Stones Bassist Gets Guitar Back
early 40 years after he lost it, Rolling Stones bass player Bill Wyman has one of his guitars back, thanks to a New Zealand musician. The rare guitar, called a Wyman bass, was one of a small number that the manufacturer Vox made in the 1960s, and the only Vox guitar adorned with an endorser's name: Wyman.

Coded Covers
Another byproduct of the 'Code in popular music' bits I wrote (1, 2) was a slight fascination with ciphered text in the liner notes of various albums. I've encountered several great examples of such ciphers, and am curious to learn if there have been other instances. The source of many of my leads in compiling this list is a text-based Cryptorock Summary, crossposted in the alt.rock-n-roll and sci.crypt newsgroups in 1989, though I've noticed several post 1989 examples as well.

Derzeit stehen die Beastie Boys aufgrund ihres neues Albums 'To The Five Boroughs' im Medieninteresse, das sie zugleich nutzten um US-Präsident George W. Bush zu beleidgigen.
'Bush ist ein Arsch', soll Ad Rock laut Onlinedienst 'Launch' gesagt haben. Aber in manchen Regionen sei der Präsident dennoch beliebt. Mike D sagt Bush eine ruhige Zukunft voraus, weil er im kommenden Jahr nicht mehr im Amt sei.

Geldof denies Live Aid II concert
Irish rock star Bob Geldof denies he has teamed up with fellow rocker Bono for a repeat of the 1985 Live Aid concerts to raise money to help ease third world debt.
The Sun had earlier run a front page story saying Prime Minister Tony Blair was backing "Live Aid II", which would be fronted by rockers Robbie Williams, Oasis, Radiohead and Coldplay.
Geldof, the brains behind the original concert to relieve famine in Ethiopia, said in a statement: "I told the Sun this afternoon it was not true. This only serves to undermine the concerted efforts of those concerned with the tragedy of poverty in Africa."

Live Aid, das größte Benefizkonzert der Musikgeschichte soll neu aufleben
Einige werden sich noch an 1985 erinnern, damals wurde unter dem Namen 'Live Aid' das größte Benefizkonzert der Musikgeschichte veranstaltet. Der damalige Veranstalter war Bob Geldof.
Die Stars von damals spielten 16 Stunden lang und gleichzeitig im Londoner Wembley-Stadion und im John F. Kennedy Stadion von Philadelphia. Man konnte einen Erlös von 60 Millionen Dollar einspielen. Das Geld ging an Hungrige in Äthiopien.
Bono von U2 will nun 'Live Aid' wieder beleben. Er soll bereits mit Stars und Bands wie Robbie Williams, Oasis, Coldplay, Radiohead, Paul McCartney und Phil Collins im Gespräch sein. Genaueres wird noch diese Woche bekannt gegeben.

The way the music died
with the record industry clearly hurting, what will it take for an artist to make it in the music business these days?
