April 4, 2012 – Esperanza Spalding is a groovy chick. I mean, really, when she’s in the room, everyone else disappears and I’m talkin’ more than that big “love-sculpture” hair. She’s the type of musician you might walk up to at a party, ask about her music, and walk away three hours later regretting the question. This lady has a vision so you better have a seat. 
April 3, 2012 – Great news for Pink Floyd fans. After a slew of re-releases last year there’s more to come with the DVD documentary on the making of another classic album, ‘Wish You Were Here.’

February 7, 2012 – Unwrapping this one might bring back Christmas-past memories of a re-gifting faux pas. As they say it must be a great gift if they are giving it back to you?

Jan 31, 2012 - Good news for all the Norah Jones fans out there! The singer is set to release a new album in spring called 'Little Broken Hearts.'

January 23, 2012 - John Mayer has been out of the spotlight since he cancelled numerous gigs last year to undergo throat surgery.

Sept, 2011 – On her third album Colbie Caillat has decided to strategically give us an uptempo summer-vibe. It still sounds like her smash debut “Coco” but this time it’s Colbie with caffeine and it’s positive and fun.

Ron Wood Hints at Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Tour This is just one month after Charlie Watts said something very similar about a possible tour. Stones fans are hopeful. We could hear an announcement soon? – By John Beaudin
Will The Rolling Stones Tour for 50th Anniversary? This is definitely the case with the Rolling Stones who are promoting the release of two “Some Girls” projects: a reissue of the 1978 album, containing 12 tracks from the original sessions; and, "Some Girls Live in Texas 1978" on DVD and Blu-ray. This is all good when the band is talking 1978, but what about now? The Stones are being hit with the big question if they will put together a tour to mark their 50th Anniversary. Fans are talking since Keith Richards also told Rolling Stone Magazine that he is planning to meet with Charlie Watts and Ronnie Woods later this month in a London studio. "We're just going to play a little together, because we haven't played for three or four years," Keith explains. "You don't necessarily want to rehearse or write anything – you just want to touch bases. That's a good start: me, Charlie and Ronnie. Mick's welcome, and I'm sure he'll turn up, but right now we just want to get our chops down." I get a feeling if the moment moves them anything is possible and the fans are always standing by .- Shannon Edwards

Rolling Stones May be Planning Anniversary Concert There seemed to be a riff between Richards and his old co-hort Mick Jagger after the guitarists’ memoirs were published last year but things have been patched up. “Mick pouted a bit, as is his wont, ” he said. “I told him, ‘It’s water under the bridge. I want to talk about the future. We’re larger than a little bitching.’” Meanwhile Jagger has been busy forming the group Super Heavy featuring Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics and Joss Stone. – by John Beaudin

February 29, 2012 – We are starting to hear leaks concerning the Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Tour. Here is what Ron Wood told Radio Times, "[It would] be lovely, wouldn't it? That's what we're on the verge of. I don't know what the hell is going to happen yet, but we all feel we owe it to ourselves and to the people to do something. Basically, [we need to] get the boys feeling comfortable with each other, because we're all ready to go individually. It's just a matter of tying up loose ends and coming together as a unit."
