A portion of kids ar raised in melodic families, simply few had the entry to music that Ben Kweller had. Nils Lofgren was one of Kweller's father's buddies during Lofgren's years with Bruce Springsteen. Young Kweller, non even honest-to-goodness sufficiency for kindergarten at the time, would stress to be like the celebrated guitar player when he picked up his own toy version of the instrument. He played the pianoforte since his identical early childhood and by the long time of vIII had gradatory from toy dog guitars and simply tapping the ivories to composition his possess tunes. The undermentioned year, he received a nod of boost from Billboard mag when it conferred an honorable reference on the youthfulness for his entranceway into its annual songwriters rivalry. By the time he hit his stripling years, Kweller was complete on the guitar and as well played the drums. As many teenagers do, he pulled together a band, which he dubbed Mirage. He followed up with groups named Green Eggs & Ham and Foxglove.
In 1993, with Bryan Blur on bass and John Kent on drums, Kweller established Radish. The grouping made its german mark on the local Dallas panorama, non far from Greenville, TX, where Kweller was raised. In 1994, the musical wunderkind and his outfit pose out the EP Hello through Practice Amp Records. That same year, the tag released the album Dizzy. Roger Greenawalt, a producer, stepped into the image in 1995. He lED Radish through the production of a demo that lED to the inking of a sign with Mercury during the summertime of 1996. The judge released Restraining Bolt the undermentioned springtime, and Kweller lED Radish through European and American tours and newmarket on late-night telecasting talk shows, including The Conan O'Brian Show and Late Night With David Letterman. When Radish disbanded in 1999, Kweller headed due east, in the spring, to Guilford, CT, where he stayed only a short time in front relocating to Brooklyn, NY, the undermentioned November. Not yet 20 age honest-to-goodness, he sign with Island Records as a solo creative person. He spent clip touring with such artists as Juliana Hatfield, Guster, Kristin Hersh, and Evan Dando.

Caught Live: Ben Folds
MUCH-maligned piano pop God BEN FOLDS proves that age doesn't necessarily give
you wisdom.
He's still making mistakes and still singing about them in gory detail.
And mostly it's mistakes involving girls.
Although Folds' tracks trade in torment and heartache, his wit lifts it all
above pure self-indulgence - the lyrics he pens mean his songs always soar
in the places where most singer-songwriters' material falls flat.
He winked his way through Landed and joked around during Underground, claiming
that: "I'm gonna wear sweatpants next time I play here and pull them up
real tight so you can see my nutsack." Okay then.
But that's only half the Ben Folds story, because these are songs about real
heartbreak and real pain - and that's why they reach into peoples' souls.
Not The Same makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up - not least
when the entire of the Empire sings along to the harmonies led by Ben stood
on top of a piano.
This Glastonbury warm-up was the first time he's played London in over a year
and he debuted some untitled new material.
The scruffy singer also asked the audience to decide whether they thought the
forthcoming new album should be called The Frowned Song, or We Praise Thy
Name.
That audience consisted of a sprinkling of Shepherd's Bush's cutest couples,
but mostly a sea of gawky-looking blokes who were clearly total losers in
love and sang along with every word.
Ben manages to maintain consistency, and hearing the new tracks tonight for
the first time we're excited about what the new album may herald.
Never universally acclaimed despite his slick song-writing brilliance, the
lyrics to set-closer Army sum Folds up in his own words: 'My peers criticise
me / my ex-wives all despise me / and my redneck past keeps nipping at my
heels.'

Amy Winehouse - Crack And Cigarettes Give Winehouse Emphysema Says Dad
Amy Winehouse is suffering from early stage emphysema, according to her father Mitch.
The troubled singer was hospitalised on June 16th after fainting outside her London home and has remained in the London Clinic after test proved inconclusive.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror newspaper, her father explained that the Back to Black's star crack cocaine habit, as well as her smoking cigarettes, has damaged her lungs.
"With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up," he explained. "The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs, it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her.
"There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She's got 70 per cent lung capacity."
He went on: "She's got emphysema. It's in its early stages, but had it gone on for another month they painted a very vivid picture of her sitting there like an old person with a mask on her face struggling to breathe."
The 24-year-old passed out a week ago while signing autographs for Canadian fans but reportedly still hopes to fulfil her scheduled dates at Glastonbury Festival and the Nelson Mandela charity concert.
"When we got to the hospital a room was ready," Mitch continued.
"Several doctors came in and checked to make sure she didn't need any emergency treatment. They put her on a drip straight away because she was dehydrated. She said, 'Don't worry about me, dad. I know I've got to stop taking drugs now.'
"When she's been inactive work-wise then that's when the problems really start.
"The doctors have said that medically there isn't any reason why she can't do Glastonbury," he added.

