Sheryl Crow DVD

antiMusic reports: And for today's poorly written press release, we have this one about a new Sheryl Crow DVD that doesn't get around to mentioning her until the 2nd paragraph and mentioning that that is a DVD not a TV airing until the third paragraph! Guess they don't use the AP style guide over in the UK. And since the text of the release doesn't mention it, the UK release date is September 8th 2008.

Soul Food and Essential Music are extremely proud to announce the UK launch of Soundstage, the top quality television show featuring live performances by world-class artists.

Sheryl Crow – 'Live' captures the 9-time Grammy winner's uncut Soundstage performance. Sheryl and her longtime band take us through some of her biggest hits including "All I Wanna Do," "If It Makes You Happy," "Every Day Is A Winding Road," & "My Favorite Mistake." - more on this story

. The Beatles 'Love'

Love proves to be not just a jaw dropping affair but something so much more…an overwhelmingly emotional journey through the music of the Beatles that manages to feel autobiographical regardless of your age. (5 stars) - Read the full The Beatles 'Love' review

. Withered - Folie Circulaire

All of these tracks are like Mastodon b-sides that nobody ever cared to include on a rerelease of Blood Mountain. The technicality is there if you care to look, but the songwriting lacks entirely. (2.5 stars) - Read the full Withered - Folie Circulaire review

Wait there is more!
