Ha! Enjoy ITN's brief Q&A session in the clip below. MP3 at bottom of post. MP3: Elbow - One Day Like This

Tom Jones y Robbie Williams , quien quiso retirarse de la música para irse a buscar OVNIs , hicieron una grabación juntos . Jones comentó que ambos viven en Los Angeles y que todo fue de pura casualidad. Comentó que se lo encontró y Robbie le dijo si no quería ir a su casa para que grabaran algo juntos. Lógicamente le dijo que sí y todo salió como esperaban. También explicó que Robbie tiene un estudio portátil en su recamara y que es ahí donde lo hicieron. En la canción [...]

Il 2009 sembra portare nuove e strane collaborazioni sul fronte musicale. Infatti pare che Leona Lewis e Robbie Williams abbiano ingaggiato per i loro prossimi album colleghi (di tutto rispetto) per cercare di portare nuova linfa vitale al loro percorso artistico. Leona avrebbe chiesto esplicitamente di collaborare assieme a Chris Martin , leader dei Coldplay . La richiesta ci giunge alquanto strana visto che l'accostamento Leona/rock non pare essere dei più interessanti dato che sappiamo tutti quanto la voce della cantante sia particolarmente indicata per le ballate r&B e non per pezzi [...]

Y parece que todo el mundo quiere trabajar ahora con Dizzee Rascal . Es cierto que es el año del rapero, pero sin duda estas cosas no son más que modas que pasan con el tiempo (pocos meses en algunos casos). ¿Quién es el que tiene una colaboración en mente con Rascal ahora? Nada menos que Tom Jones . El artista comentó que está impresionado con el single "Dance Wiv Me" de Rascal, el cual alcanzó todos los tops cuando hablamos de listas. "Me gusta su [...]

Well here it is people my top ten list for 2008. Like I've said before it was a pretty good year for new quality releases. There are many that should have made the list but there was too much competition this year. As for the list itself, my first pick is the number one of the year, hands down. Albums 2 - 10 are not to be ranked in any particular order by myself. If any readers want to rank them they can be my guest. If anyone thinks my list left off someone, [...]
Here's what rocked and rolled me in '08: Ten Minute Turns, "Aluminum Shine" from Leaving Robot City The best new song from the best unsigned band in Brooklyn. Leaving Robot City adds electronic flourishes to their winning marriage of impeccably-produced indie rock and earworm-inducing hooks, and the results are pretty damn great. This was my #2 most listened-to song of the year, and it only surfaced in November. Really, really good. MGMT, "Kids" [...]

Welsh metallers, Anterior might be named after a cruciate ligament but that doesn't matter to us. Hairy frontman, Luke Davies talks about burning vans, fisting whole insurance companies and Tom Jones singing Slipknot covers... What was your highlight of 2008? There was quite a few highlights but if I was tied down to my favourite it was probably playing with Children of Bodom on their small UK tour – huge venues with huge great crowds. It was a great [...]

It's never heartening to check music biz news these days, but Hypebot's question has to send chills through even the most hearty of constitutions: "Can Tom Jones Save EMI?" Noting that the label owes several billion dollars in loans and has to come up with a lot of cash by spring, the post claims that its hopes are pinned on "a new album from Tom Jones plus a Coldplay release made up of songs that didn't make it on to the band's current album Viva La Vida ." Uh oh. Well, the Jones album, 24 [...]
EMI is praying that Santa is generous this season as it stares down a major post-Christmas payment due on £2.7 billion in loans from Citigroup. UK analysts are warning that EMI must generate significant cash by March to meet its obligations, If not, Terra Firma, the private-equity which bought EMI for £2.4 billion and already added £10 million three months ago to avoid default could be forced to inject more funds. What blockbuster releases are EMI counting on to fill its holiday coffers? A new album from Tom Jones plus a Coldplay release made [...]

Every year, about one or two beloved artists from your parents'/ grandparents' heyday comes out with a new album that successfully manages to encompass all that made them so great all that time ago while simultaneously having the right stuff to impress the hipster kiddies of today. In 2008, Tom Jones, the always bordering-on-camp Welshman with the deeper-than-deep belt, lounge lizard persona and ability to melt the panties off of millions of (old and young) women, happened to become one of them. The past couple decades, the man has kept himself in the public eye (whether we [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive Spinner.com : When it came time for Tom Jones to record his new album, '24 Hours,' he found a surprising kindred spirit in Amy Winehouse, whose 'Back to Black' provided a blueprint of sorts.

The word 'bravado' is a word often tossed about to describe rapper Kanye West , and at the root of it is the word is 'brave,' which is the best way to describe West's latest release 808s and Heartbreak . Here West sings, wears his heart on his sleeve, and wades through some moody (but smooth) electro beats, ensuring the alienation of many rap fans (something West has no problem doing). It was the recent death of his mother and a painful breakup with his [...]
:: It looks like U2's Bono and Tom Jones are friends . I thought the Irish hated the Welsh. But given this revelation, it seems that they just hate good music. :: Turns out that the Billboard charts don't reflect what people listen to while online. What a shock! I never would have guessed. :: Over at Rawkblog, Dave has a review of Christmas on Mars . You know, that Flaming Lips movie. He describes Wayne Coyne's character as an "interstellar Joe the [...]

Somewhere along the lines Tom Jones became cool again. Maybe it's that the artists he inspired, such as Amy Winehouse, have taken his soulful style and brought it to a new generation of listeners. However it happened you'll be grateful once you hear Sir Tom's new album 24 Hours (to be released Nov. 25th). The record is chock full of groovy tracks and big booty-shaking rhythms that are irresistible to even the most hard core indie rock fan. [...]
