Michael Jackson (1958-2009)
What a strange and sad day. Michael Jackson was possibly the greatest (and definitely the most influential) artist of our time. He's one of my biggest and first musical influences, and I know that to be true for many many people. I hope he's in a better place and can finally be at peace. I feel like he was very misunderstood. I'm taking comfort in the fact that his music will live forever...

| Evanescence's "Going Under" and "My Immortal" to be in the Twilight Saga's New Moon |

March 18, 2009 / music 0 Comments
I’m sure we can all agree that a movie just doesn’t feel complete without a little music. Like soul mates, the two were made for each other. Luckily for the modern director, today’s music industry has plenty of talented musicians with hit songs that add to any movie’s appeal. These songs are just too good to be confined to one album, and this is where the original motion picture soundtrack comes in.
Carrie Underwood’s, “That’s Where It Is” is featured in the New in Town soundtrack while The Wrestler’s original soundtrack includes “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy” by Lil Wayne, featuring Birdman. Alkaline Trio’s song, “Over and Out” is featured on the Underworld: Rise of the Lycans soundtrack, along with Perry Farrell’s, “Nasty Little Perv,” which also appears on the official TV soundtrack released last month for the hit show, NCIS. Farrell’s track, “Go All the Way (Into the Twilight)” is also on the original motion picture soundtrack for the infamous vampire film, Twilight.
I Love You, Man, a romantic comedy due out next week, features “Dancing with Myself” by The Donnas. Also lined up for an upcoming film are Linkin Park’s “Papercut” and Evanescence’s “Going Under” and “My Immortal” in The Twilight Saga: New Moon due out in November 2009.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the music.

it just mentions "former members of Ev" contributing to Tyrone Wells' album.
i'm guessing David because Tyrone seems to be somewhat of a Christian artist.
*edit*
i was right
Tyrone worked with songwriter/producer Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, KT Tunstall, James Morrison) and Iain Archer (UK indie artist and Snow Patrol co-writer) in the UK, and Tim Myers (formerly of OneRepublic), David Hodges (formerly of Evanescence) and Matt Scannell (Vertical Horizon) in the U.S. Creating a work that manages to be more guitar-edged than previous Wells' efforts - but still unabashedly soul-baring - he appreciated huddling with collaborators like Terefe, who - like Wells - is a big believer in trusting one's instincts. “We had great chemistry together.” “Losing Ground,” one of a handful of production/songwriting collaborations between Wells and Terefe, was written and demoed in less than 3 hours during their first writing session together.

POSSIBLE NEWS: Amy Lee Writing and Recording With Will Hunt
I came across this article and it states...
Quote:
Since he started producing records about five years ago, Will Hunt has worked with some big regional names, including The Polyphonic Spree, Green River Ordinance, and The Burning Hotels, and he's currently writing and recording with Evanescence's Amy Lee. But the 31-year-old Fort Worthian is closing the doors to his studio, Spaceway, in Dallas, because he's going to be doing so much work in New York City starting this summer. "The Fort Worth music scene is diverse and impressive," he said. "It has been a pleasure to contribute in some small way."
just a reminder of WHICH Will Hunt..

Hey everybody.
I just wanted to check in and say hi. I saw all the stuff about "evanescence day" and didn't realize it was the anniversary of our first major release! Six years!? It feels all that was a lifetime ago. I remember the day it came out, we were in Seattle on tour and we walked down to a local record store, which is crazy in itself now that those are basically extinct, and bought a copy apiece. Actually I bought 2 copies for extra luck. I don't really remember much from around then- its a blur. But I remember that there was a poster of our album cover in the window of the little place, and that was a big deal. I took a picture. Speaking of record stores, did you guys hear that all the Virgin stores are closing? Its so sad. And weird. We really will see the end of record stores in our lifetime. It wasn't as shocking when just the smaller stores started going out of business, but now no Virgin Megastore in NYC?? Circuit City is closing too. I don't know, just rambling, but I'm going to miss walking into a music store, browsing around at stuff I don't need, asking the guy at the counter what cd was on in the store because I like it and buying it, and just feeling like there's a place where I kinda belong. Maybe its petty and stupid, but there's just something really magical about looking around at the history of music- from the Beatles to Neil Young to Nirvana to Bjork- and having a little place there. Right between the Eurythmics and Everclear. I hope that this new era of seemingly limitless information will still have some magic. I hope great music will still shine through when there's an impossibly bigger sea of noise. I hope that radio stations and record companies will either find a way to restore their confidence in music and originality or just go ahead and die already.
So the Legends and Lyrics thing was pretty crazy. Turns out Dwight Yoakam is a complete badass. I guess I'm the last to know because I don't usually listen to country, but I don't care what you like, he is the real thing. A musician, an entertainer, a storyteller, a pro. Gavin DeGraw was extremely talented too. He's a great songwriter and his voice is insane. I'm only saying all this because I really didn't know anything at all about either of them before going to Nashville. The fact that the three of us sat around in a circle on stage and played songs in the same setting was somewhere between genius and hilarious- we're all vastly different. I think thats why I liked it so much. The banter was akward for sure but the music was really good. I'm nervous and excited to watch it. Thanks to you hungry, sleep deprived people that trekked it long distances to support us that day. It meant alot to me. Thank you to Susana and Kaiden for the cupcake kit and I LOVED THAT CARD! My sister Carrie was there with me and we played the pirate song over and over cracking up later that night. Kaiden, you are awesome and I wish I could get hugs from you every day!
I'm excited about the music I've been working on lately- no nametags yet so relax!- I hope to be always growing and edging toward the outskirts of my comfort zone. Thank you for appreciating the music I've made so far, and thank you for sticking around in the quiet times.
love,
Amy |

