Republicans Take Heart; Heart Takes It Back

Ann and Nancy Wilson are hoping the Republicans change their tune�and aren't planning on waiting until November to find out.

The sisterly duo known as Heart sent a cease-and-desist notice to the McCain-Palin safari Thursday good afternoon after their hit "Barracuda" was used�twice�without permission as the prescribed rallying blazon out for the vice presidential candidate after her nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.

The song was chosen as a would-be precious tie-in to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's past�"Barracuda" was her high school nickname.

Only problem, military campaign officials failed to ask either the group, Universal Music Publishing or Sony BMG whether the song was fair game to use. It wasn't.

 Joan of Arc, Dick Cheney, Mark Twain...

   Year: 2004   
Tracks: 14

Based on their roots and their hometown, it's non surprising that Chicago's Joan of Arc blends post-rock's atmospheric static and punk's volume and kinetics. Singer/guitarist Tim Kinsella, drummer Mike Kinsella, and bassist Sam Zurick came from the emocore ring Cap'n Jazz; when that ring bust up, the trine wanted to change their musical instruction. They did just that when they started playing with keyboardist/guitarist Jeremy Boyle and guitarist Eric Bocek in summer 1996, removing the boundaries and structures of punk and including more experimental elements like magnetic tape loops and electronics.


Career themselves Joan of Arc, the group went on spell with their friends the Promise Ring (wHO also featured ex-Cap'n Jazz members) in August 1996. Joan of Arc's live set met with a warm, positive audience, just in time for their first base 7" single, Method & Sentiment. After outlay the fall of that year writing and recording, the band re-emerged in 1997 with A Portable Model of Joan of Arc, their uncut debut. The album continued Joan of Arc's phylogenesis into an as trenchant and progressive outfit that appealed to emo and post-rock fans likewise. The next twelvemonth they returned with How Memory Works, a more clearly stated adaptation of their challenging style. Joan of Arc rang in 1999 with the release of Live in Chicago 1999. Gap was released a twelvemonth later. In February 2003, the band returned with So Much Staying Alive and Lovelessness, although plans for a a good deal bigger empty were skirted to the side. Three months by and by on, that extra material establish its way onto In Rape Fantasy and Terror Sex We Trust, capturing Tim and Mike Kinsella's darkest work yet. After moving to Polyvinyl, the band recorded the observational Joan of Arc, Dick Cheney, Mark Twain and released the record album in 2004. Finally, All at Once, which the band described as a "casual folk-drone record," arrived in 2006 on Record Label. In October 2007, the band scored the creepy and instrumental Grove Vale Soundtrack.

Billy Harper is one of a generation of Coltrane-influenced tenor saxophonists wHO really built upon the master's work, kind of than just transcript it. Harper is consummately all-round, able-bodied to play convincingly in any setting, from bop to unloosen. His muscular tone, sylphlike juncture, comprehensive harmonic cognition, and unflagging energy define him as a saxophonist. He's too demoniac of an abundant resourcefulness that connects like a shot to his blue devils and gospel roots. Though not as well-known as he mightiness be, Harper is a jazz improviser of meaning stature. Harper grew up in Houston, TX. By the age of basketball team he was singing in church and at various choral events. At age 11 he was tending a sax for Christmas. In the start he was more often than not self-taught, though he was helped on by his uncle Earl Harper, a old herald world Health Organization had gone to school with boP trumpeter Kenny Dorham.

D.A. Passes On Grass Charges

Maddy Costa talks to Natasha Khan from Bat for Lashes

The music Natasha Khan makes under the name Bat for Lashes sounds enchanted, as though cauldrons and wands were as instrumental to its making as synthesisers and guitars. So it's no surprise to discover that Khan's home looks quite different from its surroundings - but it's different in disappointing ways. A drab 1960s building, it squats unattractively between elegant Victorian houses. The rooms are neutral in colour and sparsely furnished; pinned to the kitchen noticeboard is a cleaning rota. It's all surprisingly ordinary. But then you spot a tarnished crown in the sitting room, acquired by Khan on a recent trip to the US, and a gauzy, rainbow-hued dress, apparently made of butterfly wings, hanging by the front door, and you think: that's more like it.

The dress, on loan from Alexander McQueen, is one of many signs of Khan's surging popularity since her debut album, Fur and Gold, was nominated for last year's Mercury prize. This month, Bat for Lashes (Khan and a new backing band, the Blue Dreams) are touring Europe on the invitation of Radiohead. When Khan walks through her adopted home town, Brighton, girls sashay into earshot singing her finest, best-known song, What's a Girl to Do: "When you love someone/ But the thrill is gone." Most importantly, success means that the 28-year-old can now leave this rented house and move into her own flat. "I've yearned for that security all my life," she says. "To have somewhere to call my own is all I've ever wanted. Now everything else is a bonus."

