Yes, it is official.  Hannah Montana, the show that changed the network and tween pop culture as we knew it, is set to end this year, with the show's fourth and final.  Miley Cyrus has become much, much more popular than the TV show that introduced her to the world, and she is ready to move on.  Miley Cyrus plans to focus on her solo career.  Production for the fourth season of the show is set to begin this month.  Until the new season comes out, we can catch Miley in The Last Song and the upcoming Sex and the City 2.

Ex-Eastenders star Hannah Waterman is the weight loss story of the year – and now she’s revealing the secrets of her astonishing transformation in her new fitness DVD.
Papped on holiday in a bikini last April looking as Hannah puts it “like the proverbial beached whale” was all the incentive she needed to get herself in shape.
She’s now lost nearly 3 stone in weight and dropped from a size 16 to a slinky size 6. She admits she was so fat “people thought I was pregnant, but it wasn’t a baby it was too many cheese sarnies and glasses of wine!”

Both the Electric Bass and Electric Bass 2 videos in DVD format. Electric Bass is a complete guide to grooving with a drummer in 15 styles, including funk, samba, reggae, jazz, shuffle, baiao, Latin, and rock. John provides examples in each style and discusses major influences and variations. Includes an extensive discussion/ demonstration of technique (on the four-string bass). (85 min.) In Electric Bass 2, John offers insight into soloing by stressing the importance of ear-training. He takes some of the mystery out of the six-string bass by showing how it is tuned, its amazing range, and by offering many examples of its applications. Includes performances of John's compositions plus a live clip with the Chick Corea Elektric Band.

The album covers in the liner notes show Mike Scott's evolution from an Arcadian Adonis to a ramshackle village folkie, mirroring his musical evolution. Indeed, part of the entertainment value of _The Wass* of the Moon_ is discerning The Waterboys' roots. Mike Scott sometimes sounds like a nasal Todd Rundgren, and sometimes like one of The Hollies, and, on "She Is So Beautiful", like Bob Dylan. A few of the best songs sound a lot like other songs. "She Is So Beautiful" sounds like Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman". "This is the Sea" could be a speeded-up rewrite of Van Morrison's "Listen to the Lion."
It's great that he has such good taste, and it's great that these echoes of those great artists emanated from The Spandex Years. This is a good collection of songs from what was by then a unique band.
