LAST DANCE FOR CLIVE'S EGO January 12, 2009 THIS could be the last year for Clive Davis' legendary pre-Grammy party. Last week, he announced he'd throw the $1 million-plus gala next month, not with its usual sponsor - Davis' company, Sony Music Group - but with the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS), which hands out the Grammys. An insider said, "Sony told Clive it wasn't going to pay for the party this year. It was a bad year for them, and [Sony chief] Howard Stringer feels the party doesn't help sell any albums and only serves to promote Clive's ego . . . Clive then tried to get his own sponsors but couldn't, so NARAS stepped in. But forget about next year. It's over," said our source. Last year, Alicia Keys, Fergie, the Foo Fighters and Leona Lewis performed. This year, Whitney Houston, a Davis discovery in the '80s, will sing. Her comeback album drops in March. Reps for Davis and Sony didn't return calls. ...

其實原先這篇文的標題是『Hopeful For 2009』，而且原先預定發文的日期是2008.12.31。 選在今天發文，並更改標題為『 Hopeful For 34 』，是因為老人我，今天滿34歲了...... 從去年的11月底開始，我除了工作上的事要忙，還有一些私事要處理，幾乎每天除了工作外，下了班還是要去幫忙朋友處理一些狀況，除了忙，還是忙。 跨年夜那天，我是在台中的計程車上度過，連倒數都沒數到咧..... 這幾年來，我幾乎也沒啥在慶生，一來是我走 孤單老人 路線許久，再者是我也沒啥要大肆慶祝的念頭.......(事實上是沒有人幫我慶生.... ) 每到歲末年初，我總是要走一下憂鬱中年男子路線，哀號一下自己這一年來遇到多少狗屁倒灶的事，然後再許下心願，但日復一日、年復一年，老人我除了智慧沒多增長，荷包也沒多飽滿些.....真正是害了了！ 新的一年，多增長了一歲的我，此刻的心情，卻是這幾年來，生日當天最雀躍的一次。除了工作上軌道外，在我最近所忙的 私事 中，我還真的學到蠻多東西的，而學到的這些東西，都是不久的將來，我所可以做的事；而這些技能，未來也能幫助到我身邊的家人、朋友..... 所以囉！這一個多月來，睡眠不足和越來越嚴重的熊貓眼，都會是值得的。 2009.1.5 Davin我滿34歲了.... 很感謝那些陪我一路走過來的家人及朋友，如果沒有你們，我大概還是那個很愛無病呻吟的老頭..... 生日，當然還是要有女神的歌聲相伴..... Whitney Houston - You'll Never Stand Alone Lyrics： If there's a time when the tears should fill your eyes And you can't see past the shadows To the sun on the other side Don't despair, because there always will be someone there Don't lose faith, love won't let you lose your way Because You, you'll never stand alone I'll be standing by...

What tune will music industry sell in 2009? Friday, January 2, 2009 7:48 AM EST By Gary Graff, Journal Register News Service That will be the theme for the music business in 2009 as we turn the page from the diminishing CD sales, the burgeoning online business and the Britney Spears comeback to a new year. It will be highlighted by — well, the continuing Britney Spears comeback but also the return of some favorite names, several of whom made late decisions to hold back expected 2008 releases and put them out in the new year instead. So make space on your shelves or hard drives for the likes of Eminem, U2 and Green Day, and clear a little room on your credit card for the touring returns of Spears, Fleetwood Mac and some permutation of Led Zeppelin. Here's a look at 15 of the biggest stories in music for 2009... Eminem: Even during the holidays the Detroit rapper was busy working with producer Dr. Dre to finish work on "Relapse," his first new album in five years, which is ...

Wednesday, December 17, 2008 By JANE STEVENSON Last Updated: 17th December 2008, 1:39am Celine Dion stands out in David Foster's new book, Hit Man, as his favourite artist to work with, but there is one artist who was so difficult that Foster says he'll never do it again "for no amount of money." However, Foster doesn't name names in the book or in person. "I didn't write about it," Foster said. "That would be very cruel to say that." And before you go thinking it was Whitney Houston -- who has made headlines more recently for drug use and fighting with her ex-husband Bobby Brown (who she divorced in 2007) than for making music -- you would be wrong. "She and I have been trying to get back into the studio for the last year," Foster said. "And I have a song I produced that my friend Diane Warren wrote, and this song is spectacular. And actually I just got a call from Whitney's camp a couple of weeks ago saying she'd li...
