Your Favourite Songs as Novel Book Covers
Lyrics are meaningful and they often tell a powerful story, but sometimes caught aback by the catchy tune we often neglect to think about how the lyrics actually come across. Take Thriller for example by Michael Jackson, a chilling Halloween associated song if you go by the lyrics but it’s often a party classic due to the funky dance moves. Likewise, Copacabana, a well-known karaoke hit that stems generations, the lyrics however are quite dark.
Songs are lyrically skilled and if you stop and spend the time carefully listening to the words, you may be surprised at some of the epic stories they could be turned into. The Online Pen Company decided to created book covers based on the nation’s favourite songs and when you see them, you’ll never be able to hear favourite tunes the same way again.
Watch Mister Rogers Accept His Lifetime Achievement Emmy

So many people have helped me to come here to this night. Some of you are here, some are far away and some are even in Heaven. All of us have special ones who loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, 10 seconds to think of the people who have helped you become who you are, those who cared about you and wanted what was best for you in life. 10 seconds, I’ll watch the time. Whomever you’ve been thinking about, how pleased they must be to know the difference you feel they have made. You know they’re kind of people television does well to offer our world. Special thanks to my family, my friends, and my co-workers in Public Broadcasting and Family Communications, and to this Academy for encouraging me, allowing me, all these years to be your neighbor. May God be with you. Thank you very much.

Could this invention be the future of ear plugs at concerts?
Ear plugs are decidedly not a “cool” thing to wear at concerts. But you may still be familiar with that ringing in your ears after a loud concert that just kept bugging you. That’s called tinnitus and, shockingly, it’s real bad for your hearing. Experts agree that long exposure to levels of sound over 85dB can cause hearing loss, and most clubs and concerts are over 100dB. That’s why EarDial was invented. This comfortable, discreet hearing protection was specially designed for loud music environments. It filters noise so you can enjoy the music, and still chat with your friends.

Eddie Vedder’s Isolated Tracks for Pearl Jam’s Alive, Black, and Porch
Pearl Jam’s Ten was not an immediate success when it was first released in August, 1991, but by late 1992 it had reached number two on the Billboard 200 chart. While Pearl Jam was accused of jumping on the grunge bandwagon at the time — despite the fact that Ten had been both recorded and released before Nirvana’s Nevermind—Ten was instrumental in popularizing alternative rock in the mainstream. In February 2013, the album crossed the 10 million mark in sales, becoming the 22nd one to do so in the Nielsen SoundScan era and has been certified 13× platinum by the RIAA. It remains Pearl Jam’s most commercially successful album.
With that, let’s check out three songs from that album, and the isolated vocals of Eddie Vedder – Alive, Black, and Porch:
The Charlatans UK reveal tour dates for the fall in Mexico, the United States and Canada
UK indie legends The Charlatans UK have revealed tour dates in Mexico, the United States and Canada set for the fall of this year. Full details below. The dates follow the release of their thirteenth studio album Different Days last year and include the band’s first Canadian shows in over a decade.
Different Days was co-produced with Jim Spencer at the band’s studio in Cheshire, England. The album features contributions from an array of friends, from Paul Weller and Johnny Marr, to crime writer Ian Rankin and writer/actress Sharon Horgan.
For the new album, the core quartet of vocalist Tim Burgess, bassist Martin Blunt, guitarist Mark Collins and keyboard player Tony Rogers, opened their doors to allow an enviable cast of friends to contribute to their latest work. The first call went to Pete Salisbury, the former Verve drummer, and Anton Newcombe from Brian Jonestown Massacre was sent an early version of ‘Not Forgotten’ and had sent back some thoughts within fifteen minutes.
The admiration for the band’s new ideas continued – Johnny Marr dropped by for an hour, but stayed for five, and features on three songs including the leading single ‘Plastic Machinery’. Similarly, Stephen Morris of New Order, who briefly helped out on Modern Nature, extended his role on this album to seven tracks of drumming and programming. Both Ian Rankin and Kurt Wagner offer spoken word contributions, and Catastrophe writer/actress Sharon Horgan sings backing vocals on ‘Different Days’. As the spirit of collaboration prospered, Burgess fast-tracked a long-discussed team-up with Paul Weller, for the expansive album finale ‘Spinning Out’.
Different Days follows on from the success of The Charlatans’ last album Modern Nature, which drew critical praise and gave them their eighth top 10 on the UK album chart, all capped off with a Lifetime Achievement award from Q Magazine. The Charlatans had a whirlwind 2015, completing two sold-out UK tours, popping up as the unannounced opening act at Glastonbury, and headlining Isle Of Wight Festival.
