Prince releases new song plus he speaks about Gaga & co, "transfigured" Bob Dylan claims he "doesn't exist", Arctic Monkeys' mum confirms recording plans... Daily Hot List
Wednesday, 19 September
Prince made a rare TV appearance on The View in the US this week (below), sporting a new afro. The singer, who confirmed he had vaults of unreleased material ("One day someone will release, I probably won't, I like writing new stuff"), expressed his respect for Bruce Springsteen and his dislike for Twitter. When asked for his opinion of current artists like Lady Gaga, Prince diplomatically suggested: "Different strokes for different folks... I make music rather than listen to it". Talking of which, he's released a new song ahead of three charity shows in Chicago later this month called R'n'R Love Affair.
Bob Dylan says he has been transfigured - the conversion of the physical form into spiritual - following the death of his namesake, Robert Zimmerman, a Hells Angels chapter leader who died in the 60s. "Have you heard of transfiguration?" Dylan asks "Well, you're looking at someone that's been [transfigured]... You can go and learn about it from the Catholic Church. You can learn about it in some old mystical books, but it's a real concept... So when you ask your questions you're asking them to a person who's long dead. You're asking them to a person that doesn't exist."

The reformed Death From Above 1979 have written new material and they plan to perform it live this autumn. "[We] have been writing new songs and the only way we feel like we can make them any good is to go out and play them for people," explained the band's Sebastien Grainger. "We're going to throw our little muscle bound babies to the lions and see who survives. We tried just jumping into the studio, but the songs lacked spirit. They lacked life. So this tour is song CPR."
