No Doubt – Everything, basically!


If you ever wanted a sign as to just how much the recorded music industry is changing, try this. If you buy a “top tier” ticket to one of No Doubt's forthcoming live shows you can download their entire back catalogue! For free! That's seven albums, and one extra exclusive track – their first new recording in years - which is, quite bizarrely, a cover of Adam & The Ants' Stand & Deliver. Their tour kicks off on 02 May 2 in Atlantic City and those “top tier” tickets are actually quite reasonable. They start from $42.50, which is about thirty quid.

Lenka - Anything I'm Not (Acoustic)

Ex-Decoder Ring vocalist Lenka was recently named VH1's "You Oughta Know Artist" and chosen as iTunes Single Of The Week in the US, but possibly the best barometer of her impending popularity is the fact that one of her tracks, The Show, has had over six million plays on MySpace. You can download this track for free from Columbia Records, if you sign up to her mailing list to hear what all the fuss is about.

Peter Doherty - Grace/Wastelands

Doherty's delicate musical and medical rehabilitation continues with this new album of shrewd, languid guitar pop. Head to iTunes where you'll find an exclusive bonus track, an acoustic version of Lady Don't Fall Backwards. Handily, and unlike many other iTunes bonus tracks, you don't have to download the full album to get this, you can just buy it by itself if you want.
