Mule:
An ever-present past. A new future. Old magic and new mystery. Gov't Mule hardly had a choice. The new album all but named itself: DÉJÀ VOODOO.
Due to be released by ATO Records September 14, DÉJÀ VOODOO is the first band-based album by Gov't Mule since the death of bassist Allen Woody in August 2000. Moreover, it's the first studio album since founding band mates Warren Haynes and Matt Abts named keyboardist Danny Louis and bassist Andy Hess as permanent members of the group.
Appropriately, then, this 12-track milestone at once marks a continuation of and a departure from Gov't Mule's complex 10-year history. And the fulcrum is more than healing wounds or new band members; risk and reinvention are standard operating procedure for the Mule.
"We're trying to move forward with each record to break new ground," says singer/guitarist, and primary songwriter Warren Haynes. "If you go back and look at all the Gov't Mule records chronologically, you can see that each one kind of grows organically into a different direction" ...

The Official Metallica Club.
It's the sort of story that scriptwriters would get laughed out of conference rooms for entering. The sort of story that illustrates perfect synchronicity between hunger, passion and time. The sort of story that only happens every 30-odd years. And the sort of story that would approximately 500 pages to do it true justice.
Metallica. A household name. The 7th biggest selling act in American history.
Who'd have thought it when, on October 28th, 1981, drummer Lars Ulrich made guitar player/singer James Hetfield an offer he couldn't refuse: "I’ve got a track saved for my band on Brian Slagel's new Metal Blade label."
The truth is, Lars didn't have a band at that time, but he did that day when James joined him. The two recorded their first track on a cheap recorder with James performing singing duties, rhythm guitar duties and bass guitar duties. Lars dutifully pounded the drums, helped with musical arrangements and acted as manager. Hetfield's friend and housemate Ron McGovney was eventually talked into taking up bass and Dave Mustaine took lead guitar duties.
The band adopted the moniker Metallica after a suggestion from Bay Area friend Ron Quintana, and they quickly began gigging in the Los Angeles area opening for bands like Saxon. Eventually recording a fully-fledged demo called No Life Til Leather, Metallica quickly saw the tape whistle around the metal tape-trading underground and become a hot commodity, with San Francisco and New York particularly receptive.
Metallica performed 2 shows in San Francisco and found the crowds friendlier and more honest than LA's "there to be seen" mob. They also caught up-and-coming band Trauma, and most importantly their bass player, Cliff Burton. Cliff refused to move to Southern California: it was enough to convince Metallica to relocate to the Bay Area, and Cliff subsequently joined Metallica ...

"When you look up Afterglow in the dictionary, it is defined as 'the glow or light that remains once the sun is gone'. You're used to this bright, shiny beautiful glow but the moment the sun disappears, all of a sudden you have to readjust everything. It's a very transitional moment. A lot of these songs are about transition...the turning over of the rock, what's underneath, the murky, shadowy uncertainty where everything looks very different."
- Sarah McLachlan
Birth, death, tragedy and joy; the six years since the release of Sarah McLachlan's last studio album Surfacing have been both defining and redefining, not just in the world's recent history but also in Sarah's own life.
As a result, Afterglow is a record of many layers. At first glance, the warmth of production, the purity of her voice and the beautiful harmonies all serve as a reminder of the reasons that McLachlan has gained worldwide acclaim for her talents. As the disc unfolds, however, it becomes clear that this record is a merging of two elements: the wonderfully familiar and the new.
The most familiar aspect is unquestionably the richness in Sarah's music. Afterglow contains many moments that evoke reminders of the singer's unique musical gifts. From the reflective first single, "Fallen", to the love-inspired lyrics of "Push", to the gorgeous, whispered tones of "Answer", there are many melodies on Afterglow that showcase her strengths.
Some of Sarah's favored moments seem destined to be beloved by fans as well. "'Answer' is one of my favorites", she admits, smiling broadly. "It's a total 'two o'clock in the morning, whispered in your ears' headphone track. That's always been my thing, feeling the very essence of a song. I have to be able to break it down and still feel its strength acoustically on piano or guitar. If the essence is strong, you can do whatever you want with it, it'll still be good. "
Noteworthy Facts:
- Sarah has sold over 22 million records worldwide since her recording career began with her debut release, Touch, in 1988.
- She is a 3 time Grammy Award winner:
Grammy Award 1999 "I Will Remember You" - Best Female Pop Vocal Performance

Kelly Mcguire-Singer/Songwriter: Not long ago, someone asked me why I've chosen music to be my life, and I couldn't answer the question, because if the truth be known, the music chose me. In the begining It was a distant drumming, my mother's heart beating, then my brother's transistor radio wafting late night motown hits through our shared bedroom, but I was fated even then to some day discover the Instrument of my lifelong passion ...