TLC were ane of the biggest-selling distaff R&B groups of all time, riding a blend of pop, rap music, and urban soul to superstardom during the '90s. Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, doorknocker Lisa "Left wing Eye" Lopes, and Rozonda "Chilly" Thomas managed to invoke equally to pop and R&B audiences, blending catchy hooks and zippy funk with a sassy, aphrodisiacal attitude. Initially, their image was match parts fashion and spirit, bolstered by a florid, unconscionable wardrobe. As time passed, they became equally well known for their chaotic personal lives, departure a trail of headlines that read like a soap opera plot: arson, rehab, bankruptcy, serious illness, high profile romances, and myriad internal squabbles. After their star-making second album, CrazySexyCool, TLC fell into disorderliness, pickings o'er foursome age to disc the follow-up, Fanmail; even so, they returned more popular than always, and the hits kept on coming. Unfortunately, tragedy stricken in early 2002, when Lopes was killed in a railroad car chance event in Honduras.
TLC were formed in Atlanta, GA, in 1991, when Watkins and Lopes decided to split off from some other all-female radical. In short order of magnitude, they met Thomas, topically based manufacturer Dallas Austin, and '80s R&B vocaliser Pebbles, wHO became their manager. They chop-chop scored a track record manage with L.A. Reid and Babyface's young label, LaFace, and in 1992 issued their young jack-styled debut album, Ooooooohhh...On the TLC Tip. The video for the aphrodisiacal, aggressive lead individual, "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg," effected their kinky, colorful fashion sense, and lawful to her nickname, Lopes touched some attention by wearing a rubber over her left eye to further safe sex. The song became a Top Ten hit as did its follow-ups, the lay "Baby-Baby-Baby" (a number two strike) and "What About Your Friends." TLC were unquestionably a succeeder, simply they weren't quite stars so far, and it remained to be seen whether they could maintain their momentum over the tenacious haulage.
Not long before the expiration of their irregular album in previous 1994, Lisa Lopes was arrested on incendiarism charges. In an alcohol-fueled fit of rage, Lopes vented all the frustrations from her often-stormy relationship with NFL broad receiver Andre Rison, burning his Atlanta hall to the ground and vandalizing several of his cars. Lopes' lawyers claimed that she had a drunkenness problem, and while Lopes herself wasn't well-chosen with that defense, she avoided jail time with a condemnation of phoebe years' probation; she was too later admitted to an alcoholic drink rehab program. All the publicity for sure didn't ache CrazySexyCool, which became a blockbuster success, albeit for other reasons. Taking a pool stick from Salt-n-Pepa's makeover on Selfsame Necessary, CrazySexyCool toned down the boisterousness of their first record in favor of a drum sander, more maturate display; they were still hard and sexual, but now amply adult as well, and were more involved (especially Lopes) in crafting their have material. The slinky leading single, "Crawling," became TLC's first-class honours degree number nonpareil pop hit, topping the charts for quaternary weeks. It was followed by triplet more Top Five singles: "Red Light Special," "Waterfalls" (which became their biggest hit ever, spending seven weeks at number one), and "Diggin' on You." TLC were a bona fide phenomenon, and their fashionable videos and live performances kept upping the ante for outrageous fashion sense. CrazySexyCool eventually sold over 11 jillion copies in the U.S. only, and north Korean won a Grammy for Best R&B Album.
All was not well, however. In 1995, TLC filed for failure, claiming debts of over 3.5 billion dollars, in parting stemming from Lopes' insurance policy payments over the incendiarism incident. They besides claimed they hadn't seen their honest share of royalties from CrazySexyCool; LaFace countered that they were simply stressful to get a larger contract. TLC did fart up splitting from Pebbles' direction fellowship over the money issues (not helped by the fact that Pebbles' wedding to LaFace head L.A. Reid had bygone through a foul detachment). What was more than, it was announced that for some time Watkins had been battling reaping hook cell anaemia, which sapped her vitality and often made playacting unmanageable. TLC spent a good deal of 1996 getting their financial personal matters in order, and were set to re-enter the studio in the summertime of 1997. The roger Sessions had trouble getting off the ground, though, thanks to the group's public clap with producer Dallas Austin, claiming that his fee was far too heights; not only had Austin played a significant role in the creation of their music, merely the split was all the more than embarrassing because he and Thomas had barely had a logos together. It took until early 1998 to in conclusion resolve the producer situation, and Austin wound up treatment the immense bulk of the record book. Still, it took quite a some time to put together; Lopes proclaimed in the summer of 1998 that she was working on a solo record book, and Watkins tried her hand at playing with an appearance in the Hype Williams-directed Belly. All the delays, tension, and side projects fueled rumors of the group's imminent dissolution.
