DiR reports: To celebrate the release of Unseen's
new CD 'Internal Salvation' this week we have asked Mark to pick his top
5 favorite songs from the CD and tell us a bit about each track. We continue
today with the song"". Here is Mark:
We just shot a video for this song. It's
about spending so much time and effort on something giving your all to
make something work and not seeing much in return. It's about questioning
what you do and wondering if you should quit and look for something new.
This song went through a lot of changes before it was finished. Originally
the chorus was slower but we sped it up.- Download

TuneLab reports: According to representative
for Metallica's James Hetfield, the reports that he was detained in a London
airport due to his "taliban-like beard" are false.
In an interview with USMagazine.com, the
rep stated "It's false. It's not true."
[But this doesn't get them off the hook
for the auditory terrorism that was their last album. Lars' drums should
have been declared a weapon of mass destruction to their credibility]-

PR reports: It wasn't just Brits that could
care less if the world goes down in burning lake of fire caused by yuppies
in SUVs eating McBurgers. Or maybe Americans have caught on to what Germany
has known all along- David Hasselhoff is sexier than Al Gore. The U.S.
ratings are in and Gore's attempt to turn the world on to the dangers of
global warming by using untold amounts of energy and releasing an explosive
amount of carbon into the atmosphere by staging a global concert that somehow
was supposed to help stop global warming by contributing to it. At least
they raised some money from ticket sales to fund their crusade of getting
people to "Just Say No" to abusing our great planet.
Like our English friends, Americans largely
tuned out the Live Earth broadcast that subconsciously educated us to the
dangers of global warming by showing us that Madonna is a bit long in the
tooth and a few decades past her virgin prime.
The usually lowest rated network broadcaster
NBC were probably hoping to get a boost in viewership this past weekend
with the event, but they stayed true to form with the lowest ratings of
the night. In fact, their Sat night ratings actually dropped from their
average. The numbers were down about18% from the previous week for repeats
of America's Got Talent and Medium. According to preliminary numbers only
about 2.7 million Americans could be bothered to witness why music business
sales are sinking as fast as the polar icecaps.- more

Contact Music reports: AMERICAN IDOL runner-up
CLAY AIKEN has explained how he became involved in an air-rage bust-up
on Saturday (7Jul07) - his foot "wandered" to another passenger's arm rest
while he was sleeping. The 28-year-old was on a flight from Los Angeles
to Tulsa, Oklahoma when the incident occurred. But Aiken has dismissed
speculation he behaved in an obnoxious manner.
He tells U.S. TV news show Entertainment
Tonight, "While sleeping on a plane over the weekend, my foot evidently
found a home on the arm rest of the passenger seated directly in front
of me.
"I didn't realise I was causing the woman
any distress until she woke me up with a quick hit to the chest. "Unfortunately,
being that this happened on a plane, the FBI was called in to investigate
and eventually we were all sent on our way. [maybe she was one of the remaining
Rubin fans?]- more
