It’s Day One of the Music Matters Conference here in Singapore.  I’m taking notes.

  1. Do you recognize any of these celebrity voices?
  2. Metallica’s James Hetfield is narrating a show for The History Channel. It’s about hunting bears. Morrissey will not be happy.
  3. Is the French national anthem racist?
  4. Pink Floyd is counting down to…what?
  5. Check out these new guitars made from reclaimed wood.  I wonder what they sound like?
  6. This new lawsuit against Led Zeppelin is getting weird.
  7. Is Apple looking to get Jimmy Iovine to run all of the company’s content?
  8. We’re getting down to the wire when it comes to which metal band represents Canada at Wacken.
  9. So we’re getting some kind of U2 release this year.  See?
