Red Hot Chili Peppers releasing singles before music labels collapse, Florence finally moves out, Fleetwood Mac to return in 2013, Johnny Marr teams-up with Bryan Ferry... Daily Hot List

Comments

Friday, 13 July... unlucky for some


Red Hot Chili Peppers decided to release nine singles - each vinyl and digital release features two tracks - starting with Strange Man and Long Progression on 14 August, because they were worried that by the time their record label got round to doing a box set the music industry might have collapsed. "We didn't want them to get lost, so we're going to put them out, mainly for our fans," explained the band's Chad Smith. "They would've waited for the Warner Bros box set in, like, 2020, if there's even a record company around then. I'm glad they're going to see the light of day because it's an important part of the band and what we were doing at the time."

Steve Tyler has decided to quit his role as an American Idol judge to focus on Aerosmith. "I strayed from my first love, Aerosmith, and I'm back - but instead of begging on my hands and knees, I got two fists in the air and I'm kicking the door open with my band," he explained. "The next few years are going to be dedicated to kicking some serious ass - the ultimate in auditory takeover. Idol was over the top fun, and I loved every minute of it. Now it's time to bring rock back."

US chain Target has denied it will not stock Frank Ocean's new album, Channel Orange, because the singer came out recently. Ocean's manager tweeted then deleted a comment that indicated the store donated "to non-equal rights organisations", before correcting himself on the next work by writing "Note to self: take your own advice. Emotional knee jerk reacting isn't the move." Target insist they will not carry the album because it was released early on iTunes and they focus on records that come out physically, although it is claimed they stocked Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch The Thrown despite it too getting an download first release.
