New Jimi Hendrix material to be released ~ Great News
Songs of Experience ... Jimi Hendrix in 1967. Photograph: Marc Sharratt/Rex Features This year will see a spate of new – sorry, old – Jimi Hendrix material, according to his estate, honouring the 40th anniversary of the guitarist's death. Valleys of Neptune, the first compilation of unreleased music, will be issued in March.
"It's wonderfully fresh material," Eddie Kramer, a former Hendrix engineer, told USA Today. "You hear the pure essence of the band, an in-your-face vibrancy. There were only four tracks and no overdubs, with Jimi singing as if he's in concert. He's at the top of his game." Valleys of Neptune's 12 songs were taken mostly from sessions at London's Olympic Studios and New York's Record Plant in 1969. Intended for the follow-up album to Electric Ladyland, they feature Hendrix's first work with bassist Billy Cox and his final recordings with the original Jimi Hendrix Experience lineup. Kramer, who recorded the tracks, was brought back for new digital mixes.
Besides the title track, a favourite of Hendrix collectors, Valley of Neptune's highlights include the only Jimi Hendrix Experience studio recording of Hear My Train a Comin', an instrumental rendition of Cream's Sunshine of Your Love, new versions of Fire and Red House, and the early original Mr Bad Luck. According to Hendrix's sister Janie, who now oversees his estate, the guitarist's "brilliance shines through on every one of these precious tracks".
The compilation will be released on 9 March, together with deluxe reissues of Are You Experienced, Axis, Electric Ladyland and First Rays of the New Rising Sun, each with a bonus documentary directed by Beatles Anthology creator Bob Smeaton. More re-releases are planned for later in the year, including the 1968 best-of Smash Hits, a Blu-Ray edition of Live at Woodstock. As for the rest of the unreleased music, Kramer claims there's loads to sort through. "[It's] a strong vault," he said, "a lot of live stuff, that we have yet to tap into." The estate made similar promises last year, announcing a DVD with backstage footage of Hendrix, which has yet to be released.

Die Young And Save Yourself

Shaun’s “Die Young & Save Yourself” series has finally made its way into print! Based off a lyric from a song by Brand New, the series is a tribute to certain famous young folks who tragically died before reaching the age of 29. Each poster is a 12″ X 16″ two color screenprint on 150lb white stock.
More info, pics, and availability after the jump …
The “Die Young & Save Yourself” series is meant to pay homage to each famous subject, and was created out of boundless respect for each artist’s legacy.
Aside from being quality, hand pulled screen prints, each poster also has a custom stamp on the back labeling the name of the subject, age at death, and cause of death. Check out this one as an example -

Do you know who they all are? I bet you do, because you are cool and smart. The title poster is an ambigram (if you flip it over it says the exact same thing – cool huh?) that says “dieyoung.”
If you like the prints, you can get the series as a full set (the right way!), or as individual pieces at ethenender.

Jimi Hendrix's roadie says guitarist's manager murdered him
Jimi Hendrix's former roadie James 'Tappy' Wright has claimed that the late guitar legend was murdered by his manager Michael Jeffrey.In his new book 'Rock Roadie', Wright claims that Jeffrey told him he plied Hendrix with pills and alcohol in order to kill him and claim on the guitarist's life insurance.Hendrix died in September 1970. His body was found in a room at London's Samarkand Hotel booked by Monika Dannemann, whom Hendrix had known for a matter of days.Jeffrey allegedly made the confession to Wright in 1971, two years before he was killed in a plane crash.Writing of the admission, Wright says: "I can still hear that conversation, see the man I'd known for so much of my life, his face pale, hand clutching at his glass in sudden rage."Jeffrey is quoted by Wright as telling him: "I was in London the night of Jimi's death and together with some old friends... we went round to Monika's hotel room, got a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth...then poured a few bottles of red wine deep into his windpipe."The manager was allegedly worried that Hendrix was about to sack him. He had recently taken out a life insurance policy worth $2 million (£1.2 million), with Jeffrey as beneficiary, reports the Mail On Sunday."I had to do it. Jimi was worth much more to me dead than alive," Jeffrey is quoted as telling Wright. "That son of a bitch was going to leave me. If I lost him, I'd lose everything."At the time of Hendrix's death, a coroner recorded an open verdict, stating that the cause was "barbiturate intoxication and inhalation of vomit". domingo, 29 de março de 2009

Niekirk then gave the tape to his sister, who sold it for a nominal fee ten years ago to Mark Sutherland and Paul Jackson, who run east London's Cafe Music Studios, reports The Independent.After years of negotiations with the Hendrix estate, the duo have been allowed to sell the tape. It will be auctioned through the Fame Bureau on April 28.sexta-feira, 13 de março de 2009
