As previously reported, Ian Brown is to work on the soundtrack of forthcoming Russian film, Paragraf 78 (Trailer). Ian is to write an original track for inclusion in the movie's soundtrack (read more info on the official MB Productions website - who are producing the film). As you will see, Ian's track Corpses In Their Mouths was also used in a previous film, Junk.

"It says that Ian spent 3 days here. While in Moscow he happened to meet the producer and the director of "Paragraph 78", to give an interview to the radiostation 'Maximum', to party his ass off (including the birthday party of a famous Russian designer) and to meet the actor playing the lead in "P 78". He then popped over to St. Petersburg(!) to meet Russian musician Igor Vdovin. It says Ian appreciated his musical talent and suggested Igor would make a remix for one of the songs from the new Ian's album (hmmmm...Ian, I hope you know what you're doing :)). I can't believe Ian Brown was right here, in St. Petersburg, so close to me, maybe even on my street and I didn't know about it! I'm totally frustrated!!! Anyway... I go on: Making the video for the song is planned for this Autumn. And then in February 2007 Ian will go back to Russia to play gigs in Moscow & St. Petersburg (*fingers crossed*)."

Thanks to Russian visitor Eyra for emailing all the latest info and translating the Russian-only parts.

One of the best un-signed bands (and a personal fave), The 88s have just uploaded three gorgeous, brand new tracks to their myspace page. The newest tracks are 'Can't Sleep', 'What I Need' and (4th one the list) the currently 'Untitled' track which is to be named in a competition... so name it and win something 88s-y... and why not, because with the quality of song-man-ship of these phat tunes it'll be worth more than slimfast shares some day soon. To listen to all their new tunes, check out their online presence.
