BAT FOR LASHES LASHES TWO SUNS SPECIAL EDITION OUT NOW
 Bat For Lashes |
Bat For Lashes has released a Special Edition version of her critically acclaimed sophomore album, Two Suns, on Astralwerks Records. Two Suns Special Edition is packed with rare and unreleased studio gems, cover versions, stunning live tracks, demos, exclusive remixes, and a revealing long-form documentary.
Encompassing both an expanded CD and a bonus DVD, the new version of Two Suns includes a 48-minute documentary (entitled Two + Two); following Khan across the globe on the intense personal journey she undertook to create Two Suns. From a behind-the-scenes glimpse into her work in the studio, to the making of her provocative, striking videos, to the evolution of Two Suns‘ femme fatale character Pearl, Two + Two allows fans to see Khan as never before.
TV on the Radio‘s Dave Sitek adds an ethereal sheen to the remix of “Sleep Alone,” and two different versions of “Daniel” adorn the collection as well – a haunting lo-fi rendition and an earlier incarnation of the song, recorded live during Bat For Lashes’ 2008 tour with Radiohead. If the initial release of Khan’s sophomore album was any indication of her visual and musical triumph, then its expanded contents confirm now that her achievement has become, in fact, timeless.
Bat For Lashes has confirmed a handful of 2010 tour dates with Coldplay; available here.

JOHN MAYER RETURNS WITH BATTLE STUDIES ON NOVEMBER 17, 2009
“Live From The Beacon” To Air On Fuse Same Day (11/17/09)
 John Mayer |
John Mayer‘s Battle Studies will be released on November 17, 2009 on Columbia Records. The seven-time Grammy Award winner’s fourth studio album was co-produced by John Mayer and Steve Jordan and debuts three years after his critically acclaimed 2006 album, Continuum. Incorporating the warmth, melodies and simplicity of 70′s and 80′s California rock/pop, Battle Studies is a confessional, relaxed and liberated album recorded in a private home in California where Mayer lived and worked over the course of six months before wrapping at the famed Capitol Studios in Los Angeles.
The album’s first single, “Who Says” challenges conventional standards of what one can accomplish or undertake – despite society’s constraints. Battle Studies also showcases universal themes on “Heartbreak Warfare,” “Assassin,” and “War of My Life,” while flexing guitar chops on “Rock Song,” and a reinterpretation of “Crossroads.” The famously collaborative guitar player also invited one of music’s brightest new talents, Taylor Swift, to appear on “Half of My Heart.”
John Mayer, will perform at the Beacon Theatre on Tuesday, November 17 at 9 p.m. to celebrate the release of Battle Studies. The special event, which will also air live in HD that evening on Fuse, is presented by Fuse, Madison Square Garden’s national music television network, and MSG Entertainment.
Beginning today, John Mayer fans can log on to Fuse.tv/johnmayer to find photos, tweets, live blogging and more. The site will feature exclusive live behind-the-scenes footage backstage, during the sound check and after the show, giving fans a can’t miss, one-of-a-kind multi-screen event.
A John Mayer North American tour is currently being planned and will follow the release of Battle Studies in early 2010, details to be announced soon. In the meantime, two rare performances by John Mayer Trio (John Mayer, Steve Jordan, Pino Palladino) have been announced for December – December 29 in San Diego at the Copley Symphony Hall and a New Year’s Eve show on December 31 in Las Vegas at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
In place of Mayer’s annual Holiday Revue, these concert events will raise money for two veteran’s charities – Military Outreach Ministry Camp Pendleton (MOM) and NCIRE – the Veterans Health Research Institute. MOM is a nonprofit organization that supports young military families of all faiths and NCIRE is the largest non-profit research institute affiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Among other investigations, NCIRE researches the causes and best treatment for post- traumatic stress disorder and other combat-related injuries.
