We were very sad to learn of the death of Eric Woolfson, the co-founder, songwriter and manager of The Alan Parsons Project, who died on December 2nd 2009 at his home in London aged 64 - having suffered from kidney cancer for a number of years. When he learned of his old musical partners demise Alan Parsons stated that 'Eric was one of the most generous, musically gifted and knowledgeable people I ever met. He was also - and I mean no disrespect - the most stubborn individual to set foot on the planet - a trait which made him a great businessman'. Having agreed to do, what turned out to be, one of his last interviews with TotalMusic-Online in the latter half of 2009 we felt it would be a fitting obituary to once again place Eric Woolfson front and centre, a place he seldom occupied during his long and illustrious career.

Chase Me!!!
Having appeared on just about every end of year 'best of...' list around (including our own) Animal Collective have announced the re-release of hard to find 2003 album Campfire Songs - recorded on a screened-in porch in Maryland using portable mini disc players and with all the added exterior ambience such a recording might suggest, the five track album is released on Pawtracks. The band have also released a new video for the track 'Brothersport' which you can see right here right now.

Monkey Business
It’s no secret that we’re rather fond of Show Of Hands around these parts, and peruser's of the albums pages in the latter half of 2009 will already be aware that we reckon Arrogance Ignorance And Greed is one of the best albums they have released to date. If you were intrigued but have yet to hear anything from the album then we can help remedy that as they have released one of those new-fangled promotional short video flims for the title track and we have a link to the very film right here

Jeff's Back
If you’re a fan then you probably don’t need to be told that the godlike guitar, erm, god Jeff Beck is on tour this year, but if you’re not over acquainted with the man's work then we suggest that you do yourselves a favour and try and check him out on any of the upcoming live dates. We're saying that quite apart from having far too much hair for his age - and being in far too good nick as well - he also appears to have at least four or five more fingers than the rest of us, but don’t take our word for it, just sit back and watch the following clip.
