Prince shows off a different side for ‘21 Nights’

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Just over a year ago, he performed an unprecedented 21 sell-outs in London’s 24,000-seat O2 arena, the year’s highest-grossing engagement at $22 million. The residency is chronicled in 21 Nights, a coffee-table tome of Prince’s lyrics and poetry and 124 previously unreleased photographs by Randee St. Nicholas.

Along came Alice Cooper

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

Alice Cooper, the still-touring provocateur and vaudevillian….duality cost him dear before he mastered it.

The Flashbulb, aka Benn Jordan, became so outraged when he discovered that iTunes was effectively pirating his music, that he uploaded copies of his latest album to BitTorrent. TorrentFreak caught up with Benn to learn more about the decision to stop distributors and ‘coked-up label reps’ from getting all the cash.
