25th December 2004 Well, Christmas is upon us! I'd just like to take the opportunity of thanking everyone for all the visits, support and contributions since I opened up my Ian Brown site, Whispers earlier this year! Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year. I can't wait for the next volley of gigs in the spring, and to hear Ian's new take on 'Where Angels Play' and lets hope 2005 is another Rosey year for us all.

12th December 2004 Friday's Belfast Telegraph had an intereview with Ian Brown and talks about his forthcoming Irish gigs, how glad he is that The Stone Roses split and how his current band is "the most talented and the best that", he's, "ever worked with." Click here to read the full article.
11th December 2004 As mentioned earlier in the week, I've built a special Second Coming - 10th Anniversary mini-site to commemorate 10 years since the release of the phenomenal second album from The Stone Roses (released 5th December 1994). I've still got a few things to do but there's plenty to listen to and watch, some wallpapers, etc., I hope it's suitably nostalgic! Click here to visit the site.

8th December 2004 John Squire.com throws the rumour of John 'dropping himself from own label' into doubt with a mailing to the fans, thanking them for their support and stating "we hope to bring you news of further releases in the New Year". They also announce that John has sold over 800 of his limited edition prints so far and demand is high for Xmas. To buy one of the prints, visit John Squire Art.com.
7th December 2004 The Official Ian Brown site has revealed the full details of the next Ian Brown single, 'Time Is My Everything', which is to be released 17th January 2005. The single will see 2 CDs & 7" format release and a surprise track to make it on to the listing is a new version of The Stone Roses classic 'Where Angels Play' (which Ian Brown played live on Later With Jools Holland recently). Previously the track only made it onto a Stone Roses release after Silvertone bundled a rough version of it onto the 1991 single release of 'I Wanna Be Adored'.
CD1 - 'Time Is My Everything', 'Where Angels Play', 'Time Is My Everything' (Mix To Be Confirmed), 'Time Is My Everything' (Video).
CD2 - 'Time Is My Everything', 'Time Is My Everything' (U.N.K.L.E. Reconstruction).
7" - 'Time Is My Everything', 'Where Angels Play'.
5th December 2004 So here it is, ten years since the release of Second Comimg, the, then, long awaited second album from The Stone Roses. This was the album that changed by life and set me on the Rosey path and so to commemorate this day, I will be commissioning a special Second Coming 10th Anniversary mini-site, packed with SC goodness, I only properly started it 2 days ago, so it's not quite ready for you today but I let you know as soon as it's open.
4th December 2004 As mentioned last month, Ian Brown's second single off of 'Solarized' is to be 'Time Is My Everything' and it's a very popular choice among the fans, most have wanted it to receive a single release since it was first debuted at the Claremont gig back in July. It is set for release 17th January 2005 on CD and 7" and while no tracklist has been confirmed, U.N.K.L.E. man James Lavelle did let slip that there would be an U.N.K.L.E. remix, it's also rumoured that the Video will also be included (much the same as the last single 'Keep What Ya Got') and I would not rule out another instrumental version of a 'Solarized' track either (he did release a US promo with instrumentals of all 10 tracks on it, afterall).
4th December 2004 JSU receives a new Stone Roses promo. It's been a while since the last official Stone Roses release so here's the details... It's entitled 'The Stone Roses 19-track BMG Publisher's Promo' and features one of the most bizarre Stone Roses tracklistings ever ("12 tracks by The Stone Roses... plus 7 remixes") and comments nicely packaged with some interesting (inaccurate) notes and a bit of a stab at successors to the Roses' riches, Geffen. Click here for full details.
1st December 2004 After his recent gig at the James Watt College launching the college's new state-of-the-art recording studio, Ian Brown has been made an official patron. Scotland Today provides an interview with Ian Brown discussing his new role, there is also a viewable video of the interview on the site. Click here to read the full review.
