Apple Music's next exclusive is a Clive Davis documentary
Apple Music's next documentary focuses on music industry legend Clive Davis. Last night at the annual Tribeca Film Festival, it was announced that Clive Davis: The Soundtrack of Our Lives would be exclusive to Apple's music-streaming service. That report comes via Deadline. While Davis' name might be unfamiliar, his influence has been felt throughout the music industry for some 50 years. Davis is responsible for signing Bruce Springsteen; Carlos Santana (above); Earth, Wind & Fire and Alicia Keys in addition to cofounding Sean "Puffy" Combs' Bad Boy Records among many, many other accomplishments. For more on his career, be sure to check out New York Times' recent interview with Davis.
Watch Kanye West and U2 play a surprise charity concert live on YouTube
World AIDS Day has already done a lot to both raise awareness of AIDS and fund research for a cure, but it's about to end with a bang. Bank of America and the (RED) charity are hosting a surprise concert at 7:30PM Eastern tonight in Times Square -- and they're streaming the whole thing live on YouTube. The gig will see most of U2 play alongside Bruce Springsteen and Chris Martin (Bono is recovering from an accident), with Kanye West and Carrie Underwood adding to the star power. It's short notice, we know, but it's definitely worth tuning in if you want to see some of the biggest names in music play for a good cause... and no, this won't show up in your iTunes library afterwards.
NBC may air Rockstar Curling -- but will it be in HD?
Top Gear not exactly down your alley? Fret not, as NBC has reportedly secured exclusive rights to launch ten episodes of "a proposed television show called Rockstar Curling." No need to wipe the dust off your specs -- the network actually is eying certain celebs (Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen were named in particular) in hopes of rounding one up to get involved -- possibly as a host -- in the show. Apparently, the winning contestant could eventually end up with a berth in the US championships, and perhaps a shot in the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. As riveting as the idea of curling in and of itself is, here's to hoping this surefire blockbuster eventually gets broadcast in high-def.[Image courtesy of tawayama]
