So you think you have a good single of week eahh

It is friday the end of a long week for me doing My 1st ever Blog doing good work to note the coming atraction, show, and any news of the Net, I tell you more about it on weekend update on Sunday, and i thought it would be a good time to interduce a brand new segment on my blog sight it call My NME single of the week, if any one over the 50 years history of the UK leading Music Maginzine The New Music Express or as the kids call it NME for short not only review the alblum coming out but they also review the single that also come out in that week (UK single are release on Monday, US Release are on tuesday) and i always read it to see if that band new song is any good or for better or worst ask the question what are they thinking a bad song over a very awsome track, now every week at i will listen to the three tracks the NME picks to be top(the winner and the two runner-up), if i like the single of the week i will give it my thums up, But if i hate of dont like the single of then week i pick the two runner-up as sub and it will be my winner as single of the week, but if i did like the two i can go outside the box, so you get the title the My NME Single of the week.

And My take of this week NME Single of the week for the isseud dated May 6(with He says the city used to be a community but turned bitter and ugly after the White Stripes scored multi-platinum success. “Look through your rock history,” he tells the mag. “This happens every time a city has gotten cool. I figured that everyone knew so much about rock history that it wouldn’t happen. We didn’t have five bands like Seattle had that went out and sold ten million records apiece. We thought, ‘Well, maybe we’ll all stay together.’ No. I think I gave people too much credit. When it comes down to it, it’s real simple. Anytime, any town, anywhere, it’s going to be the same thing. Next year when such-and-such city blows up, I will make a point of going to the most popular band there and saying, ‘Start packing your bags. You’re going to lose your friends.'” White goes on to say in Detroit he was "in a negative environment surrounded by negative people," even says the “Satan” referred to in the album title of the Stripes’ 2005 album “Get Behind Me Satan” is a partial reference to the city, along with the parts of his personality he left behind when moving to Nashville. on the cover and dont forget Broken Boys Solders is Out this tuesday, but hoped for a racounteurs show have Dim, but i tell you that in News)

The Winner- Primal Scream-Country Gril - it a good track nothing speacil here the tunes start out good but kind of runs out of gas in the end i think that what a long lad off will do
My Virct: it OK

Runner-Up No.1- Hot Chip - Boy From School - it is a very good track it have a very good groove and beat to it but it some time get too long and and kind of get bored near the end i not engoth to win the My NMES of the week
It good and smooth

Runner-up No.2-The Boyfriends-Adult Acne - the only problem i can not find the track any where on there web sight or there myspace sight or any whereon the web so i cant rate it
Imcompet

So as promied i went outside the box to choose this week winner and yes i found it but it only available on there band web sight It the the wonderful New Zedander Band the Datsuns with there down single "Stuck here for Days" i a great tunes which start out very slow and keep on rocking and it a were good single and that is who that make them good rocker and also a coulpe of local connect 1st they opened up for the Pixies when they did there reunion tour in Detroit a year and a half ago and in one of indie rock best of this early days "Harmonic Generator" which have guess vocial from Marice Bolen and ex-Von Bondies (who i still miss) Carrie Smith, so with that

The Dastuns"Stuck Here For Days" is My NME single fo the week

OK in live and local News

As you know Jack White have left detroit For the country of Nashville and in this month Spin (Which i dont have a copy in the Mail yet) he tell us why He says the city used to be a community but turned bitter and ugly after the White Stripes scored multi-platinum success. “Look through your rock history,” he tells the mag. “This happens every time a city has gotten cool.

So that could mean The Raconteursmay not do a Detroit Show in the the Futher that could not be good.

The sunny psychedelics of Apples In Stereo are currently finishing up their fifth studio album, but the band has announced that they have parted ways with SpinART, their longtime label. The new LP, which will be called A New Magnetic Wonder, is slated to hit shelves sometime in 2007 and on the band's website the Elephant 6 collective members said that they are currently "finalizing a deal with a well-known independent label" for its release. All of the Apples' records over the last ten years— save 1997's sole Sire release, Tone Soul Evolution— have come out on SpinART. The band gave no reason for the split. Apples In Stereo are keeping busy though. They will open a handful of southern dates for the Strokes at the end of the month and are scheduled to play Athens Popfest in Georgia this August. Lucky for Elephant 6 fans, Olivia Tremor Control and Sunshine Fix frontman Bill Doss will play keyboards and sing backup for the Apples at their live shows. (No Detroit Dates)

Exclusive: Matt Sharp Talks Rentals' Return
Amy Phillips reports:No more waiting...the Rentals' return is on. Today, Matt Sharp's synth-pop band announced that it has scheduled the initial shows of its first worldwide tour in a decade. This July, after a couple of warm-up shows in California, they'll head to Japan for a pair of arena gigs.

