It's Monday again, which means more music...

Flo Rida Releases New Single "Whistle"
On Wednesday, Atlantic Records announced that Flo Rida's new single "Whistle" had been released, two weeks earlier than scheduled, "due to popular demand". If you were one of the people "demanding" this song, feel ashamed. It's boring. Yawn.

Yellow Submarine On Blu-ray
In March, Apple Corps Ltd. announced that the Beatles film Yellow Submarine had been digitally restored and would be released on Blu-ray and DVD. Since Monday, the classic rock film has been available to buy.

Trailer For New Muse Album and Tour Announced
Move over Flo Rida, this is real music news! For a long time now, hints have circulated about an upcoming Muse album. But a trailer released on Wednesday made it official; a new Muse album, titled The 2nd Law will be released September this year. The album follows a three year wait after The Resistance, which was released in 2009. Judging by the trailer, it appears that the new album will revolve around the theme of depleting energy resources and, like The Resistance, will continue the use of orchestral sound with synthesized overdrive of Origins of Symmetry.

Following this trailer, Muse announced on Friday a UK and Europe tour later this year. For tour dates and tickets, click here.

The Killers Album Trailer

The boys from Teignmouth weren't the only ones to release an album trailer this week, The Killers put this teaser out on the net on Friday. The music sounds alot like the rest of The Killer's work, so I'm hoping we'll see a return to the standard of Hot Fuss, and not another disappointment like Day and Age.

Virtual Elvis Presley

The classic rock 'n' roll singer is to be resurrected using a virtual likeness created by Digital Domain Media Group. The likeness will be used at live shows, on TV and online.
