At the stroke of midnight last night, Jay-Z and Kanye West unleashed their much-anticipated joint album Watch The Throne on iTunes (a few weeks before it is available anywhere else) and today we get to hear one of the most-anticipated tracks on the album. Jay and Kanye teamed up with Beyoncé on the track Lift Off … which you can listen to in full below.
I love this song. I mean, you know any songs cooked up by Jay-Z and Kanye are going to rule … but if you throw Bey into the mix, forget about it! I managed to snag some tix to see Jay-Z and Kanye West in concert in LA in December so I’m very excited … my hope is that Beyoncé will make a cameo on stage to perform this song with the guys. What do y’all think of Lift Off? Does it pique your interest enough to want to listen to the rest of the Watch The Throne album?

Sorry, our Selenita, you're going to have to take a backseat for a moment!
The original, late, but still very much GREAT Selena Quintanilla apparently had over 50 unreleased songs recorded before her tragic passing, and according to her father, Abraham, ten of those will be re-mastered on a new album, set to drop early next year!
He explains:
"I own 5 Selena tape masters from pre-EMI times. There's a total of 50 songs. We picked 10 of those songs and we're currently working on refreshing the music. We want to rejuvenate their sound, bring them up-to-date."
Even more exciting yet, the remaining 40 tracks will also eventually be seeing the light of day, as well!
YES! YES! YES!
We normally would be a little hesitant, as this material is from the singer's teenage years and, as with most post-mortem releases, other people will be handling the production without her input, but if her family approves and think that these songs need to be heard by the public - then go for it!
We want to hear!
What do U think?? Should Selena's unheard music be released?

Joey Lawrence has been acting pretty much all his life, lucky for us too I must say. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing him and you can read all about it here. You met him on Gimme A Break, fell in love with him on Blossom and now can see him all grown up every Wednesday on the ABC Family hit show Melissa and Joey. Yes I am talking about the oh so talented Joey Lawrence who went from cute little boy to bona fide hottie all in front of a TV camera. Recently I was lucky enough to be a part of a Q&A interview session with Joey, who is even more amazing off camera then on. The chat stared off being focused on Lawrence’s show with Melissa Joan Hart, if you haven’t seen it I highly recommend you check it out. Joey talked about how he and Melissa wanted to do a show that was geared towards adults but yet that you could watch with your family. Meaning the humor is clearly for adults but it is not offensive or inappropriate for parents to watch with their kids. It is sort of a romantic comedy after all. [...]
Parachute is a pretty young pop rock band, as well as its members. After graduating from college in 2008, some enthusiastic dreamers formed the band that was first called Sparky's Flaw until one of the biggest skincare brand - Nivea - asked the change of the name. And so, Sparky's Flaw became Parachute, a "blue-eyed soul, adult pop, Maroon 5-style faux-funk: it's the Goldilocks of pop-rock, neither too hot nor too cold, but just right" as Fly Magazine depicted it, that started a massive attack for popularity and fame.
There are reasons why people would select some popular karaoke songs over others. We identify very strongly with the meaning behind the lyrics of certain songs as they stand for situations we may face or recognize. The rock composition 'The Eye of the Tiger', originally written for the movie Rocky 3, catapulted the band Survivor to the number one position in the U.S. charts. In the movie, Rocky Balboa, played by Sylvester Stallone faces a moral as well as a physical battle against a powerful challenger, James "Clubber" Lang, the character portrayed by Mr T. Because of the film's content, the song has gone on to serve as a theme for both wrestlers and boxers. The deeper meaning behind the song lies in the quest to prove your worth, usually against overwhelming odds. Its distinctive opening riff and positive message has turned it into a regular choice with karaoke fans.
Few years ago, not many people knew Justin Bieber. However, as he started posting home-made videos of him singing on YouTube, he immediately captured the attention of the whole world. Ever since, there had been lots of people who were attracted by his talent and wanted to sign him to their respective labels.
It looks like Katie Couric’s ABC deal is just about finalized. Rumor has it that an official announcement could come as early as Monday. So what will Katie be doing over on ABC? Find out here! Since it became known that Katie was leaving the anchor desk at CBS after her five year contract expired this year, one would think that she would be receiving offers left and right and would more than likely have a tough decision to make on what she would be doing next. Initially, she did have CBS, NBC and Warner Bros wooing her, hoping to snag the award winning journalist, but according to Variety, offers were no longer on the table for unknown reasons and it looks like she was left with only ABC as the only way to go. How much is Katie Couric’s ABC deal reportedly worth? A cool $20 million, folks. She apparently will have her own talk show that is slated for a debut in the Fall of 2012. Additionally, she would make appearances on ABC News and 20/20. After the recent announcement that ABC has canceled two long time running soaps – All My Children and One Life To Live, [...]
Of all the tennis Grand Slam tournaments, the Wimbledon Championship is the only one whose spectators have never decreased in number despite war interruptions and temporary controversies throughout its history. Since 1937, international fans unable to attend in person have been able to join in eager support of their favorite tennis players at Wimbledon by way of television and/or radio broadcasts. The Wimbledon Championships were televised for the first time in 1937, on BBC in the United Kingdom.
Broncho (pronounced BRON-CHO) is the by-product of Ryan Lindsey's solo career. One day an opportunity presented itself to Ryan to score songs for a film project about a fictional punk band. Seizing the opportunity, Ryan enlisted the musical services of Johnathon Ford (Unwed Sailor, Native Lights), Ben King (Refund Division, The Hero Factor) and Nathan Price (Refund Division, Vandevander). Once the band lineup was settled, the band began writing and recording music for this "shot in the dark" scoring opportunity.