Fur and Gold beguiled critics on its release in September 2006. Otherworldly in feel, it carries lyrics loaded with images from Khan's dreams and her reading in Jungian theory, while its dark, sensual sounds evoke everything from 1960s pop to Native American rituals. Despite the positive reviews, however, it went relatively unnoticed by the general public - until the Mercury nominations were announced several months later. Khan is thankful for the slow burn: "It allowed me to get used to the idea of opening your dressing gown in front of lots of people." As a child, she never wished to be famous. "When I was younger, there wasn't that spotlight on celebrity and its workings. When I played piano, I wasn't performing for anyone. I played because it gave me goosebumps all over my body. I was able to express the overwhelming tides of emotion that wanted to come out."

Over the past year, she says, she has felt overwhelmed by emotion again, as she has attempted to deal with the demands of touring - and then, over the winter, the sudden absence of that routine. She played her final Fur and Gold show last October at London's Koko, a magical evening in which the stage was transformed into a glittering forest inhabited by sprites. After that, she spent some time with her family, then with her boyfriend (a musician in the New York band Moon and Moon), and had "a bit of a nervous breakdown. It was the first time in two years where nothing was needed of me. It's as though you're the queen at the top of your tower, and suddenly you're flung out the window. Actually, it was really good for me to just be Natasha for a while, to have an everyday life and slow down. But I can imagine why people in that situation need to get fucked up."

Books pulled her through. She has a pile beside her as we talk: Heroes and Villains, by Angela Carter; We: Understanding the Psychology of Romantic Love, by the Jungian analyst Robert Johnson; a biography entitled Victor Hugo's Conversations With the Spirit World, about which she is particularly enthused. The French novelist spent three years in exile in Jersey, during which he communed with the spirits of the ocean, rocks, animals, Galileo, Jesus, you name it. The book has tapped into Khan's own beliefs about "the connectedness of all things. It strikes me over and over again how physics and love and creativity and physical birth are all the same thing." She is a self-confessed hippy, "obsessed with Woodstock and running through the California forests. People say it's stupid, but I don't care: people are so cynical nowadays."

Khan has always felt a little bit different. Her mother and aunts mostly do secretarial work (although her mother recently completed a degree in criminal psychology), but the teenage Natasha wanted to be "a painter or a writer", and decided that life experience would serve her better than university. She spent two years working in offices and factories, saving enough to travel to New York, San Francisco, Mexico and Canada. It was then that she realised how important music was to her - something she previously "wasn't cognisant of, even though I was playing piano all the time, and writing poems and books of lyrics".

She surprised her family by signing up for a degree in music and visual art at Brighton University. "Mum says that, since I was a tiny baby, I've had the most strong-willed and stubborn personality known to man. Although that was a real pain for her, she admired my resolve. It can be frightening to turn your back on what others think is right. But I'm not the same as a lot of people - I'm quite artistic and quite eccentric sometimes. If you honour that, you fit into yourself better - and people accept you for what you are."

It seems she inherited her creativity from her father, Rahmat Khan, a squash player who gave up his career to coach his cousin Jahangir, who for several years was the world No 1. "Dad was an amazing storyteller and illustrator, which he did in his spare time - very inspiring and dramatic." He instilled a wanderlust in Natasha. "I'd travel the world with him and watch him compete. I think that's why I'm really free-spirited: I'd been all over the world by the time I was three."

She's able to talk calmly of the fact that her father abandoned the family when she was just 11, and has rationalised it as "that moment when life becomes serious, and you realise you're a soul on a journey", an experience she believes everyone shares. But she also admits: "I'll always be someone who is frightened of being abandoned, and finds it difficult to trust people."

Her view of human relationships has grown quite cosmic since a visit to the planetarium in New York. "Planets will bask in each other's glory but never quite meet, until at some point they crash and create a whole bunch of other planets. I was thinking about love, how there's a desperate need for us to connect, yet we're all separate - planets that need to circle around each other." Khan and her boyfriend have been together for two and a half years, time she says has been characterised by "a lot of pressures, but a lot of beautiful, inspirational things, too."

It's a tricky time for Khan: she is ready to settle down, yet determined to pursue her wayward career. She longs to have children, yet can't even commit to a pet cat. Children were a big part of her pre-Bat life: after university, she trained as a nursery-school teacher, and spent three years in the job. "I loved it. I'd pile up on bean bags with a load of three-year-olds and tell them stories about witches and gargoyles and thunder dragons, and they would squeal in delight. There's something in me that loves to inspire people: when I'm playing music, I imagine all this sparkly stardust going through everyone. I want to make people come alive."

