More "Chinese Democracy" rumors

Hello,

Here are some more "Chinese Democracy" rumors. According to rollingstone.com, billboard.com and several other websites 9 remastered tracks allegedly were briefly on the internet yesterdayThey were at fellow music blog antiquiet.com. (As with anything about this CD take it with a mountain of salt, not a grain of salt.) Of the people who allegedly heard these tracks, the response is mixed. Their were only two reactions, either they absolutely loved them or absolutely hated them. So who knows if this is real or yet just another tease on the 13 year journey of making this CD. I am secretly hoping this CD will be like the Raconteurs last CD. In that one day it was announced it was going to be released and then it was available the next week. Also according to the blogger at antiquiet.com the 9 tracks he heard yesterday were pretty good. I say after waiting 13 years the CD better be fantastic. But then again the new Indiana Jones took 19 years to make and it was disappointing, so who knows. Keep here for more updates. Unless it is absolutely terrible here is my review, this CD rocks.

Last night I remembered why I love rock and roll and specifically "Guns 'N' Roses. Although I have a fairly easy job, when I am at work all day I still get tired. So last night I am coming home about 12:30 and I have the radio on, where it is rare anymore to hear an outstanding song anymore. I had just flipped the station and "Paradise City" had just started. I turned up the radio and rocked out. What a fantastic song, that was a nice reminder why I love music so much. Music has helped me keep my sanity during some unpleasant times.

Here is one more quick movie review thanks to Comcast On Demand. I watched the 1978 movie "F.I.S.T." the other day. This movie stars Slyvester Stallone and the Mom from "A Christmas Story" as his girlfriend/eventual wife. It is an okay movie, definitely a video movie.

Today's band of the day is Wolfmother. So far they have only released one CD, the self-titled, "Wolfmother". This is a CD that you must buy, most of the songs are good. But there are five songs that are great, "Apple Tree", "Joker and the Thief", "Dimension", "Tales" and "Mind's Eye". Seriously if you don't have this CD you must buy it asap. Classic CD of the day, "Rumours" by Fleetwood Mac. I see a lot of you out there rolling your eyes. I know what you are thinking but I am not saying this is the best CD of all-time. I am saying it is a damn fine CD. A lot of the band members were breaking up from significant relationships while making this CD. That is sad, but the art that came out of that is remarkable. This CD includes the songs, "Dreams", "Don't Stop", "Go Your Own Way", "The Chain" (the best of all Fleetwood Mac songs, the live version from their reunion CD "The Dance" is simply amazing), "You Make Lovin' Fun", "Gold Dust Woman" and the obscure but great "Secondhand News". This is practically a greatest hits record. Thanks to my Rhapsody account, I was able to listen to this fantastic CD twice this morning.

Also with it being Friday, amazon.com has five reduced CD's for only $5. They have the Robert Plant/ Allison Krauss "Raising Sand" CD. I have this CD and it is okay. They also have CD's by the Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra, Andrea Bocelli and Linkin Park. If you want any of those MP3 CD's at that price you have until Monday to get them. Also with the new Coldplay CD coming out Tuesday, they have had the deeply discounted CD's this week being CD's by Coldplay. Today you can get Coldplay's "Brothers and Sisters" for only 99 cents. (Hey amazon.com can you run the same promotion for Motley Crue when their new CD comes out next week?)

Also goombah.com has several songs highlighted today for it's Free Friday promotion. The highlights of those songs are the songs by the female blues musician, Janiva Magness. She has 7 songs available free at goombah.com. She has a lot of great songs, including some real blistering blues songs. So you definitely should download those, all 7 of those tracks are free.

Songs rocking my iPod: 1) "Myriad Harbor"- New Pornographers 2) "Drop Dead Gorgeous"-Republica. 3) "I Will Survive"- Gloria Gaynor (Is that old school enough for you?) 4) "Hang On Girl"- Favourite Sons 5) "Skyway Avenue"- We The Kings 6) "Illegal"- Tim McGraw 7) "B***** in Tokyo"- The Stars 8) "No Myth"- Michael Penn -9) "Strutter"- Kiss 10) "Modern Swingers"- Pink Spiders 11) "Last Resort"- Papa Roach and 12) "Creepin' Up The Back Stairs"- The Fratellis.

A couple of final notes. Right now, again thanks to Rhapsody, I am listening to the most recent Tori Amos CD, "American Doll Posse". I am not a big fan of Tori Amos, but this CD is pretty darn good. Obviously her first CD "Little Earthquakes" is a classic. Unfortunately I think she will be one of those many artists who never top their first CD. Although this CD comes close. Upcoming, next week reviews of both the "AI" second and first place finishers and what has happened to them since their experiences. I will also announce more of my Top 50 artists of all-time. I have been working on this list, but I keep on changing my mind. So I am going to think about it some more. Also I have the review of the new Alanis CD. Next week is the release of the new Motley Crue CD, "The Saints of Los Angeles" and I will be reviewing that as well. I will also be writing about why the Barnes and Noble CD section sucks so bad. As always any questions or comments please send them in.

Have a great weekend, themusicaddict
