Gavin Rossdale plays Bush hits at London gig

Gavin Rossdale played his debut UK solo show last night (June 12) at Camden's Underworld.

London-born Rossdale, who now lives in Los Angeles with wife Gwen Stefani, played a set packed full of hits by his former band Bush, including 'Swallowed' and Glycerine'.

Taking to the stage with his band just after 9.20pm (BST) Rossdale, wearing a black shirt and silver chains and basked in a red light, launched straight into Bush song 'Machine Head'.

Before the second track Gavin nodded and smiled to the gathered crowd asking: "Hello, you alright?"

After playing a few more tracks, which saw the already clearly excited crowd chanting back word-for-word, a now sweat-drenched Rossdale told the crowd: "It's been too long, it's real good to see you."

Then Gavin took off his guitar and pulled the mike off the stand to perform new solo song 'This Is Happiness'.

Then after another two solo album tracks Rossdale said: "Thank you, I just want to say a special hello to all my friends who came down - all the locals."

Then the band launched into Bush's biggest UK hit, 'Swallowed', that saw Rossdale show off his guitar skills with the solo near the end.

Before the encore Rossdale said: "I played here with Bush when we were coming up and I love this place." He then launched into a spine-tingling rendition of his old band's hit 'Glycerine', which received an abundance of cheers.

The band joined him again and after another two songs an obviously touched Rossdale, now drenched head to toe in sweat but still smiling, said: "Thank you so much. We look forward to coming back to play to you in London real soon, if I had my way. But thanks for coming out we appreciate that."

Gavin Rossdale played:

'Machinehead'
'Frontline'
'Can't Stop The World'
'Everything Zen'
'The Trouble I'm In'
'This Is Happiness'
'If Youre Not With Us You're Against Us'

Old NASA footage shows space program in new light

By Barry Garron


LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - High definition is not
just a way of making video look crisp and bright. It also is a
reason for making programs -- maybe the reason -- as "When We
Left Earth" suggests.


One can say, as the Discovery Channel does in its press
materials, that this comprehensive and authoritative six-hour
miniseries running June 8, 15 and 22 was produced to mark the
50th anniversary of NASA and the U.S. exploration of space. In
reality, though there is abundant history on the space program,
there is scant information that hasn't already been seen, heard
or written somewhere else.


What makes this mini different from all those other
projects is that, for the first time, we get to see rare NASA
footage -- sort of like the space agency's home video -- which
was removed from cold storage and transferred to high
definition just for this project.


And what footage it is. Not merely breathtaking space and
launch photos but clips that reveal the risks, danger and
anxiety of NASA employees and astronaut wives at each new
venture.


It is so simple and certain in hindsight but the NASA films
show the palpable tension in Mission Control, such as just
before Apollo 8 emerged from the dark side of the moon and
broke out of lunar orbit. Other highlights include training for
the unexpected, fiery rockets and the cool blue of an Earth
rise seen from the moon.


In between clips of vintage NASA footage (more than 100
hours of old film was converted to high definition for this
project) are bits of recent interviews with astronauts and
flight directors, often recollecting events of decades past as
if they had just happened that morning.


Like the space capsules themselves, this mini speeds
through its mission. Each of the first three hours, for
example, are spent, respectively, on the Mercury, Gemini and
Apollo programs.


Tune in to learn about the strategy of each launch and for
those amazing vintage films. Keep in mind, though, that with
the focus so squarely on NASA, there is little reference to
other concurrent but related events, such as domestic politics
or the Cold War.

R Kelly - Former R Kelly Employee Identifies Singer On Sex Tape

A former employee of R Kelly claims to have recognised the R 'n' B star in a video allegedly showing Kelly having sex with an underage girl.

The I Believe I Can Fly star is accused of filming himself engaging in sex acts with a girl who prosecutors say may have been as young as 13 at the time.

And Lindsay Perryman, his former personal assistant, told jurors at the Chicago trial that she was "110 per cent" sure that he was the man seen in the footage.

"I did not want to believe it was Mr Kelly," Ms Perryman told the jury.

"I think so highly of him and his family, they have been so good to me."

The 26-minute video allegedly showing Kelly and an underage girl was shown to jurors at last week, with Cook County prosecutor Shauna Boliker warning the jury they would see footage of an "underage child performing sex acts that you have never seen before".

Ms Perryman said that, should the man in the video be proved to be R Kelly, she would be surprised as it would signify out-of-character behaviour.

"I have never seen him being inappropriate," she explained.

"He treated me and the people who worked for him well."

The singer's legal team claims that the video depicts neither Kelly nor the alleged victim.

Kelly's lawyer Sam Adam Jr described the tape last week as "at best a copy of a copy of a copy" and claimed that neither the FBI nor "a single witness" could conclusively identify his client as the man in the tape, according to the Associated Press news agency.

Bennie Edwards Jr, a cousin of the alleged victim, said the video "favoured" the allegation that his cousin and Kelly were the people shown in the footage but said he could not say for certain.

The trial continues.

One of 2006's virtually unexpected indie success stories, Bayrut combines a wide assortment of styles, from pre-rock protrude medicine and Eastern European gipsy styles to the alternately plaintive and impulsive indie folk music of the Decemberists and the lo-fi, homemade psychedelic experimentation of Neutral Milk Hotel. That the primal digit in entirely of this is a adolescent from Albuquerque, NM, makes Beirut's debut album, Gulag Orkestar, totally the more surprising.


Something of a musical theater prognostic, isaac Bashevis Singer and multi-instrumentalist Zach Condon was qualification one-person D.I.Y. sleeping accommodation recordings by his early on teens; in interviews, he claims to have recorded an entire album of 1950s-style doo dago material and a appeal of electronic pop songs elysian by the Magnetic William Claude Dukenfield. (So, Condon's crying vocal bringing and dispirited, more or less shaky side sound like a scene elysian by the Fields' Stephin Merritt.) Afterwards falling tabu of high schooling, Condon claims to take in traveled through and through Europe at the long time of 16, in the swear out becoming uncovered to the Balkan sept and romany medicament that's at the heart of Gulag Orkestar. Back rest home in Albuquerque, Condon crossed paths with companion Fresh Mexican Jeremy Barnes, erst of Neutral Milk Hotel, whose possess albums as A Hawk and a Metal saw share likewise ethnographical interests with Condon's novel material. With the help of Barnes and his A Mortarboard and a Hack saw partner, Heather Trost, Condon recorded the songs that would get at up Gulag Orkestar for the most persona on his feature, playing pianoforte piano accordion, keyboards, saxophone, clarinet, mandolin, ukulele, horns, orchestral bells, and percussion along with Barnes' drums and Trost's violoncello and violin.


After Barnes gave an other version of the record album to Ba Da Bing! Records label head Ben Reuben Lucius Goldberg, the newly christened band Beirut was signed to the Freshly Jersey-based pronounce and Condon touched from Albuquerque to Brooklyn, where he order unitedly a floating collective of half-time bandmembers along the lines of Broken Sociable Aspect for live performances. Following the liberation of Gulag Orkestar in Crataegus oxycantha 2006, decisive approbation apace affected from the smallest blogs to mainstream media outlets that pegged Condon as a one-woman cartroad 'tween Jeff Mangum, Conor Oberst, and Sufjan George Stevens.
