New Franz Ferdinand Song Will Delight Fans of Old Franz Ferdinand Songs
1. Franz Ferdinand, "Katherine Kiss Me" (live)Onstage at Glastonbury yesterday, Alex Kapranos & Co. debuted the presumed first single from their upcoming third album, which sounds not unlike all the singles from their previous two albums (in a good way). [Stereogum]
2. Saul Williams, "World on Wheels"
As you'll recall, Williams's The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust was released last fall as a free (er, pay-what-you-want) download. Now, to convince fans to purchase the physical album, he's releasing it with five bonus tracks available only on CD. Well, four now, we guess. [Pitchfork]
3. U2, "Happy Birthday" (Stevie Wonder cover)
On Friday night, Bono and the Edge ditched their rhythm section and played Stevie's MLK tribute at Nelson Mandela's 90th-birthday party. As you might expect, this MP3 is awesome. [Scatter o' Light]
4. Mötley Crüe, "The Animal in Me"
The animal in Mötley Crüe should probably be put out of its misery. [Local Vertical]
5. Doveman, "Footloose" (Kenny Loggins cover)
Doveman's brand of whispered melancholy isn't for everyone, but we're guessing that his next album — in which he remakes the entire Footloose soundtrack as a tribute to a good friend's deceased sister — might net him a few more fans. [Resonator Magazine] —Ehren Gresehover

Duran Duran returns to Boston
Yes, Duran Duran returns to Boston for an Agganis Arena show on Wednesday.
Yes, the tour’s been getting rave reviews from fans, critics and fellow rock stars (the Killers and Billy Corgan have joined the band onstage at different gigs).
But that’s not why singer/aging sexpot Simon LeBon was all revved up when he phoned us Wednesday night. In a rain-soaked penalty shootout in Moscow, footballers Manchester United beat Chelsea, 6-5, to win the European Champions League title.
Being a good Manchester lad, LeBon was ecstatic about the victory. Somehow we managed to get something more than “Oh my God, oh my God.” out of him after a few questions.
Herald: So as a Manchester fan, how are you feeling right now?
LeBon: Oh, God, I’m so happy. I had to try so hard not to yell my head off because I’m singing a show tonight. But, oh my God, I’m so stoked. We watched the match in a little sports bar in Raleigh, North Carolina, called the Draft something or other. They have all these draft beers that I couldn’t drink because of the show tonight. I did have one little beer when United scored the first goal. Oh, it was such a brilliant, brilliant goal.
Is everyone in the band Manchester fans?
Half of us were rooting for United and half of us were rooting for Chelsea.
That seems like the type of love that could tear a band apart.
No, no, no, because the right team won (hysterical laughter). It’s very difficult to not crow right now, but I know not to. It’s not an attractive quality in anybody. But, OK, let’s talk about Duran Duran.
With the Killers and Billy Corgan joining you onstage, members of Tool and AFI coming to shows and Justin Timberlake singing on your new record (“Red Carpet Massacre”), does it feel like the world is in love with Duran Duran again?
This year we’ve had the validation and endorsement of a lot of people getting onstage with us. We haven’t had that in the past. Maybe because we did the record with Timbaland, Nate Hills and Justin Timberlake, three of the hottest producers on the planet. Maybe somebody had to stick their neck out and say, “Yeah, I like Duran Duran.” I think it was Justin who said that first. He really stood up to be counted as a fan. When he came to the Brits in England to give us our lifetime achievement award, he said, “There’s one reason I came across the Atlantic Ocean and it’s standing onstage with me. It’s called Duran Duran.”
Did your style and Timberlake’s take a while to mesh?
No, it worked. We checked him when he wanted to work with us, and I thought “Justified” was a fantastic debut album as a solo artist. And he’s followed the band closely since he was about 13, when “Ordinary World” and “Come Undone” were in the charts.
You’re doing a few new songs that aren’t familiar to many fans. How do they fit with the hits?
We don’t just stuff them in there and hope they work. There’s a real dynamic to the show, so if a song fits into the dynamic we use it.

Carly Simon - Simon Called Idol Hopeful To Thank Her For Youre So Vain
CARLY SIMON was so impressed with AMERICAN IDOL reject BROOKE WHITE's rendition of her YOU'RE SO VAIN hit she called the singer directly to thank her for choosing the song.
White, who was voted off the TV talent show two weeks ago (30Apr08), stunned Simon with her take on the famous musical attack on an unnamed ex.
Simon says, "I thought it was just fabulous... I don't think I could ever sing it the way she does.
"And she hasn't lost her individuality in a sea of singing coaches; she seems to be herself."
