...Serbian society, With Their Backs to the World (2000), she paid a visit to singer Rambo Amadeus, whose musical style she describes as "acid-horror-funk." Amadeus balked at being included in the book - he just didn't give interviews. But a Norwegian folk song he heard her singing caught his ear. "Sing your fisherman song for my CD and I'll be in your book," he bargained. Seierstad sang for her interviews and forgot about the brief recording session until the song - featuring her heavily remixed warbling - rocketed up the Serbian charts. The fearless, seize-any-opportunity attitude that...
...Busta Rhymes rapping over characteristically ebullient Neptunes tracks as well as rock from N.E.R.D. and Spymob, the Neptunes' house band. It should debut at No. 1 on Billboard's album chart.

Wang plans to make the channel profitable by using Tom.com's existing sales network to bring advertisers to CETV...
...year-old Elvis Presley went to Sun's studio to record two songs for his mother and was soon vamping on the Arthur Crudup tune That's All Right. Phillips legendarily remarked, "That's a pop song, just 'bout." Pop as in a pop-music explosion. Phillips didn't sing or play an instrument, he didn't always produce the music that came out of his studio, and in 1955 he shortsightedly sold Presley's contract to RCA for $35,000. But his ear was infallible. He had the aural version of precognition. He retired a rich man--not because...
