Red Hot Chili Peppers - Justice are the new producers??
According to this site the great french "alternative dance" duo, Justice, have told that they are "lined up to produce the next Red Hot Chili Peppers album".
If is true is an interesting news : Chili Peppers have to change, exit from the "pop rock" tunnel and maybe Rick Rubin isn't the perfect producer of 10-20 years ago.

Great sales this week!
After months of weak sales, this week will be the higher-sales week, at least untill pre&Xmas season.
Two are the artist that help this momentary re-birth : Coldplay and Lil Wayne
Coldplay with their new album "Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends" enter at n.1 in UK chart with over 300.000 copies sold..impressive because the album is a "thursday release", if they released the album on Monday probably sold a lot more, maybe near at the first week of "X&Y" that sold more than 450.000 in first week. For USA we should wait the next week.
Lil Wayne instead is making a miracle with his album "Carter III", infact the site HitsDailyDouble
say that could sell around 1 million copies in USA. We will wait untill thursday for the real data.

[Retro-It] - for "The Bends" fans : Gianluca Grignani
Gianluca Grignani is an italian pop rock singer, start in mid '90 with "Destinazione Paradiso" and become an idol, at least here in Italy..expecially for girls.
But in 1996 realeased a brave album, far from typical italian pop rock standards with "La Fabbrica Di Platica" a rock album, a bit acid/psychedelic, a bit epic and a lot influenced by Radiohead "The Bends".
After "La Fabbrica di Plastica" he released "Campi di Popcorn" an other alt-rock oriented album..then has been converted to an useless pop rock mainstream.