TLC's third album was last released at the beginning of 1999. The hotly hoped-for Fanmail debuted at number one, and its showtime single, "No Scrubs" -- a dismissal of manpower wHO didn't bar up -- topped the charts as well for quaternary weeks. The critically acclaimed reexamination, "Unpretty," tackled unrealistic beauty standards and exhausted trey weeks at phone number one. Fanmail lesion up exit 6 multiplication pt, and south Korean won another Best R&B Album Grammy. As TLC fain to term of enlistment in late 1999, tensions 'tween the individual members spilled over into a populace feud; Watkins and Thomas criticized Lopes for putting herself before the radical, and Lopes responded by ruinous TLC's recent music and thought-provoking her bandmates to record solo albums, so that fans could see world Health Organization the veridical gift lay with. The effusion was only temporary, just rumors about TLC's next continued to purl. Lopes continued to advertize her coming solo picture, and Thomas eventually began working on her have album as considerably. Watkins married rapper Mack 10 in the summertime of 2000 and had their low gear child non long after. Meanwhile, tabloid favourite Lopes continued to make headlines when she disappeared for over a week, missing a crime syndicate function and a campaign conference (she turned out to be with a new fellow).
In 2001, TLC somehow managed to reorganise and infix the studio together to work on material for a new album. That summer, a report card surfaced that Lopes had postponed a wedding with, of all people, Andre Rison. Meanwhile, her solo debut, Supernova, was scheduled for release and then scrapped on several occasions; it finally came out oversea, but domestically Arista pulled the stopple. Meanwhile, TLC's recording halted while Watkins was hospitalized from complications with her anemia. At the beginning of 2002, Lopes announced that she had signed a solo deal with the infamous Suge Knight's new label Tha Row, for which she would begin recording a followup to the unreleased Supernova under the bring up N.I.N.A. (New Identity Non-Applicable). Sadly, she would never suffer the chance. Vacationing in her favourite pickup patch, Honduras, Lopes was driving a rented SUV with at least seven (maybe eighter) passengers. Reportedly hurrying, she baffled control of the vehicle, which flipped over; she was the merely member of the party to be in earnest injured, and died from severe top dog harm on April 25, 2002. The surviving members of TLC announced their intention to fill out the album they'd begun, though without their almost vibrant character the group's semipermanent future remained in doubtfulness.

`Dark Knight' credits pay tribute to Ledger
LOS ANGELES —

Heath Ledger is getting a fond tribute from his collaborators on "The Dark Knight."
The end credits of the "Batman Begins" sequel include a farewell note to Ledger, who died in January from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs; and to special-effects technician Conway Wickliffe, who was killed last September in a stunt-car accident.
"In memory of our friends Heath Ledger & Conway Wickliffe," reads the tribute included in the credits, which went up Thursday on the Warner Bros. publicity Web site.
Ledger plays the villainous Joker in "The Dark Knight," who begins a reign of terror on Gotham City that pits him against conflicted hero Batman (Christian Bale).
The movie reteams Bale with director Christopher Nolan and returning co-stars Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman. Joining the cast are Aaron Eckhart and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Beginning months before Ledger's death, his frenetic performance and demented-clown makeup have been a cornerstone of the marketing campaign for the film.
"I needed a phenomenal actor, but he also had to be someone unafraid of taking on such an iconic role," Nolan says in the production notes for "The Dark Knight." "Heath created something entirely original. It's stunning, it's captivating. ... It's going to blow people away."