Her second album is still a work in progress, but Khan says she has changed musically. "Fur and Gold was 'inside Natasha's mind': it was very intimate and personal. This one feels a bit more confident and physical and in the world. It's me balancing out my more masculine side with all my good feminine intuitions and emotions." This is reflected in her new band, too: unlike her all-female first band, it is a mixture of men and women, with real drums instead of programmed beats.

She has mixed emotions about returning to the promotional merry-go-round. "I feel creatively at my strongest, but this is quite a sad, scary time, too. Last night, I spent half an hour writing down all the things I'm grateful for. To be able to put out things that I think will be beneficial, in a world that is transient and difficult, is very rare."

She hasn't yet designed the visual world for the new album (like Alison Goldfrapp, she's a firm believer that image is as important as sound), but has fond memories of creating Bat for Lashes in the first place. "I was really naive and excited. It was like being a child taken up into the loft, and finding 50 million boxes of whatever you could imagine - musical instruments, books, dressing-up clothes." Her earliest promotional photographs are vibrant and a little bonkers, featuring Khan in a boxing ring, bedecked in feathers, with a golden headband that became her trademark. "I was playing and not giving a shit," she says cheerfully. "Looking back on it, I love it still, but I do think: 'Gosh, what are you wearing?'".

Jimmy Eat World threaten to 'sacrifice goats' at Download

Jimmy Eat World threatened to sacrifice goats at Download Festival today (June 15).

The Arizona emo stars were the final warm-up on the Main Stage before headliners Lostprophets.

Hitting the metal fest for the first time, the band wowed the sizeable crowd with tracks from current album 'Chase This Light' alongside old favourites 'The Middle', 'Pain', and 'Salt Sweat Sugar'.

Fully aware of their position at the poppier end of the line-up, frontman Jim Adkins told NME.COM: "It looks pretty gnarly! It's really early in the day and the Main Stage is packed, It should be a really rocking time."

However drummer Zach Lind reckoned they were up to the challenge: "When Jim and I first started playing together, we were in junior high and we used to play Metallica songs, so I guess we�ve got a little bit of metal in us

"We're gonna play some old songs, then we're gonna sacrifice goats, and then we're gonna play the new songs. And then we drink the blood!"

Keep up with this weekend's (June 13-15) festival action as it happens on NME.COM. For news, pictures and blogs keep checking the NME.COM's Isle Of Wight Festival page and NME.COM's Download Festival page for live coverage from both sites.

   Year: 1977   
Tracks: 9

While never a household name, Bruce Johnston enjoyed one of the longest and most challenging careers in pop music, most notably as a member of the Beach Boys. Born June 27, 1942, in Peoria, IL, he was raised in Beverly Hills, CA, attending school with young man aspirant musicians Kim Fowley and Sandy Nelson and now and then playing with them in the chemical group the Sleepwalkers. Though still in high school, Johnston became a well-regarded performing artist on the West Coast circuit and played on a numeral of studio apartment dates. Best known as a guitarist and keyboard musician, he likewise handled bass duties on the Teddy Bears' chart-topping 1958 come to "To Know Him Is to Love Him" and drummed for Ritchie Valens' unrecorded band. While attending UCLA, Johnston formed a band called Surf Stompers, in 1963 recording Surfin' Around the World as good as the hot LP Surfers' Pajama Party, cut at a Sigmi Pi sodality bash; at the Del-Fi label, he was too a producer for acts of the Apostles including Ron Holden, and lED the Rip Chords and the Hot Doggers with Terry Melcher. In late 1964, Johnston was tapped to join the Beach Boys' touring circle after Brian Wilson proclaimed his retirement from live performances; in 1965, he played piano on the group's impinge on "CA Girls" and later on remained an on-again, off-again member of their ranks for decades to amount, most notably appearance on the 1966 masterpiece Pet Sounds. Johnston left the band during the mid-'70s, recording a solo LP, 1977's Exit Public, and becoming the impinge on songster behind smashes like Barry Manilow's "I Write the Songs." By the end of the decennium, however, he was over again producing the Beach Boys and continued to tour with them well into the 1990s.

The newsman, most noted for his NBC show ‘Meet The Press’, was the network’s Washington Bureau chief. Time magazine had named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world this year.
According to a report on NBC’s website, Russert collapsed while recording voiceovers for his Sunday show, and was rushed to Sibley Memorial Hosptial in Washington.
