I Wish We did That At My School

Wampy from The Wampy Portal has started up a new blog dedicated to
Weird, Obscure, Twisted & Bent tunes. He is sharing songs and taking requests.

The most bent and twisted song I could think of was Ben Folds' version of the Dr Dre's "Bitches Ain't Shit"
Wampy took my suggestion and uploaded it to here.

I went to Mr Folds' website today and found this little gem. It's an absolute classic.
But listen to his version first.

THE CHAIR

'Straight Lines', the first taste of Silverchair's forthcoming album 'Young Modern' will debut on the band's website and MySpace page this Friday.(Thats friday just gone)

The album is in the final stages of production in Canada. 'Young Modern' is being produced by lead singer Daniel Johns and long time collaborator Nick Launey.

David Bottrill, who mixed 2002's Diorama, is also working on this record.

The CD version of the single will be released in March. It will include their cover of Midnight Oil's 'I Don't Wanna Be The One' as a bonus track.

The video for 'Straight Lines' was directed by Paul Goldman and Alice Bell, the pair behind the movie Mayhem. Sydneysiders may recognize the location. It is the Olympic Park railway station.

And The Hair Is Getting Longer.

After more than a year away from the spotlight, Missy Higgins is set to release her new album at the end of April.
She spent much of 2006 in Los Angeles recording the as-yet-untitled follow-up to her nine-times-platinum debut, 'The Sound Of White'. The first single, 'Steer', will undoubtedly be previewed when Higgins performs four festival dates in April.
Higgins also appears on the upcoming Kev Carmody album, contributing vocals along with Paul Kelly and Augie March's Glenn Richards.
