Steve Naghavi couldn’t help but noticing that large parts of today’s club crowds had no more knowledge of the ground breaking Synth Pop Hits of the Eighties – which awakened a missionary instinct in And One’s restless front man. Thus, the guys thoroughly naghavigated an illustrious collection of genre classics, from “Blue Monday” and “Big In Japan” to “The Sun Always Shines On TV.” A big tour through Germany’s biggest concert halls followed and now we can reap the fruits of this labour on CD, as well: “Bodypop 1 ½” features nine of the biggest classics of electronic Pop music in And One’s patented SuperDuperCoverLoverSound, with a whole lot of live flavour mingled in. - Details

Bristol (UK) based electropop act Mesh are working hard in their studio in Bristol writing and recording their new album. Side-Line had a quick chat with Rich, here's what he told us: "As yet it [the album] is untitled. We are hoping to have it finished in the early half of 2009 and have it ready to be released in the Autumn. So far we are really pleased with the finished tracks." When asked what we could exactly expect soundwise, Rich had this to say: "The reaction from friends who have heard the material have said 'it is definitely Mesh, but is Grittier and more Rockier than before' so I guess that's a good thing (laughs)." In more Mesh related news, the band just finished a remix for the Spanish electronic band OBK. Source: Side Line Magazine

Marilyn Manson plans a happy family reunion with Dita Von Teese and Trent Reznor in court. Manson wants both to testify on his behalf in an upcoming court showdown with keyboardist Stephen Bier aka Madonna Wayne Gacy. Bier sued Manson for more than $20 million last year, claiming Manson walked away with millions of dollars in band revenue. Manson would have used the money to pay for drugs, assorted Nazi paraphernalia, the cost of Von Teese's engagement ring and the ex-couple's 2005 wedding, and interior decorating of Manson's mansion, including a stuffed grizzly bear, a pair of baboons and the skeleton of a 4-year-old Chinese girl. - Details
