Party Down With Gossip Girl Leighton Meester!
Posted on Nov 18, 2009 @ 01:45PM - Add a comment
Last night, party-goers at the grand opening of the American Eagle store in Times Square got a real taste of New York when Gossip Girl Leighton Meester took the stage for a four-song set.
PHOTOS: Party Down With Gossip Girl in New York!
That’s right, you might know her best as Blair Waldorf, but, much like her co-star Taylor Momsen, who inked a record deal with Interscope and performs live with her band Pretty Reckless, Leighton has musical aspirations as well, having signed with Universal Republic and released her first single Somebody To Love last month. It will be interesting to see which gal’s album comes out first, and which one the Gossip Girl teen set sends further up the charts.
After a DJ set by Pete Wentz, Leighton took the stage looking like the anti-Blair. Her lips were painted red, her eyelids gold, and she wore extra-long lashes and her hair piled on top of her head in a sassy updo with blunt bangs. In colorful skintight latex leggings, a black tube top, chunky gold necklace, and not much else, she jumped around with her hands in the air, and seemed to be singing along with a backing track. There was no band, though she was backed by some hunky back-up dancers clad in American Eagle cardigans.

Leighton sang a snippet of Good Girls Go Bad, her hit song with Cobra Starship (that gave the band their highest Billboard chart ranking, going in at #4), and three of her more upbeat tracks, including her single, Somebody To Love, along with Make It Rain and Not As Cool As You Think You Are, which she announced was “dedicated to a douchebag.”
Leighton’s debut album is scheduled for a March release and she’s working with producers who have worked with Britney Spears, the Pussycat Dolls and Fergie -- not exactly bad company to keep. And she says she has a penchant for “strong women with a unique sound,” including Madonna, Debbie Harry and Gwen Stefani, along with newer artists like Santigold and Lykke Li.

See It Here: The Ting Tings' 'Great DJ' Video

Check out The Ting Tings' new video for "Great DJ." After a successfull year and a half run of We Started Nothing the band shot an official live video with fans in LA for their third single "Great DJ." Enjoy the footage below. The Ting Tings currently reside in Berlin while working on new material! To get updates from the band, follow them on their Twitter.
"The Ting Tings have established a reputation for themselves with their eye-popping music videos. On Sept. 19, the English pop duo invited 350 of their fans in Los Angeles to join them for a live performance that would go on to become the video for their single 'Great DJ.'
However, this is far from your run-of-the-mill live performance video. All 350 partygoers were given matching black Adidas tracksuits and invited to go wild with some glow-in-the-dark paint. The psychedelic results of this indie-rock paint party are definitely worth watching. Have a look after the jump." - Spinner

Neil Young’s Re-mastered Masterpieces Coming Soon!
Posted on Nov 06, 2009 @ 03:09PM - Add a comment
Neil Young's first four solo albums have been re-mastered from the original analog master tapes, and are being re-released as part of Reprise Records reissue campaign, the record company announced.
"In all my years of working vinyl releases, I was shocked at just how incredible these Neil Young re-masters sound," Warner Bros. GM Tom Biery told RadarOnline.com. "There is no doubt in my mind that when listening to these recordings on the new, upgraded vinyl format, it will be as close as anyone will audibly come to actually being in the studio listening to the original master tapes. It now sounds as if you are in the room with Neil during the session."
The albums -- 1969’s Neil Young and Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, 1970’s After the Gold Rush, and 1972’s Harvest -- will be available on both vinyl and CD, in a variety of assortments priced to the consumer's budget.
Three-thousand gold foil-stamped box sets of all four records, pressed on audiophile 180 gram vinyl, will be available exclusively through NeilYoung.com, as well as Becausesoundmatters.com. Also available is a set of all four albums encased in 24 karat gold CDs, and packaged in Gary Burden-designed cardboard wallet packs.
The re-mastered albums hit stores Nov. 23; special editions are available via the aforementioned Web sites.
