Russia Muted |

Russia! is Tom (voice, synth), Rob (bass), Katie (drums), and Whiskas'
(guitar, shouts) . Mute North America will release the band's debut album
Give Me a Wall September 2006!
Theirs is a classic DIY punk rock story;
releasing records on their self-started, self-run label Dance to the Radio,
and naming their songs by number instead of giving them titles, the foursome
burst onto the UK music scene with their first single "Nine", followed
by "Thirteen"/"Fourteen" in late 2005. The band launched 2006 with a bang,
with the release of "Twelve", a top-40 hit in January, followed in early
May by a re-recorded version of "Nine," which also went top-40 in the UK.

Crazy Deletion |
PR reports: Gnarls Barkley's phenomenal hit
'Crazy' will be deleted this week, ending a phenomenal run of nine consecutive
weeks at the top of the UK charts. The decision to delete 'Crazy' was made
to ensure that the focus of the Gnarls Barkley campaign now falls on the
second single, 'Smiley Faces', scheduled for a July 17th release.
On the subject of deleting the single,
Gnarls Barkley himself was heard to say "I consider myself a realist. I
suppose that goes for most of us. But I have found a way to at once hold
them, fold them, walk away and run. This was not a painless decision. But
pain is nothing but a bi-product of beauty. Potentially toxic, to be sure,
but that's all it is."[see full story for more]- Click
