--The Dave Matthews Band's new album, "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King" debuted at number 1 on Billboard's hot 100 albums chart. This marks DMB's fifth time selling over 400,000 albums during the first week of release. Good for them. I for one, can't wait to buy the album, along with Green Day's "21st Century Breakdown (which fell to the #5 slot on the aforementioned chart) on Friday.
--Clear Channel Media and Front Line Management have put their corporate heads together and come up with a unique way to listen to music: artist personal experience (a.p.e.). It will be a stand alone company that allows artists to have their own radio stations. Each artist will choose the music played, as well as give commentary and interviews mixed in. So far three artists have signed up: the Eagles, Weezer and Christina Aguilara. The stations can be heard on Clear Channel's stations websites, the band's personal websites or iheartradio application on the Blackberry and iPhone. Sounds pretty neat to me! When I find out when it launches, I will blog about it.
--Michael Jackson is reportedly bringing the Neverland Ranch with him on tour in Europe. He wants to turn the London area pad he will be renting through the tour into a replica of his California based funhouse. In addition to a fun house, MJ wants a bowling alley and a ferris wheel installed. Is anyone else scratching their heads going "Huh? Why?" besides me?
