Taylor Swift Dazzles KFC Yum Center
Taylor Swift @ KFC Yum Center
Taylor Swift made up her canceled July concert with a dazzling performance at a sold out KFC Yum Center in Louisville ,Ky. It was quickly evident that she was completely forgiven, as her fans arrived early dressed in Taylor full attire. The fan based consisted of females from early teens and younger many with mothers in tow, carried signs asking to be selected for Swift’s famous T-Party after show meet and greet. The Yum Center plaza filled up before 5:30p.m. as many tried to beat the traffic jam created by the closing of the Sherman Minton Bridge. This was the first major show since it’s closing and traffic began backing up before 4 o’clock. As fans piled in the arena, the plaza was scattered with fathers who waited outside during the show for their daughters.
When the curtain came down around 8:30. Swift was greeted to a screaming audience unlike anything I have heard since The Beatles. The elaborate stage that included cut out areas for her fan club. The background included a gold stairwell and three video screens. Taylor Swift is a beautiful talented performer, she danced, played guitar and her vocals couldn’t have been better. She connects with her audience as well as anyone in the business.
This show was worth the wait and made up for the thousands of hearts that broken from the cancelation. I overheard one fan saying” I have had this ticket for 269 days and I would do it again to see Taylor.

R.E.M. Release Animated GIF Album Cover For First-Ever Definitive Greatest Hits Album, Due From Warner Bros. Records on November 15th
40-Song Retrospective — R.E.M., Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage, 1982 – 2011 — Includes Tracks From Both the IRS and Warner Years Plus Three Brand-New Songs
Album Trailer Premieres On R.E.M. Website Today
R.E.M. shocked the world with the news that they had decided to “call it a day as a band” via a statement on their website, and the beloved band announced that they will release their final album, R.E.M., Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage, 1982 – 2011, on Warner Bros. Records on November 15th, 2011. The album is a 40-song career-spanning retrospective that for the first time ever collects songs from R.E.M.’s entire back catalog, including the band’s early years on the IRS label in addition to their Warner Bros. Records catalog, and is currently available for pre-order on Amazon here.
The greatest hits album trailer premiered today on the official R.E.M. website and can be seen here. R.E.M. have led the way musically for nearly 30 years, and with this final release they also usher in a new era of album artwork by releasing an animated GIF album cover for their greatest hits collection.

R.E.M., Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage, 1982 – 2011 animated album cover: http://download.wbr.com/rem/REM_COVER.gif
R.E.M. formed in 1980 when singer Michael Stipe met guitarist Peter Buck in an Athens, GA, record store where Buck worked. After recruiting bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry, R.E.M. released its first single, “Radio Free Europe,” in 1981, followed by 1982’s Chronic Town EP. Widely credited with inventing the college-rock genre, R.E.M. became the most influential American alternative rock band in history — inspiring such artists as Sonic Youth, Pavement, Nirvana, and Radiohead — for achieving multi-platinum mainstream success while maintaining their distinct identity. Over the course of its career, the band has released 15 studio albums and has sold more than 85 million albums worldwide.
R.E.M., Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage, 1982 – 2011 features three new songs that R.E.M. finished after they completed their last album, Collapse Into Now: the single “We All Go Back To Where We Belong,” which goes to radio and will be available for sale on October 18th, “A Month of Saturdays,” and “Hallelujah.” All three songs were recorded over the summer in Athens with Accelerate and Collapse Into Now producer, the estimable Jacknife Lee. The band came roaring back with those two albums in the last two years, achieving some of the best reviews of their career and enabling them to go out at the top of their game.

Linkin Park withdrawals from DeLuna Festival
Linkin Park regret to inform their fans that they must withdraw from their appearance at DeLuna Fest in Pensacola, Florida on October 16th, due to co-lead vocalist Chester Bennington’s upcoming shoulder surgery. Bennington suffered a shoulder injury while on tour in Asia last month that has been diagnosed as requiring immediate medical attention. “As much as I was looking forward to rocking our final date with our Florida fans, I‘ve been advised to have immediate surgery, “ said Chester. “I’m sorry for any disappointment this has caused and look forward to seeing you again soon.”
Refunds for Sunday, single day tickets available at point of purchase: info@delunafest.com
The Pensacola date was to have been the final show on Linkin Park’s A Thousand Suns World Tour, which travelled through 5 continents, 30 countries and played in front of over 1,000,000 fans. Upon the tour’s completion last week, co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda posted this message to Linkin Park’s fans: , “ The tour took us to amazing new places. The performances at Puerta De Alcala (Madrid), Griffith Park (Los Angeles), Red Square (Moscow), Tel Aviv & Singapore (among others) were landmarks for the band. I just want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to our fans for making this tour and album cycle truly amazing.”
After a well deserved short break, the band is expected to assemble in the studio to begin work on its next recording.
DeLuna Fest 2011 and FFTG regret that Linkin Park has withdrawn from participating in the festival this year due to Chester Bennington’s upcoming shoulder surgery. We wish Chester the best in his recovery. DeLuna Fest organizers are actively looking to fill the Sunday night slot and thank fans in advance for their patience while they await the news. In the meantime, please stay tuned for more information on the revised line-up for this year’s DeLuna Fest.
