The Palestinian multi-instrumentalist Ahmed Eid has released his first solo record "min ghazzeh la baghdad min haifa la beirut (من غزة لبغداد من حيفا لبيروت)" after performing with bands for more than a decade.

Alex Turner and his band mates recently ended their four-year long hiatus with a pretty special sounding album. Despite the endeavours in easy listening territory their live show is still a pretty solid rock and roll affair. But that might just be a snapshot after all.
