On Monday Manson wrote on Myspace's celeb blog: So I have officially been diagnosed, by a real doctor, with THE SWINE FLU.
I know everyone will suggest that f**king a pig is how this disease was obtained. However, the doctor said, my past choices in women have in no way contributed to me acquiring this mysterious sickness. Unfortunately, I am going to survive.

We still have two LA events that you can find tickets and passes for. Now we present your chance to attend the sold-out taping of the band's mini-concert at the Jimmy Kimmel show with green room passes. Here is your hint...
On Thursday, September 24th, a pair of tickets can be found in Hollywood where the stars are immortalized. The man in black will be holding a package at the commemoration of a certain star who lent a hand on the title track from AIC's new album. He will be there at 8:00pm sharp, and the first person to arrive and ask will be given the package... but BE CAREFUL: if you are seen within eyeshot of that spot before exactly 8:00pm, you will not be able to take the tickets!

OK Go Set New Release |
The 13-track opus is the long-awaited follow-up to their acclaimed Oh No, which spawned the 2007 Grammy-award-winning video hit "Here It Goes Again" (setting numerous viewing records as it helped transform the then-fledgling YouTube into a household name)." Of the Blue Colour of the Sky is currently primed to kick off 2010 as one of the new year's most buzzed-about releases. According to lead singer, Damian Kulash, the new album springs from a different departure point than previous OK Go releases. "It's not so much that we headed in a new direction. I think we've just expended the guitar-rock ideas from our teens and we're starting to get at more root-level influences. There's a lot of Purple Rain on this record - an album I haven't stopped listening to since I got it when I was eleven."
Kulash added that record's title comes from an 1876 book promoting the erroneous theory that blue light cures all ills. As fits a record influenced by Prince and crackpot 19th century arm-chair scientists, the record is both danceable and contemplative; it's introspective, with a vein of surrealism running through it. There's a song that considers the earth before it was round, one sung by a man who's traded places with his reflection, and plenty of heartbreak and (attempts at) hope, mostly hung on a groovier backbone than we've heard from OK Go before. "We started these songs with a groove," Damian says. "They started as base feelings, not chord progressions or lyrical ideas, and then we layered." After 2005's Oh No, recorded nearly live with minimal overdubs, and their swaggering 2008 EP You're not Alone, backed by the trombone band Bonerama (a benefit for musicians displaced by hurricane Katrina), this new sound comes as something of a departure.