In front of a shining black Baldwin piano, Amy Lee of Evanescence made her first real performance in over a year…and it was a good one. On February 23, 2009, the hauntingly beautiful singer/songwriter could be found at a taping of Legends and Lyrics in Nashville, Tennessee, sharing the stage with artists Gavin DeGraw and Dwight Yoakam.
Though out of her element in an "in the round" session, she quickly made herself comfortable at the piano, performing an acoustic set with guitar (cue Terry Balsamo of Evanescence) and cello. The trio can only be described as raw, ethereal, and haunting.
Lee, the first of the artists to perform, began with Bring Me To Life from the album Fallen, setting the bar for the program. Before delving into Lithium, from album The Open Door, Amy felt the need to clarify the meaning of the song. Speculating that there were likely many interpretations, she explained simply that the song was about choosing to feel over choosing numbness. Good Enough, also from album The Open Door, was described by Lee as the “happy song” of the evening. Before Call Me When You’re Sober, again from The Open Door, she went on to explain how the song was created from two very different pieces, one from her, one from Terry.
For Amy’s final song of the evening, it was a surprise and an honor to be privy to her new song, one that had not yet been performed for a public audience. From the first few notes and syllables uttered, Lee held the crowd, including Gavin DeGraw and Dwight Yoakam, in the palm of her hand. The piece, entitled Your Love, was described as being about love that cannot work. It took a few moments for the spell to wear off once the song was over.
There are artists whose live performances fall short, that disappoint. Amy Lee is not one of those artists. Her emotions run deep and when she bares herself to her audience, it’s difficult not to take notice; you cannot just hear her words, you feel them as well. |

EVANESCENCE frontwoman Amy Lee will be featured on an upcoming episode of "Legends & Lyrics", a unique musical performance series showcasing the art of songwriting. Each show is a mixture of famous recording artists from all genres who write their own hit songs as well as the professional song poets they sometimes depend on to write hit songs for them.
Lee will be accompanied by EVANESCENCE guitarist Terry Balsamo during the performance, which will be taped on February 23 in Nashville, Tennessee.
"Legends & Lyrics" is distributed and presented by American Public Television and will appear on PBS stations nationwide starting April 2009 (check local listings). |

| VH1 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs |
[Jan. 4th, 2009|07:54 pm] |
According to Bret Michaels who is hosting the show, Ev is "the only hard rock group EVER to win the Grammy for Best New Artist. Really."
Ronnie James Dio - "I love Evanescence. I love the darkness of it. I just love that the song is so different."
Don Dokken - "Her voice is just spectacular. She just belts it out; it's very operatic, a little bit gothic; I was just blown away."
Dee Snider - "The first time I heard it, I didn't know what to make out of it. Pop stations were playing Evanescence. Really! They shouldn't have been. This is way too heavy, but somehow Amy's voice really crossed over."
Amy - "There was definitely a lot of speculation before our album came out that we would not make it, just simply because we were different."
Amy on current status - "I've been home all this year just being normal and it's weird and great, but the writing is definitely a little bit different. I don't wanna give anything away, but it's still growing, still evolving."
Amy also had a couple comments on Blue Oyster Cult, Faith No More, and White Zombie. FNM: The guitarist from Faith No More became a California farmer and grew the 235th largest pumpkin in the world, and Amy said that gives her hope with her stupid hobbies.
