P!nk achieved exactly what she wanted to on Funhouse. “It feels good to get people not just emoting and releasing all that energy, but getting angry and motivated too. It’s group therapy.” Pre-order Funhouse now at iTunes and get a bonus track!

Apparently the wheels are in motion for Chinese Democracy to be released exclusively at one retail location. At this point does anybody care anymore? I guess at least it means it must be coming out soon? Read more from Reuters:
The June leak of nine allegedly “mastered, finished” tracks from Guns N’ Roses’ long-delayed “Chinese Democracy” spurred a renewed round of speculation about whether the Axl Rose-led band will finally release the 14-years-in-the-making album.
But some concrete signs are finally emerging that the album’s release could be imminent. That’s because, according to sources, negotiations are under way for “Chinese Democracy” to come out as an exclusive at one of the big-box retailers — either Wal-Mart or Best Buy.
Negotiations are also ongoing for conventional record company distribution, another source said.
Guns N’ Roses is now managed by Irving Azoff’s Front Line Management, and Azoff is a well-known proponent of issuing albums exclusively through retailers. He released the Eagles’ “Long Road Out of Eden” through Wal-Mart, much to the chagrin of other merchants.
It’s unclear who initiated the Guns N’ Roses exclusive negotiations — Front Line or Interscope, the band’s label.
Representatives at Front Line and Interscope with knowledge of the situation couldn’t be reached for comment. A Wal-Mart representative said the chain couldn’t confirm this fall’s exclusive album offerings. Best Buy representatives couldn’t be reached for comment.

NEW YORK and LONDON, April 10 — Last.fm announced today that Portishead’s long-awaited new album, Third, will be made exclusively available on the site, in its entirety, for free from April 21, a week before its official release.
Third is the Bristol band’s first studio album in 11 years, and each of its 11 tracks will be made available for free, full-length, on-demand streaming on Last.fm for 7 days leading up the official release on April 28.
Martin Stiksel, Last.fm co-founder, said: “We’re enormously proud to be able to host the premiere of an album that caps a trilogy of modern classics from Portishead, one of the most innovative and influential bands the U.K.’s ever produced. It means a lot to us, as Portishead was the first artist we ever uploaded to Last.fm, and “Cowboys” from their second album was the first track ever played when we went live in 2002. So it’s hugely appropriate that we kick off what aims to be an ongoing series of exclusive album previews with the band that helped us kick off Last.fm.”
The album will be available from Monday, April 21 at: Last.fm/music/portishead/third.
This is the first time that Last.fm, which offers free access to the largest licensed catalogue of music on the Web, has collaborated with an individual artist to exclusively premier an album before its official release. All of Portishead’s previous albums are also available to stream in full for free at Last.fm/music/portishead.
Currently the fastest-growing free music Web site in the US, Last.fm will be offering more exclusive album premieres throughout 2008 and beyond.
