Day in Rock is Now Live |
The report is broken up into two main sections. The top 3-5 stories will headline the report and they will be followed by the latest stories that have been posted. Because of the now fluid format, the report now spans three pages with some of the bigger stories that were posted earlier in the day may be found on the subsequent pages. Sorry to have to break it up but having all the stories on one page would make for a HUGE download. You can also use the quick menu at the top of the report's main page to see all the headlines.
This also means that the link listings for the Day in Rock has changed. Normally stories posted on a Monday would be listed under Tuesday's report. Now they will linked by the day they posted. So if you didn't check the report yesterday you'll find the full report linked on the front page and the side menu. During the first few weeks we will include the full report from the previous day along with today stories on the Day in Rock homepage for your convenience.

Here they are with today's song: House- This song's lyrical content basically tells the story of a young girl in a small town who follows her dreams of moving to the big city in hopes of running away from a mundane existence. However, as she navigates and charms her way through the shallow, sycophantic big-city nightlife, she is confronted with all the things she dreamt of having and realizes it has a price.
We wanted the dynamic changes in the song to convey to the listener a sense of a story unfolding. The opening main, heavy riff was constructed with a rhythmic swing beat to give a general mood of nightlife sex, sleaze and hedonistic escapism�.the ethereal passages were given a more dreamlike quality to feel like you were in the protagonist's head experiencing her unfolding, conflicted emotions. In the outro you hear the lyrics, "�.in your house made of clay, with your walls crumbling in�in your house made of flame, do you ever burn for Love?" This passage then builds leads into the massive, heavy conclusion�. this was meant to give the listener an indication of the protagonist's inevitable mental and emotional breakdown.

Miley Cyrus Goes Topless For Vanity Fair |
This sparked quite a controversy. On one hand some might say that it was Miley growing up and following the predictable poptart path where the teen princess goes from clean Disney star to provocative sexpot (kind of disturbing since she's just 15). Others, including Miley and Disney, are claiming she was somehow manipulated into doing the shoot which she says she told was going to be "artistic." Perhaps Miley (or her parents and managers) never heard of the David Hamilton's version of "art" before when she agreed to do a "artistic" photo shoot for a magazine known for racy photos of celebs. "I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed," she said in a statement. "I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."
Vanity Fair have a different memory of what happened, "Miley's parents and/or minders were on the set all day," the magazine told Entertainment Tonight. "Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley."
