On "Songs and Symphoniques: The Music of Moondog," Ghost Train Orchestra teams up with the trailblazing Kronos Quartet to celebrate and reimagine the music of Louis Hardin, aka Moondog, the ground-breaking composer and poet who lived on the streets of New York City in the 50s and 60s, and influenced the minimalists Philip Glass, Steve Reich and Terry Riley. A blind composer who moved from Kansas to New York City and built his own instruments and mythology, Moondog's story and music continue to be an inspiration to many.

"IRM" is the 3rd studio album by French electropop singer Charlotte Gainsbourg, with all songs written and produced by Beck except "Le Chat Du Café Des Artistes" (written by Jean-Pierre Ferland). The album title was inspired by the French initialism for an MRI scanner. The title track was released as a free download on 9 October 2009. The album was mostly recorded at Beck's home studio in Los Angeles, California. The lead single is "Heaven Can Wait", a duet with Beck, and was released on 2 November. The music video for "Heaven Can Wait" was directed by Keith Schofield and was released on 19 November 2009. The video for "Heaven Can Wait" was named one of the Top 20 best music videos of 2009 by Spin Magazine. "Trick Pony" is featured in the football video game by EA Sports, FIFA 11.

Ageless romantic hits of the 50-60s will be performed in orchestral performance and solo performance of world-renowned musicians. Dozens of enchanting melodies, lovingly chosen from the Golden Fund of popular music.

"Who’d Have Guest?" is the clever, intriguingly titled new album from respected UK drummer ELLIOTT HENSHAW. Henshaw has worked with all kinds of people across all kinds of genres – most interesting to us David Benoit, the Drifters, Gwen Dickie, Georgie Fame and Beverly Knight. His standing in the UK music community is such that he can call on plenty of “names” to help him craft his own albums and that explains the title of this one, his latest.

Seven-disc set includes unreleased footage from three Elvis concerts plus San Antonio Concert Remixed, Pre-Tour Rehearsals and the complete Golden Globe-winning MGM film on Blu-ray.

Angst and anarchy fuelled indie, and it soon rose from its underground beginnings, to find global success with the likes of the The Stone Roses’ ‘Fools Gold’ and Happy Mondays’ ‘Step On’. Indie reached dizzying heights during the ‘90s when Britpop took over the official UK charts - allowing Mancunian band, Oasis to rise to the fore with indie anthems such as ‘Supersonic’. The noughties were a time of renaissance, with the rise of transatlantic super-groups such as The Killers and The White Stripes, which paved the way for the noughties’ nu-wave of revolutionary indie bands such as Mumford and Sons, Kasabian, The 1975, The Libertines, Bastille and Razorlight.

Records like Nancy Sinatra, which take a pop icon, surround her with current admirers for collaborators, and hope for a sound both modern and classic, are quite often disasters and almost never live up to even the most grudging of high hopes. Well, thanks to this (and Loretta Lynn's Van Lear Rose), you can toss that theory out the window, because Nancy Sinatra is a resounding success.
