I really recommanded to you "Ultimate Mancini" with Stevie Wonder, Take 6, Kenny Rankin, Michael Lang, Plas Johnson, George Doering, Dan Higgins, Monica Mancini, and others. Listen the "westcoastish" duet between Monica Mancini and Kenny Rankin on "Peter Gunn Suite : Dreamsville", with gorgeous horn arrangements.

Peter Mayer offers a free song from his new album called "MusicBox" to download on mp3 format : Faith In Angels. This is a very nice PR-thing for all the fans!

According to Defamer blog:
"Bangles singer Susanna Hoffs has recently sold a script to Revolution Studios (albeit with two writing partners). "Her Exorcism For Dummies" is about a slacker who pretends to be an exorcist, but then discovers he actually has "the gift" and has to undo the damage he unleashes on the world. No director is attached yet, but does Hoffs' husband, Austin Powers director Jay Roach, love her enough to get involved with this, ahem, sterling logline?"

Brian Wilson is to release an all new recording of the lost Beach Boys album "Smile". Van Dyke Parks (lyricist), who collaborated on the original "Smile" sessions in 1966 and 1967, listened together to the 37-year-old tapes in last november.
An all-new studio recording of "Smile" will be available by Nonesuch Records in The States on September 27. The CD will be produced by Brian Wilson and will feature the ten-member band that has supported him on tour over the past five years, and will also feature The Stockholm Strings and Horns.
The ex-Beach Boy is currently working on the new version of the record at the Sunset Sound studio in Los Angeles.
