Brian Eno has confirmed that he is working with Coldplay again as they gear up to start recording their fifth album. Earlier this month frontman Chris Martin said he wanted to get the band's next album out by Christmas, and Eno has confirmed he will be involved again. The former Roxy Music man produced the band's last album, 2008's 'Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends', and told BBC 6 Music that he would again force the band's frontman to work separately from his bandmates as he did on that record.

Each two-song 7" will be recorded during the brief period of time the band is at home between tours.
First up, released on April 12th is 'Art Czars', the clear coloured vinyl will also feature 'Racer-X' - a Big Black cover and live favourite.

Unearthly Trance set to record new album
Unearthly Trance will begin work on their follow-up album to Electrocution this weekend in New York, New York. This will be the trio's fifth studio album, aptly titled V.
Unearthly Trance will begin recording at SIR Studios with engineer Sanford Parker overseeing the skeletal creation of the recording. The band will then continue to self-record with additional help from trusted experts along the way. V will also mark another twist on Unearthly Trance's sound, with slower paced riffs, raw sonics and even more progressed songwriting, the band is taking its sound towards creatively darker and strangely morbid realm. V will feature artwork by Glyn Scrawled and is expected to see a late spring release date via Relapse Records. Additional album details will be announced shortly.

You're So Vain-Part 4
Last week it seemed like the nearly four-decade-old mystery surrounding Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” was finally solved after the always-reliable (cough) U.K. press speculated that record exec David Geffen was the subject of Simon’s 1972 hit. As Rolling Stone wrote last week, Simon had previously promised that in a newly recorded version of “You’re So Vain,” the name of vain man in question would be revealed when the song was played backwards. The reverse lyric sounded simply like “David,” fueling rumors that Geffen, who allegedly favored Simon’s musical rival Joni Mitchell, was the focus of her hit. However, Simon tells Showbiz 411 that Geffen is not the “David” in question.
“What a riot! Nothing to do with David Geffen! What a funny mistake! Someone got a clue mistaken for another mistake,” Simon said in an e-mail to Showbiz 411. “How can this guessing game stop without a lie?” Simon adds that she never even knew Geffen in 1971 when the song was written, which if Simon has her timeline correct, means “You’re So Vain” was penned prior to when Simon’s label Elektra Records merged with Geffen’s Asylum Records in 1972, the date Geffen assumed control of the combined companies.
The Simon/Geffen feud didn't start until two years after You're So Vain was recorded. In addition, people who have heard the backwards version of the song say that you can also hear the name Warren whispered, which could be Warren Beatty. Seesm like we'll never know, I played the record backwards and heard the name Johnathan whispered, who the heck is that. Certainly all the press cannot hurt the sales of the record......
The new version of “You’re So Vain” is due on Simon’s upcoming disc Never Been Gone.

Lennon Used In Advert
