Van Halen is back with David Lee Roth sans Michael Anthony; Wolfgang Van Halen (Eddie’s son) is taking the bass duty. New album titled “A Different Kind Of Truth” is scheduled for February 7th, 2012 release while its first single “Tattoo” goes on sale on January 10th, 2012 on iTunes and January 14th, everywhere else such as Amazon MP3.
Blabbermouth.net user GhostofPerdition pointed out that “A Different Kind Of Truth” cover art looks like a rip-off of The Commodores “Movin’ On”.
Cannot unsee!
I noticed it a while back, but a tweet from Dave Navarro inspired me to spread the word even more. iPhone Autocorrect knows how to spell Motörhead, with the umlaut on the second “o”.

Four previously unreleased songs from “Death Magnetic” recording session is now available on iTunes collectively titled “Beyond Magnetic“. These songs were premiered during the week-long Metallica 30th anniversary celebration at the Fillmore in San Francisco.
Metallica and Mustaine had been on stage together during the Big 4 shows, but not like this. Dave Mustaine once again fulfilled the role he had back in 1982 and 1983, the lead guitarist of Metallica even only for three songs. Metallica and Dave Mustaine together performed “Phantom Lord”, “Jump In The Fire” and “Metal Militia” just like they did back in 1982 and 1983. How we all really wish Cliff Burton were there too.
Dave Mustaine and James Hetfield, side by side doing what they do best.
It is even more surreal to see Dave Mustaine and Kirk Hammett “being in Metallica” at the same time.
It might have been 1982 and 1983 again.
Note to James Hetfield and Dave Mustaine: It’s not too late to collaborate together again.

Apple finally launches iTunes Match two weeks after the “late October” date as mentioned in the “Let’s talk iPhone” event. iTunes Match costs $24.99 annually in the US.
How does iTunes Match work?
Well, iTunes scans the music in your iTunes library and matches them to the ones available in the iTunes Store. iTunes also uploads “unmatched” audio tracks (not just songs, but any audio tracks) from your iTunes Library into your iCloud account.
What you need to know about iTunes Match:
You can find a lot of articles about iTunes Match including the one from Apple Support. Some of you want to know the answer to the $24.99 question. Is iTunes Match worth it?
First, it costs $24.99 for one year. That’s pretty cheap.
Second, once I had iTunes Match I found it to be really convenient. I can easily access my song library on my computers, iPhone and iPad. Well, my HP TouchPad, Android phone and tablet have to take a backseat since they are not supported.
Third, I still purchased CD. Over the years, I ripped the CD’s into AAC and MP3 in various quality. Once I had them matched, I get a music library with consistent encoding quality. That is great considering I had a lot of 128kbps MP3 tracks.
The answer is simple, if you can spare $24.99 a year then you should have no problem trying out iTunes Match.
Remember that iTunes doesn’t have those obscured live bootleg tracks you love so much. iTunes will upload them and it might take some times depending on your internet upload speed.
