19.10.09 Weekend News Update

19 October 2009

Good day Genesis fans!

Yes, I know it's Monday, so it's not *truly* a Weekend News Update, but we enjoy a little flexibility here at Genesis-Music.com.  We hope you will also!

I was off traveling in the past week, which is why there was no Weekend News Update for the past week, so I have accumulated a number of links and pieces of information that can be of interest to Genesis fans of all stripes. 

GENESIS

The Live Box gets a write up in the Buffalo News, and while it is critical of some of the albums, I believe the reviewer is able to write about his feeling regarding the music without descending into the usual commentary we're used to seeing from some areas of the music press. 

And, while this article doesn't have much to do with Genesis, I am always intrigued to see where the band turns up in mentions in the media.  Take a look at this article to see what I mean...

TONY BANKS

Tony's song 'For a While,' from A Curious Feeling is being offered for release as a download single at these outlets: 

24-7 Entertainment Amazon MP3 Bell Mobility Full Track eMusic FNAC Hot Topic / Shockhound iTunes Music Store

Junketboy / CIMS lala Last.fm Radio Limewire A La Carte LiveWire / Groove Mobile Mbop Megastore MediaNet Digital

Mix and Burn Napster Puretracks Rhapsody SecuryCast SoundBuzz SpiralFrog

Be sure to check out the single, and also the re-release of the album through Esoteric Records. 

PHIL COLLINS

Phil was honoured at the ASCAP Awards for 'In the Air Tonight,' according to this article at Billboard.com. 

MIKE RUTHERFORD

If you're interested in Mike's work on other people's albums, a write up of such a contribution gets a mention in the Rockisone blog.  Check out the review of the album by Verity at this link.

DARYL STUERMER

Daryl is playing live on 15 January 2010.  Check out this link for the information.

So, there you have it, the news for this week!  More to come in the future!
