| Composer John Williams To Score ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’
Legendary composer John Williams, who is responsible for the memorable music of the Star Wars film saga, will return to score Star Wars: Episode VII, according to Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, who announced the news today at Star Wars Celebration in Germany. Right after the announcement, the official Star Wars site posted a video interview with Williams on returning to the fold to work on the highly anticipate new Star Wars feature film, where he says he feels like he’s “never really left the galaxy far, far away.” While he hasn’t seen the script yet nor does he know what the story will be, Williams assumes that there will be themes from the previous movies he can draw upon. Watch the video interview here below.

| $5 Album Deal: Iggy Pop ‘Lust For Life’ |
Lust For Life, a classic Iggy Pop solo album produced by David Bowie and featuring the memorable raunchy title track, is now available on MP3 format from Amazon this month for only $5.00. Lust for Life is also available on CD for only $4.99 and is an AutoRip, which means it comes with a FREE MP3 version of the album. The follow up to the Pop’s first solo venture The Idiot, Lust for Life finds its dirty fingers in the sonic cookie jar, as The Stooges front man exposes himself in the manner which he is most accustomed to in that band, and spills his darkest secrets and dirty fetishes on the sonic canvas. With the bizarre title track, with its memorable drum beat, and Iggy waxing about wondering where someone got lotion and speaking of taking it in the ear before, or the sexual metaphors of “The Passenger,” with its dark edged, yet bright, almost sing-a-long passages, to the spitting in the face of his detractors with “Success,” (which is almost like a twisted flipside to Bowie’s hit single “Fame”) to “Some Weird Sin,” Iggy still cuts like a knife, but is able to do so under a mid ’70s David Bowie production which finds him in a little bit more at the mainstream party, but still sitting at the juvenile delinquents table however. Lust for Life is a great darkhorse of an album during a time that was sandwiched in between the original proto-punk sounds of The Stooges and The MC5 and the right around the corner blowout success that punk music proper sported. Browse over 100 albums on sale this month in MP3 format for only $5 each!
