“Thanks for coming to see us tonight… You’ll want to leave as soon as we’re finished playing, obviously, but do try and stay if you can, see some bands. MGMT is a good one… Pity poor Gary Numan, he couldn’t make it due to the volcanic ash… maybe he could’ve taken one of his ‘Cars.’”
And so began Echo and the Bunnymen’s stellar set on the Outdoor Theatre at Coachella on Friday night—with winks and jabs, easing the crowd before unleashing a torrent of dark, synth-hewn and apocalyptic post-punk upon their audience in the form of twisting atmospherics (“The Cutter”) and lovely dark-pop anthems (“Lips Like Sugar”).
Michael Jackson is back in the news (not that he’s been gone that long), but this time he’s joined by his brothers. Those who point to Jackson’s youth as their favorite era of the pop star’s musical output will be delighted to know that a collection of unreleased and remixed songs by The Jackson Five will be included on a new, 12-track compilation, called I Want You Back! Unreleased Masters, set for release on November 12.

With this act, they are not only making a die-hard fan very happy but they are getting publicity that is out of this world (thank you, I’ll be here all night!). Not only did Colonel Korpa suggest taking the album with him on his next trip to outer space, but he was also quoted saying, “he would snap photos in space with the album and crew of the ISS (International Space Station) and give the album back to the band as a souvenir when he returns to Earth.” Artists dream of that kind of publicity.
