I'm caught up

I don't know what to do

Time goes by so slowly

Time goes by so slowly

Time goes by so slowly

I don't know what to do

You'll wake up one day

But it'll be too late

(every little thing every little thing)

(waiting for your call waiting for your call)

Every little thing

I don't know what to do

Never Fake It. Ever.I can't hear you. What'd you say?Who's got the bottle?

Check out the soundtrack.

See the movie.

It's that intense.

And it's written by a teacher,

and it was his first shot out of the gate.

Who Asked You?Alice Cooper on Susan Boyle + Queen

Alice Cooper has an idea of his own for the music industry.

“Susan Boyle could be the lead singer of Queen easily. She could actually dress like the Queen and she could sing any note that Freddie Mercury could sing. She’d be the perfect choice.”

Cooper laughed, turning to his manager as if he was waiting for him to start making calls. “That would be great. If they don’t do that, there’s something wrong. Queen and Susan Boyle doing ‘Fat Bottomed Girl’ with her dressed as the Queen. It’s the song of the year.”

Agreed!

Now somebody just needs to make that happen.

Depeche Mode Give It Up for Kids' CancerRoyal Albert Hall

Depeche Mode were joined onstage by former member Alan Wilder at the Royal Albert Hall in London last night (February 17).

The keyboardist, who left Depeche Mode after 13 years in 1995, played piano on encore-opener 'Somebody' to a rapturous response from the sell-out crowd. Fans are now speculating whether Wilder's appearance at the one-off Teenage Cancer Trust show could herald a return to the band.

Introduced on stage by Teenage Cancer Trust curator Roger Daltrey, Depeche Mode performed a sprawling 20-song set strewn with classics.

The set-list was as follows:

1. In Chains
2. Wrong
3. Hole to Feed
4. Walking in My Shoes
5. It's No Good
6. A Question of Time
7. Precious
8. World In My Eyes
9. One Caress
10. Home
11. Come Back
12. Policy of Truth
13. In Your Room
14. I Feel You
15. Enjoy the Silence
16. Never Let Me Down Again

Encore:
17. Somebody (with Alan Wilder on piano)
18. Stripped
19. Photographic
20. Personal Jesus

Beat The Rain!

Beat The Rain

CNN’S CAMPBELL BROWN: Let me ask you, it's been a month since the earthquake, I mean, first struck. In your mind right now, given what you've seen, what do you think the most pressing concern is?

SEAN PENN: The rain. When the rain comes, it's going to be a public health disaster. They could easily be on the scale of the earthquake itself. Disease is spreading already, tuberculosis, typhoid, tetanus, malaria. The place, you know, which already had incredible hygiene problems within the neighborhoods, now with the earthquake, this is a new disaster waiting to happen.

J/P HRO is currently engaged in the BEAT THE RAIN campaign to encourage the safe relocation and temporary shelter of more than 75,000 earthquake victims before the expected rain season begins in March 2010.

J/P HRO is engaged in a massive relocation project as the organization is lobbying local government officials for expedited inspections of homes (and therefore quick relocation of citizens). The Club de Pétionville (Petionville Club) where J/P HRO is stationed is a golf course area that has been converted into a tent city by the US Army and now houses about 75,000 Haitian citizens. When the rain season begins, the rains could quickly spread diseases such as cholera, tuberculosis, typhoid, tetanus, and malaria could cause a second wave of devastation.

The shock of the earthquake is quickly being replaced by anger. While there is enormous appreciation for the unprecedented relief effort, concern is growing that it may all be for naught, if the means are not put in place for secure, temporary housing which can withstand the rains. There is also growing concern that riots could break out if displaced citizens are physically forced out of the tent city due to severe conditions.

To prevent this, J/P HRO is striving to raise funds to build 500 sq. ft rain-proof temporary homes and expedite the relocation. The estimated cost for this project is roughly $8,000,000.00.

Help is needed urgently. Please join J/P HRO’s BEAT THE RAIN campaign and sponsor a temporary home now, by visiting our donation page.

88|George MichaelPraying for Time

So you scream from behind your door
Say what's mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much but I'll take my chances
'Cause God's stopped keeping score
And you cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you?
That he can't come back
'Cause he has no children to come back for

Sharleen Spiteri|Xanadu

Sharleen Spiteri's long-awaited follow-up to MELODY is due to be released in about another month. Entitled MOVIEBOOK, it's a disc of covers including some sure to be knocked out of the park: Prince's TAKE ME WITH YOU, Tom Jones' WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT, Simon and Garfunkel's SOUNDS OF SILENCE, and other aural delights.

AND she's also headed back into the studio with TEXAS following Ally's surprise, and very welcome, recovery from his brain illness. Seems like 2010 is going to see a great bit of Sharleen and the gang.

And what's this I hear about Sharleen getting bitten by the acting bug?

Multi-million selling singer-songwriter SHARLEEN SPITERI releases her brand new album ‘THE MOVIE SONGBOOK’ through Mercury Records on March 1st 2010.The follow up to her top three debut solo album ‘Melody’, ‘The Movie Songbook’ is the ninth studio album Sharleen’s made in an incredible 21 year recording career. A collection of Sharleen’s favourite soundtracks, ‘The Movie Songbook’ stands as her most dynamically diverse album yet, a kaleidoscopic musical journey from pop to country via disco, bossa-nova, folk, rockabilly, jazz and breathtaking balladry. Enlisting 15 time Grammy award-winner Phil Ramone on production (who has produced various Hollywood legends from Marilyn Monroe to Frank Sinatra via Liza Minnelli and Barbra Streisand); ‘The Movie Songbook’ was recorded in just 8 days at the legendary Capital Studios in Hollywood with the help of the finest soundtrack session musicians around.. And the result is a fantastic collection of cinematic show stoppers. Be it the aching croon of ‘God Bless The Child’, the disco rush of ‘Xanadu’, the rockabilly sass of ‘Cat People (Putting Out Fire) or the soul-searching tempest of ‘The Sound Of Silence’, its dozen tracks frame Sharleen’s inimitable voice against bold new scenery. “Making The Movie has taught me that my true voice lies in this area and not to be scared of using it,” she agrees. “In the past I’ve always tended to go into a soul area but this experience has been great in taking me places I’d never normally go. It’s been a valuable lesson in other styles and new ways of working. I feel excited about taking that forward into Texas and wherever it is we go next.’
