34 Madonna songs that changed the world?

We just got this in our work email. Her management team is claiming that her new money-milking compilation has “34 tracks that changed the world…” Really? What? “4 Minutes” or “Miles Away?” Maybe “Don’t Tell Me?” Oh, wait…. “Revolver” might be the next “Billie Jean!” Queen, please!

Our second favorite New Zealander (after Bic Runga) has got to move on from her debut album and get to the second album. This has been going on for ages. It’s too old and too heard. No more remixes or EPs or singles. She needs to get out some new material if she wants to keep the buzz going.
Air’s new album “Love 2″ has leaked!
A week ahead of it’s time and just in time to make up for the sham that is Zero 7′s Yeah Ghost, Love 2 makes the illegal blog rounds. You can download it now. Look it up here. Anyway, let’s hope it’s great.

Her dramatic visuals are lush and powerful, but she doesn’t have the beats to match. Everything we have heard from In Love & War has been a disaster. Maybe that’s why she is so dramatic.

Erik Hassle has three videos for “Hurtful”
4Erik Hassle has released three videos for his single “Hurtful.” The original video is better (below) than the rest. But, they must be for Scandinavian, American and British markets. The newest one is the suckiest. It really doesn’t do the song any justice.

Kings Of Convenience’s “Declaration Of Dependence” has leaked

Kings Of Convenience’s third and highly anticipated new album has leaked a month before its release date. That’s not good, because indie fans won’t wanna wait. And from second listen, it could be their best release yet. it’s breezy and summery and just all kinds of pretty.

Oh, the renditions never cease to pop up. This is a great one, though.
