Ater much speculation and anticipation, Lollapalooza organizers and Perry Farrell have confirmed that Farrell will be performing excerpts from his ultra pay-loaded musical projectile,
Kanye West’s highly anticipated sophomore album, “Late Registration,” has been shifted from its original July 12 release to Aug. 16 via Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam. The Hype Williams-directed video for first single “Diamonds From Sierra Leone” will premiere tonight (June 15) on BET and Monday on MTV’s “TRL.” The cut is No. 27 this week on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
The “Diamonds” video was shot in Prague and contrasts the elegance implied by commercials for DeBeers diamonds with a depiction of the horrors of the conflict diamond trade that has been at the center of civil war in Sierra Leone.
“I wanted to do whatever I could to learn more and educate people about the problem,” West says of the subject matter. “We came with the concept for the video and, of course, I couldn’t wait for the opportunity to rap on the subject.”

Just like DJs who take vinyl records or MP3 files to craft their own compositions, art lovers can now “remix” New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), college professor David Gilbert says.
Gilbert’s communication technologies class at Marymount Manhattan College has created unofficial, often irreverent audio guides to nine MoMA paintings. They’re part of a project on how new technology empowers people to break free of traditional media, in this case the museum’s own guide.
Where else could viewers learn that Jackson Pollock’s “Echo Number 25” sounds like eavesdropping on banter between two college students interspersed with a woman’s orgasmic moans?
The guides are available free of charge on Gilbert’s site (http://mod.blogs.com/art_mobs/) and can be stored on digital music players like Apple Computer Inc.’s iPod.
“The traditional barriers between organizations and customers, public and in the case of museums, patrons, is coming down,” said Gilbert. The project is part of a larger media trend of users creating programming at home and making it available to anyone with an Internet connection.
Radio, TV and newspaper businesses have taken notice and are now racing to find ways to offer versions of their own.
