Paramore Live in Glasgow

Been looking out for videos from the Glasgow show last night by Paramore and so far the sound quality is not that brilliant. This one below is the best so far (though the picture is a bit shakey at times.

Mama Cass Elliot

Was listening to some old Cass Elliot albums today and then found this little biog on You Tube. Thought I'd share it.

Flyleaf

It's been a long wait for the follow up to Flyleaf's superb debut album. 'Momento Mori' hits the stores on 10th November 2009. The first single from the album is called 'Again' and here's the official video released recently by the band.

Creed

They're back in business again. After an 8 year lay off Creed are back rocking the place up. The new album 'Full Circle' is not really much of a departure from the old stuff and no doubt those who hated them first time around will be up and at them again. But for those who were loyal to the band it is indeed a welcome return. In their absence it's bands like Nickelback who have taken their mantel, but Stapp and Co. are back to reclaim it!

Paramore: MTV Unplugged

Paramore have been getting lots of good press of late. With their latest release 'Brand New Eyes' knocking Madonna off of the number one spot here in the UK, to a successful tour supporting No Doubt, various cover shots of the important music magazines and an already sold out UK Tour coming up in December, they are the "in band" at the moment.

On October 28th in the USA they took part in an MTV Unplugged show and pretty good it was.

21 Days: All Seeing - The Alarm

I have taken the step of completely re-recording 'All Seeing' for '21'.

The persistence of certain fans have kept this song in my mind for a long time. It has always been a requested song whenever I have thrown open the opportunity for someone to change the course of my live set. Originally cut for the 'In The Poppy Fields Bond', I wrote this song in Wales and the first person to hear it was Craig Adams, who came up with a very melodic bass guitar part to my original tune (in the kitchen of his home), which I felt warranted his credit as co-writer. In this brand new version, Craig's bass part has now become the guitar line! I think this version captures the song at it's best.

I think it's time for the '21' album because we have been touring / recording as The Alarm in the modern / 21st century era for just about 10 years now, and with 'Guerilla Tactics' currently sitting as the third best selling 'Alarm' album of all time on iTunes (Declaration / Strength are number 1 and 2 but have been on iTunes since 2000), I felt it was time to bring all our new / reconverted fans up to date with a collection of the best songs from the modern era.

I also wanted this collection of songs to sound like an 'album' and not a compilation. Therefore, I took the step of re-recording / remixing / re-working every single song so that the recordings sound like they were cut yesterday and not over a period of years. I wanted the record to have the consistency of 'Guerilla Tactics' and felt that songs such as 'All Seeing' could have a big part to play in the running order. '21' has the best versions of everything that has been played ever since the 'new' Alarm sounded again on the Big Country tour of 1999/2000.

Mike Peters

The first video from the '21' project by The Alarm has been unveiled and it is 'All Seeing'. The album is due for release on 2nd November 2009.
