As reported by the Daily Star , Queen return to the stage this year without Paul Rodgers. Instead, the vocalist who must defend the position of Freddie Mercury will be Adam Lambert, the contestant runner of the eighth season of American Idol.

On November 6, 2011 performed with Brian May and Roger Taylor at the MTV EMA's. His work has not gone unnoticed because he played three great hits of the band ("The Show Must Go On", "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions") with an amazing energy and security. Since then his name was on all the pools on an alleged return of Queen.

Finally Queen will tour in 2012 and was revealed to be one of the main groups of the Sonisphere festival, though not confirmed what specific issues (one is for sure, English).

Moreover, it appears that the young singer has assumed the role with humility and without pretending to overshadow him to Freddie Mercury:

The intention is to pay tribute to Freddie and the group singing a handful of great songs. It's about keeping the music alive for the fans and give them the energy that Freddie would have been proud. I was not going through your head replace Freddie. That is impossible.

While we wait for more dates for the tour, this announcement will come in handy because Adam published his second studio album, Trespassing on 20 March, so that the promotional work has practically resolved.

Otherwise, I think incorporate vocals was a good decision because you can bring something new to Queen and, above all, because they enjoy plenty of talent to the public that, after all, is what it is. What will happen over the head with Paul Rodgers now?

The Magnetic Fields released his new album, Love At The Bottom Of The Sea, on March 6 via Merge Records . To get you started, the U.S. group led by Stephin Merritt has released the music video for their first single, "Andrew In Drag".

As you can tell from the title and the lyrics , the theme is cross-dressing. The concept is based, according to Merritt himself, in a heterosexual man who falls for his friend Andrew transvestite. Sexual ambiguity going on.

The technical effort is not too big and resource use is not too abundant, but the intent of the video clip was not very complex. It only shows how a man-dress and a woman step by step, so it could be considered as a quick guide to impersonate the opposite sex. Although not very strong, can be classified as NSFW as it contains a scene in which he is "flesh." Here it is:

In the coming months the group will tour the United States. We will be aware if more dates are confirmed beyond those borders.

In mid-October last year we were discussing the details of Get Along , DVD / CD Tegan and Sara released to offer something to his followers while preparing a new studio album after returning from a break of several months. Well, as we read in a post on his official blog , the sisters have booked to start recording date: February 20.

Moreover, Tegan, who is the spokesperson who acts in that blog, says that so far have made ​​a total of 41 songs. Not to scare anyone kidding clarifies all these are not included on the album. "Even mom has set the limit at 25" he says. On the details of the new production the artist says it still can not say much, but will report little by little, as the process evolves:

The songs are sounding great and we are in the process of selection. I have no idea how long we will finish the record or when it might go on sale, but will update with all the news we know. We will often write from the studio to menteneros day of our antics and our progress, so stay tuned.

Tegan and Sara are Canadian twin sisters who have published six studio albums and have teloneado artists like Neil Young and Ryan Adams. His last plate, Sainthood, dates from 2009. One of his best known songs is "Walking With a Ghost". If you do not know their music is a good way to start doing:

Teenage Fanclub is one of those bands that have been consolidated without much fuss a recording career full of jewels and hearing many good times, thanks largely to the expertise of its three permanent members, who share responsibilities in music composition as the letters and vowels. The trio has also formed numerous alternative groups and collaborated with some of the most important projects in his native Scotland, which now are joined by a new group product of the concerns of their bassist and vocalist Gerard Love.

Although the lyrics and composition are mainly the musician, it does not want his new solo project seems an effort, hence the group decided to make it and give it a name evocative and ambiguous that could provide an air a little fuzzy to music. Thus was born Lightships, banda is in alignment with such talented people like Dave McGowan, also of Teenage Fanclub, Brendan O 'Hare, who was part of the same group a few years ago, Tom Crossley International Airport and The Pastels and Bob Kildea, bassist Belle and Sebastian.

And the name and alignment list, all that remained was to define Love the sound of their songs, which in this case are as a support to the flute and the effects of tremolo and delay. Thus, the musician created a nice collection of themes and immediate function as a kind of soundtrack, meeting on his debut album titled Electric Cables, which will be released on CD, vinyl and digital on April 2 through of Geographic, one of the subsellos Domino Records.

The plate contains 10 tracks and her first single is titled "Two Lines", a gentle pop song arrangements fairy tales and lost summers definitely reminds each of the groups they belong to those involved but also has an air very own. Your video is equally evocative images of boats, seagulls and sunsets by the sea with old film effects that go well with this song, great preview of what will undoubtedly be a good album if we rely on the quality of their composers.
