Busy bee...yep, that's me!

Billboard has reported that Justin Timberlake will release 'Sexy Back’ the first single from his forthcoming album ‘Future Sex/Love Sounds’ (do you think it's a double???) to radio on July 7. Hopefully radio here will jump on it pretty quickly…like they did with Christina Aguilera’s ‘Ain’t No Other Man’, which rocks by the way.

It was also reported that Audioslave will release ‘Revelations’, their third album, in September. Let’s hope it improves on the luke-warm response ‘Out of Exile’ got in Australia the year before last. Expectations have probably lowered somewhat, they had a lot to live up to after their self-titled debut, and the buying public have delivered their verdict by…well…not buying.

Snow Patrol’s ‘Eye’s Open’ is an album that I have been both excited and terrified to hear at the same time. Terrified because 'Final Straw’ is now one of my favourite albums of all time, and had changed the way I listen to music, and what I have come to expect of a live gig. I’ve been excited, for the same reasons as above. It is with delight that I say that my worry was wasted. ‘Eye’s Open’ is as spine-tingling, delicate and powerful as ‘Final Straw’. PLEASE let them do ‘Chasing Cars’ in the side shows for Splendour. That song gives me chills. It is the ‘Run’ of the album, the anthem.

And while we are talking Splendour and said show…why are the Scissor Sisters not doing one here??? Their Prince of Wales gig sold out last time, and there is no shortage of fans! Ripped off.

Vibed about the upcoming release from…Janet Jackson - ‘Twenty Years Old’, it should be interesting, as ‘Damita Jo’ was not my cup of tea at all. She lost me a bit there…but I still have faith that at least one Jackson can still cut it. I guess we will have to wait and see. I heard a snippet of the single, and it sounds a little boring and very Mariah, but then I only had one listen.

I have gigs coming out of my ears at the moment. I went to see the very lovely Holly Throsby on Sunday night. Check her out if you like Sarah Blasko, Clare Bowditch and the like…you will thanks me! Got the amazing Sleepy Jackson this weekend and Kisschasy and Coldplay the next, followed by You Am I at The Forum and Snow Patrol at the Metro…feeling very spoilt!