David and I went to an early evening showing of X-Men: First Class, which opened in theaters yesterday, and for the most part we really looking forward to a great movie. What we got was an even better movie than either of us anticipated. Before yesterday, Thor was my fave superhero movie of the moment … but X-Men: First Class has absolutely become not only my fave superhero film of the year but probably my fave movie of the year (thus far) period. It’s really that good.
To be honest, I can’t even decide what makes the movie so good … the acting or the writing. X-Men: First Class is full of fantastic actors who truly become the roles they are playing. Never once did I think anyone was phoning it in or being disingenuous (not even January Jones who, as the chilly Emma Frost, may come off as lifeless but, IMHO, adds to the stoic character). Without question, the chemistry between James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender is SUPERB! There was so much emotion going back and forth between those two (as Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr) that I have expected them to hug and/or kiss in almost every scene. Kevin Bacon, as the villainous Sebastian Shaw, was a real surprise. I’ve known that he can play evil very well … and that talent really shows well in this film. As for the writing, I mean, damn … they did a great job bringing the origins of the X-Men to life. Tying in actual historical events with comic book fiction is genius! Did you know the entire Cuban Missile Crisis was brought about by interference by rogue mutants? Well, in the 1960′s world of X-Men: First Class … they did! I was also very impressed with the origin stories of some of the X-Men. My only complaint is that I wish they had explained Raven Darkholme/Mystique‘s origins better than her just showing up one day. There are a couple of really fun cameos (that could be easily spoiled, so don’t go looking for them online if you want to be surprised). My biggest complaint about the film was the FX … some of the scenes looked really cheap. My guess is that the studio didn’t give the film a massive budget and corners had to be cut. Still, the acting and storytelling more than made up for the film’s shortcomings. I honestly loved everything about this film. As soon as it was over, I wanted to watch it all over again. Hands down, X-Men: First Class is the best X-Men movie ever made. It really has a good shot at being the best superhero film of the year. From start to finish, First Class is a fun ride. I really love, love, loved this movie.
FROM MTV NEWSROOM: James Franco is already the hyphenate's hyphenate, but now, the acting-directing-art-making-multiple-university-attending-cat-bench-pressing-frequently-squinting star is adding another prefix to his eternally lengthening list of gigs: musician. Well, sort of. Because while Franco has joined forces with "video/performance artist" Kalup Linzy to create the aptly-named duo Kalup & Franco (they'll release their debut EP, Turn It [...]
Blood is officially running all over your television set, and you have "Ironclad" to thank. Director Jonathan English's medieval action flick — which features an intensely talented cast of actors including James Purefoy, Paul Giamatti, Brian Cox, Derek Jacobi and Charles Dance — arrives on VOD today (June 8), and we've got an exclusive clip from the movie for your viewing pleasure.
"Ironclad" focuses on a group of Knights Templar who are at war with King John (Giamatti), the ruthless ruler on the cusp of signing the Magna Carta treaty. The people aren't particularly pleased with their "good" king, and not without good reason. But John's fed up with rebellion and ungratefulness, as poor Brian Cox is about to learn the hard way.
The movie, which arrives on VOD today, lands in theaters on July 8.
One of the most important components for any guitar setup is a great set of speakers. Axe players need a good set in order to properly hear the music they're playing, and purchasing the wrong ones can lead to less than stellar sound. Players say a guitar is only as good as its speaker, and if you're not going to buy an adequate speaker bundle, then there's no point in purchasing or owning a professional six-string.
Make beats on your computer and you could be right up there with the pros when it comes to creating your own unique sound. These days, with a variety of beat making programs available, it is possible for just about anyone to create music.

How many singers out there would really like to record themselves, but can't play an instrument and don't have any friends who do either? Wouldn't it be fantastic if you needed to send in a demo or audition recording for a specific song, and your computer could play all the instruments for you while you add the vocals? This article will tell you how this is very do-able right now.
Born in 1960, Adam Clayton was the eldest son of Brian and Jo Clayton. Birthplace was Oxfordshire, England, but not for long however. Brian Clayton was a pilot, so the family moved around a bit, before finally settling down in Malahide, Ireland. Adam was now 5 years-old. He spent some time playing with neighborhood kids. Including the Evans' kids, Dave, his brother Dick and sister Gillian. If you don't know already or if you read the other bios, Dave Evans would later become Adam's U2 bandmate, the Edge. The two families parted ways and the inevitable would have to wait until Adam would read Larry's note on Mount Temple's bulletin board.
