  7. I really like it! Music: Ian Hunter unveils title track of upcoming new album Mott The Hoople’s Ian Hunter will release his 20th studio album When I’m President on September 4. Now you can hear an exclusive preview of the title track. Track: Ian Hunter – When I’m President File under: forget Obama and Romney… vote ‘Unter! The new album’s 11 Hunter originals include such infectious, personally-charged numbers as the wry, socially conscious title track, the gently introspective Fatally Flawed, the bittersweet ballad Black Tears, the chugging rocker Wild Bunch, the swaggering I Don’t Know What You Want (which features a guest vocal by Hunter’s son, Jesse) and the vivid, haunting Ta Shunka Witco (Crazy Horse) – all of which showcase the jagged immediacy of Hunter’s one-of-a-kind voice and the punchy authority of his longstanding all-star back-up combo, the Rant Band. “The songs seem to be more upbeat this time round,” Hunter notes. “The last two albums were pretty political, just because I thought the Bush years were horrible, and thankfully that’s passed. But I don’t go looking for songs; I have to wait for them to come to me. I had a spurt there in the summer of 2011, and that grew into this album. I’d get up every day with something ringing in my head, so I’d try to catch it and get it down. Songwriting’s always been a mystery to me in that way. Now and again you’re nearer the sun, and you have to be ready to capture it.” Like such recent Hunter releases as Rant (2001), Shrunken Heads (2007) and Man Overboard (2009), When I’m President – his first new recording since Mott The Hoople’s historic 2009 reunion shows at London’s Hammersmith Odeon – looks like it’s gonna rank with some of the iconic frontman’s most impassioned and insightful work. Hunter will kick of a tour of the United States and Europe on September 1. More details will be announced shortly. Link
  8. Here's another article. It also doesn't say why she left, but she was booed after she left. There's a video in the link too. Link
  9. Madonna Fans Boo, Demand Refund For 45-Minute Paris Show Concert intended to promote tolerance ends in shouts of 'refund!' A Thursday night Madonna club show in Paris intended to promote tolerance ended with a round of boos and intolerance ... aimed at Madonna. What was billed as an intimate show at the City of Light's 2,700-capacity l'Olympia club by the pop icon, streamed live on YouTube, turned into a public relations disaster when the 53-year-old singer left the stage after just 45 minutes. The abrupt end to the show prompted cries of "refund!" from some and forced YouTube to disable comments on the stream early Friday morning after it garnered more than 12,000 dislikes, according to the Associated Press. In addition to some asking for their money back after Madonna took the stage at 10:15 p.m. and departed around 11 p.m., a few angered fans shouted insults such as "salope" (the French word for "slut") at the star, who has been embroiled in controversy over the past week for her use of a Nazi swastika symbol on her current tour. The worst part? The venue was packed with Madonna die-hards, since the tickets were made available only to members of her official fan club, before being released to the general public, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Many gathered outside the venue hours before, some sleeping on the street overnight in order to get a good spot. After the show, though, a number were back out on the avenue shouting "give us our money back!" in French. An earlier invitation to followers to tweet about the special event ended up backfiring when some attendees used the #MDNAParis hashtag to complain. One angry fan who took to Twitter to vent, wrote in French, "280? for a seat + 10 minutes of a speech + 40 minutes of a show + 2 days of camping in front of the #Olympia = #Madonna #MDNA #Paris #thatsucks." The concert was a last-minute addition to Madonna's schedule, tacked on shortly after France's far-right National Front party threatened to sue the singer over a video she showed during a Bastille Day (July 14) gig in Paris that featured an image of party leader Marine Le Pen with a swastika superimposed on her forehead. "I know that I made a certain Marine Le Pen very angry with me," Madonna said during the l'Olympia show , which mixed her hits with covers by French singer Serge Gainsbourg and homages to such national icons as Alain Delon and Edith Piaf. "And it's not my intention to make enemies ... It's my intention to promote tolerance. And when we start saying that we have to get rid of this person or we have to get rid of that person, because then we'll have a better place, it starts to sound like something else, it starts to sound like something scary. So the next time you want to point the finger at somebody and blame them for a problem in your life, take that finger and point it back at you." Madonna, who has made headlines on the tour for serially flashing her naughty bits
 to her audience and for refusing to give up a section of the show in which she brandishes handguns and automatic rifles in the wake of the tragic theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado
, defended her use of the Nazi imagery
 before the Paris show. "There seems to be a growing intolerance around the world. In Greece, France, everywhere, people are trying to kick out all the immigrants, make people cover up and not show what their religious affiliation is. Think about what's going on in Russia towards the gay community," Madonna said in an interview with a Brazilian TV station. "I'm calling attention to that intolerance and asking people to pay attention, to wake up to see how we are just creating more chaos in the world." The latest flap comes less than a week after the surprise announcement
 that the Australian leg of her MDNA tour would be scrapped without explanation. Link
