a mash-up of rock, hip-hop and electronic acts, it looks as if Saturday's bill is shaping up to have a distinct '80s theme.
