Janet Devlin has unveiled some new material online. On Friday (October 26), the former X Factor contestant uploaded a video to her YouTube account which includes footage of her performing tracks live at Steelworks Studios in Sheffield. "A lot of people think I've been doing nothing," says Devlin at the start of the six-minute clip. "But I've kept my head down and been really busy actually writing my own songs for the album." The 17-year-old singer from County Tyrone can then be heard performing a pop-folk song that carries the lyrical hook "it could be wonderful" and a more mournful ballad titled 'Crown of Thorns'. Earlier this month, Devlin confirmed that she had been working with songwriters including Newton Faulkner and Joshua Radin. The teenager described (more)...

With 2011 almost at an end, Glen provides a run-down of his 10 favourite movie songs from the last 12 months…

Bill Withers: Lovely Day
127 Hours
There’s an ironic use of Bill Withers’ classic track in 127 Hours, as it accompanies the point at which our protagonist is at his most desperate – trapped in the middle of nowhere, facing certain death. Whist it may be a lovely day for anyone enjoying the freedom of the national park, it’s far from a lovely day for James Franco’s Aaron Ralston.

Popular opinion on Pearl Jam has fluctuated wildly over the 20 years of the band's existence. Its second album, "Vs.," set a record for most copies sold in its first week of release; but a pervasive fear of the spotlight, coupled with the band's tendency to take itself too seriously, turned some people off, and the huge proliferation of hunger dunger dang imitators that came up in Pearl Jam's wake led others to deem Eddie Vedder and crew guilty by association.
Still, through it all, Pearl Jam persevered, and now the band's taking a much-deserved, season-long victory lap. At the forefront is the Cameron Crowe-helmed documentary "Pearl Jam Twenty," which gives us a chance to reflect, to celebrate, and to enjoy what has made Pearl Jam such a lasting part of the rock landscape: the music.
To that end, we have the "Pearl Jam Twenty" soundtrack, stocked with material spanning the band's entire career.

Cameron Crowe's Pearl Jam Twenty, a documentary about the rock band Pearl Jam, will premiere in September at the Toronto International Film Festival before making its way later that month to select theaters.
A 384-page hardcover book will be released on September 13 in conjunction with the film, as well as, of course, a 2-disc soundtrack, which will include 29 unreleased tracks (see full track listing here below). The soundtrack comes out on September 20, 2011, but you can take a listen to one song from it, "Crown of Thorns," right now in the player below.
You can also check out the trailer for the film here below. The doc is said to contain tons of rare video, interviews, and music of the Seattle band, who's now celebrating 20 years together, as well as many hours of recent footage shot by Crowe. If you're a fan of the band, this is going to be...

In celebration of the band's 20th anniversary (yes, it's been that long, you're old), Cameron Crowe's documentary, "Pearl Jam Twenty" is right around the corner. Making its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, of course it wouldn't be a Pearl Jam film without a soundtrack. Comprised of live cuts and demos, the two-disc soundtrack will arrive on September 20th, to coincide with the doc, and will include 29 unreleased tracks. Highlights include "Black" from their still unreleased 1992 MTV Unplugged appearance, a Mother Love Bone cover of "Crown Of Thorns" during their 10th Anniversary tribute to…...

Pearl Jam’s soundtrack to Cameron Crowe’s documentary about the band, “Pearl Jam 20,” won’t be out until Sept. 20, but today, the Seattle group released its cover of Mother Love Bone’s “Crown of Thorns.” Mother Love Bone ended with lead singer Andrew Wood’s fatal overdose in 1990. Pearl Jam was then born partially out the remnants with Mlb bassist Jeff Ament and guitarist Stone Gossard forming the band. [More after the jump...] This live version of “Crown of Thorns” comes from Pearl Jam’s Oct. 22, 2000 show at the MGM Grand Las Vegas. Pj's version is very similar, but sounds a...

Happy birthday to Graham Norton, who turns 48 today, and Heath Ledger, who would've been 32. Bravo has renewed Watch What Happens Live for a fifth season, which means we get another year of Andy Cohen trying to get Housewives drunk on camera (which admittedly, isn't difficult). Oxygen has three new series in development, the most intriguing of which is Lost Angels, which follows the life of Chloe Lattanzi, the daughter of icon Olivia Newton-John. Chloe holds a special place in my heart for gloriously massacring every song she performed on the reality competition Rock The Cradle. In what may be the death knell for gay bookstores, The Castro's A Different Light is shutting its doors. If you can't have a gay bookstore there, is there any hope? Here's the new poster for Torchwood: Miracle Day. I was afraid they were going to emphasize the American cast over John and that one...

Fangoria readers might recognize Jean Beauvoir as the composer behind the theme songs for Mary Lambert's Pet Sematary and Wes Craven's Shocker. Outside of his filmic work (which also includes "Feel the Heat" from 1986's Cobra), the one-time member of The Plasmatics is known for pushing the creative envelope - something he continues to do with his latest project, Crown of Thorns.
Fangoria Musick just got a hold of the risqué new music video for "Rock Ready" off Crown of Thorns' latest record Faith, which can be viewed below.
Alluding to the album title, the "Rock Ready" video is set in a church; however, Voodoo symbolism is displayed throughout - a nod to Beauvoir’s Haitian roots. With heavy guitars and thumping drums, the band sings of worshiping no God other than rock itself while a sultry, fire-breathing "Betty" lies at the altar.

Patrick Tang is about as big of a Pearl Jam fan as you’ll find, which is saying a lot, given the band’s rabid following. Tang, 25, plays lead guitar for Atlanta comedy-core band the Attractive Eighties Women (of which Paste associate editor Steve Labate is also a member), and says his “shredding is definitely influenced by Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready.” He’s seen the band countless times (sometimes traveling cross country to do so), and has amassed hundreds of hours of Pj bootlegs, making him an unofficial expert on the subject.
At the moment, Tang’s favorite Pearl Jam songs are “Given To Fly” and “Sleight of Hand,” and he says the best Pearl Jam show he ever saw was April 19, 2003 at Atlanta’s Lakewood Amphitheater, though he admits his love for that particular performance is a little biased. “It was my first show,” says Tang. “They played...
