Doing way more than his fair part on a slow news day, coke-rap titan Young Jeezy has given a tremendous interview to Rolling Stone in which he very reasonably claims, "I'm a large fan of Michael Phelps! He's like the Young Jeezy of the swim world."

With influences ranging from Bootsy to Mancini to Moroder to Reich, Leclair's productions veer from ambitious observational techno to pop-oriented micro-house. For most of the tracks on 2002's My Way, his number 1 full-length album for Force Inc., Leclair employed a proficiency he referred to as "microsampling." Leclair would drop hours of each dawn recording substantial from AM/FM dials and a shortwave, and he would then habit those recordings as fresh fish for his productions, splice seconds into minute fragments (consisting of voices, song dynasty snips, acoustic guitar flicks, and all sorts of unidentifiable moments) and applying them to danceable, hook-heavy house tracks. The anticipation for the album was increased significantly by a special passing of the album's feature cut, "Deck the House," a dazzling crazy quilt of short-attention-span house dementia. Leclair has as well recorded as Anna Kaufen and Nekufa.

New Young Pony Club cover PJ Harvey at Isle of Wight

New Young Pony Club got the crowd at the Big Top stage dancing at the Isle Of Wight Festival earlier tonight (June 15) with a dazzling set which included a cover of PJ Harvey's 'Dress'.

Despite worrying about having to go on at the same time as The Police, who were on the main stage at the same time as the band, New Young Pony Club attracted a reasonable crowd.

"Us against one of the biggest bands in the history of the universe?" singer Tahita Bulmer had earlier considered, speaking to NME.COM. "Ah, we'll hold our own."

As well as their own songs 'Ice Cream', 'Tight Fit' and 'The Bomb', the band played glam-pop covers of the aforementioned 'Dress' and Squeeze's 'Take Me I'm Yours'.

Bulmer also told NME.COM that sessions for her band's forthcoming new album were going well, with songs sounding "heavy on white noise. A bit like My Bloody Valentine."

New Young Pony Club played:

'Get Lucky'
'Grey'
'Dress'
'Ice Cream'
'Tight Fit'
'Descend'
'Take Me I'm Yours'
'The Bomb'
'The Get Go'

Sienna Miller - Miller Hinted At Ifans Split Weeks Ago

British actress SIENNA MILLER hinted that a split between her and ex-fiance RHYS IFANS was possible - weeks before reports claimed they had separated.

The couple is alleged to have parted ways earlier this month (Jun08), with Miller reportedly dumping Notting Hill actor Ifans by phone.

But the Alfie star revealed she wasn't ready to settle down while recently promoting forthcoming film GI Joe.

In an interview with Britain's Telegraph Magazine, which was published on Sunday (08Jun08), Miller appears to cast doubt over the future of her relationship with Ifans.

She says, "When it comes to settling down, I chop and change.

"I really thought I was ready for it, and then I realised that I wanted to be selfish for a little bit longer. I'm full of curiosity. I know that as soon as I have a child it will probably be everything, and I don't want to regret not doing more.

"I'll always work, I hope, but I want to have the freedom to go to India tomorrow for three months, like Tarka (Cordell, her writer friend) did.

"The press will say, 'She doesn't love Rhys' and 'She's selfish!', but I'm 26 and I have time and when it's right it will happen."
