...died 25 years ago next Friday (he did die, didn't he?), but the Presley industry is bigger than ever. "A Little Less Conversation," an obscure 1968 tune from the movie "Love a Little, Love a Little," was recently the #1 song in Britain in a remix by Dutch deejay JXL. A collection of 100 alternate (read: not-so-hot) takes of Elvis songs fills a new four-CD box set. A pity that daddy Vernon didn't record his infant son squealing in the crib; then RCA could release "Elvis: the Colic Years...
...ambush marketing," is trying instead to reinvent soccer. Scorpion Knockout is the futuristic, pared-down game played by 24 stars like Thierry Henry, Luis Figo and Fredrik Ljungberg in an expensive - reportedly $14.5 million - three-minute commercial that has been airing since April. In the ad, to a thumping remix of Elvis Presley's A Little Less Conversation (A Little More Action), soccer's leading mercenaries compete in a secret tournament under special rules. In it, soccer becomes a game of trick shots, small goals and fancy footwork - oddly like basketball (which, despite Nike's $155 million spend this year...
Among people who enjoy rap and classic literature it's de rigueur to compare P. Diddy to Jay Gatsby. Both are shadily operating New Yorkers short on charisma and long on cash and shallow dreams.

Considering the low-profile release of his debut album, Richard Morel has surprisingly hefty credentials. A former engineer for U.S. house auteurs Deep Dish, he’s gone on to remix the likes of Depeche Mode and New Order. Queen of the Highway, then, is intended as his claim to fame, or at least musical autonomy. Apparently designed to showcase the breadth of his abilities, it sets mid-tempo guitar numbers and downtempo head-nodders next to the progressive house for which he’s best known...
...gaining a significant underground following, success in the mainstream still took several years for Deep Dish to achieve, especially in what they called the “cheesy” clubs of Washington. Their first production credit came with the 1992 Moods album A Feeling, followed by their first remix in 1993 of Angela Marn’s “Slippin and Slidin.” Only in 1998 did Deep Dish achieve international prominence with their critically acclaimed debut album, Junk Science. Over the past five years, Deep Dish have remixed the world’s hottest artists?...