Yesterday, Pitchfork spoke to Matt Sharp, and the former Weezer bassist outlined the rest of the Rentals' touring plans: "We're going to come back and do a limited amount of shows in the U.S. We're not going to cover the whole thing, but we're probably going to do the major markets, and do some shows in Canada in the major Canadian markets, and then maybe do a little bit in Europe, a few of the major markets in Europe. That's still pending at the moment. But we're crossing our fingers."

The band is also scheduled to perform at this summer's Sonorama Festival in Burgos, Spain. "A very big part of my heart lives in Spain," Sharp said. "At times I almost feel like I'm Antonio Banderas' son or something."

In addition to Sharp, the current Rentals lineup features founding member Rachel Haden (formerly of that dog!), as well as the following newbies: vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Sara Radle (multi-inst/vocals), "synth master" Ben Pringle, vocalist/viola player Lauren Chipman, and drummer Dan Joeright.

"Everybody in the group essentially multitasks all the time," Sharp explained. "Everybody has a little piano experience, plays synthesizers, plays acoustic guitar...There's so many different combinations of things to explore within the group dynamic, and the feeling that I have with this group is that these people are really heavyweights. And we're trying to do things the right way and with a lot of integrity, and build a real family."

Although Sharp has been sporadically working on new material, the focus for the Rentals at the moment is perfecting new arrangements of songs from the Rentals' back catalog, drawing from the band's two albums, 1995's Return of the Rentals and 1999's Seven More Minutes. "A lot of it is reworking those old songs to represent the possibility of where we're going," Sharp said. "Some of it feels very new to me. Some of the older songs from the first album have taken on a totally new life. They have a real sense of where we're going. And part of it is challenging, and a challenge that I'm willing to meet."

The world tour will focus primarily on old songs; after the band returns to their home base in California, they'll concentrate on the next album.
Sharp attributes his decision to resurrect the Rentals to "really just a combination of a lot of different things coming together." "Having certain people come into my life at the right times, and the support of other people, sort of helped me get on that path," he said. "It just seemed like that's where we should be, and this is what we should be doing. And it just felt like the natural place for us to be."
He added that his former Weezer bandmate, Rivers Cuomo, was especially influential. "I think probably I saw Rivers less than a year ago, and he was really kind," Sharp said. "He's been one of the big people for me, who have been very supportive, going, 'that's what you should be doing with your life'...in the sense of writing pop music again."
Sharp spent a good part of the past few years concentrating on acoustic-centric solo material, releasing the Puckett's Versus the Country Boy EP in 2003 and a self-titled album in 2004. He saw himself headed in a more experimental direction, before the intervention of Cuomo and others.
"The average length of the songs on the solo record are probably seven minutes long," he said. "And I think I probably would have gone further in that direction, and I may return there at some point. I've always had the desire to end up finding a place in the world that's like [Talk Talk's] Spirit of Eden record, and where there's three songs on the album and it's still a full length album. And I was probably heading more and more into that place.
"Rivers and I got to spend some time doing some writing together, and he really started talking to me about writing more concise songs, that expressed a lot with a lot of economy. Instead of doing what I had been doing, which was taking as much time as you want to say what you need to say. And there were a lot of really good things that came out of those times that we spent together. There's too many people who have had an influence on why I'm at where I'm at, to say there's a single person like that. But there's certainly a part of it in there that he shares."
Sharp also credits Canadian sister duo Tegan and Sara, with whom he has toured and recorded, with helping him get on the path he's pursuing today. "They really helped me with the way they just conduct themselves," he said. "Those guys have more integrity than any group I've ever been around. The way that everybody that's involved with them are kind and generous...that stuff is coming from the core, and it's everybody that's involved with them, it's not just them, it's every member of the group, every member of their management, people that are selling their tee shirts; whatever it is, they all have that real graciousness to them."

A little off topic, Guys... I have a question. Yesterday I trapped on this site:
[url=http://www.rivalspot.com]Rivalspot.com - Play Ps3 tournaments for cash[/url]
They say you can play online Madden game tournaments on any console for cash... had anyone tried that before? Looks like a cool idea...
Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys? I Googled and found only Bringit.com and Worldgaming.com but it looks these guys don't specialize in sport gamez. Any suggestions?
