Here's the latest on a new DVD & CD, which hits the streets next Tuesday, December 9:

"Extraordinary things always happen when unexpected. During the 18 months the Grammy-nominated French duo Justice spent touring following the release of their monumental debut LP, "extraordinary" didn't necessarily mean "amazing", or "great", (though it sometimes did) but "surreal", "weird", "horrendous", "fascinating", or "paranormal", etc. To cut a long story short, it means that without anyone to film you twenty-four/seven, no one will believe or get the essence of every moment you'd like to tell them about.

The Stills Release Exclusive Free Download on Zune Marketplace

Candian rockers the Stills were November's Ignition artists on the Zune Marketplace. Sure, you can knock Zune along with the other kids in the Geek Squad, but at least the MS Zune peeps have good taste.

The perk for you is you can download the exclusive free track of their original song demo "Snow in California [demo]", originally the B-side on the single "Being Here" from the band's latest 2008 release Oceans Will Rise.

According to the press release, "fans can discover what the Stills have in common with Wu Tang Clan (hint: has to do with GZA), and see the band's hand-picked Guestlist collection, which includes an eclectic mix of tunes from indie-rock cohorts Kings of Leon to metal legends Pantera to afrobeat Orchestra Baobab."
