    Canadian songstress K.D Lang has just released her retrospective album entitled 'Reintarnation' a best-of anthology of her independent country songs. The cover of her new album is yet another hommage to Elvis' first LP.

     

    When asked about the cover K.S. Lang said, "I just liked the idea of taking Elvis' album cover, along with The Clash's seminal 'London Calling', as I always used to get compared to Sid Vicious and Elvis Presley when I was doing country. And so I just thought that that was a tip of the hat to the people who used to call me a 'CowPunk.' It sort of goes back to the combination of Rockabilly and Punk."

     

    In the past K.D Lang has commented on Elvis saying, "He had total love in his eyes when he performed. He was the total androgenous beauty. I would practice Elvis in front of the mirror when I was twelve or thirteen years old."Source: Elvis Information Network / Updated: Jun 18, 2006

    Update On Elvis Belt A belt that Elvis Presley wore during his 1972 performance in Honolulu, Hawaii brought $66,000 US at a special auction of celebrity items. The online auction in New York went live Saturday with a satellite feed to London, England. The belt — with a final price six-times the auction estimate — came from the estate of the late TV star Jack Lord of Hawaii Five-O fame and was sold to Neville Tuli, owner of an art auction house in Bombay, India.Source: Elvis Information Network / Updated: Jun 19, 2006

    Jennifer Hodge, widow of Charlie, made her own tribute for her "best friend and husband". She designed a site with pictures and memories.

     

    From the website:

     

    My name is Jennifer Hodge and Charlie was my husband and my best friend. I am inviting you into Charlie's world and I would like to keep his memory alive by sharing with you a small part of Charlie or as Elvis called him "Cholly".Source: Various / Updated: Jun 12, 2006

    Would it be possible to upload a sample to a file sharing place, and then post the link for us to download it? Not something I have ever done, other than the youtube site, but do you think it's a possibility? It would be great to hear some of your stuff mate :)

     

    If I knew what that meant I'd give it a go :unsure: :D :D
