[INTERVIEW] Simple Plan

Il y a quelques jours, je rencontrais Pierre, David et Jeff de Simple Plan pour parler avec eux de leur très bon dernier album "Get Your Heart On !" paru lundi dernier en France (et le lendemain partout dans le monde).

Voici cette interview, à ré-écouter, commenter et partager :)

[CLIP] Inna - Club Rocker

Décidément, les calendriers radio VS clips sont curieux. Un peu à la façon de David Guetta qui devrait laisser à paraître sur VEVO le clip de Where Them Girls At demain, Inna révèle la vidéo du 1er extrait de son prochain album alors qu'elle vient d'en proposer un remix avec Flo-Rida + un 2ème single aux radios...

Dur de s'y retrouver, mais le clip de Club Rocker (1ère mouture, il y a fort à parier qu'une autre version avec Flo-Rida, au pire en incrustation, paraîtra dans les prochaines semaines) est sexy. L'univers visuel d'Inna est plus abouti, comme le laissaient entendre les différents teasers qu'elle a proposé sur son site internet et son twitter.

Inna veut vraisemblablement avec ce deuxième album passer la 2ème vitesse, alors même que le premier et ses 5 singles auront fait d'elle l'un des plus grands succès club et radio de 2010 en France et un peu partout en Europe.

Et il faut avouer que Club Rocker a bien besoin d'un bon clip. Attendu comme un événement, le titre n'a pas encore signé un bel airplay et a même subi un revers de polémique, ses producteurs étant accusés d'avoir pioché tous les sons le composant dans une banque de sons (jusque là classique), sans avoir procédé à de véritables retouches et arrangements : trop facile en somme.


Club Rocker, Acte II, à suivre.

China, Australia Cosy up on Sydney Harbour


The budding ‘love-affair’ between Australia and China took to the waters of Sydney Harbour this week, as tourism authorities from the two countries met on Sydney Showboat for the 2011 China Tourism Night.

The event, organised by the China National Tourism Administration (CNTA) and attended by some 300 industry representatives, was a reflection of the close ties the countries have forged in recent years, with Australia now the 2nd largest source market of long-haul visitors to China, and China the largest source of visitors into Australia.

Following on from the inaugural China – Australia Tourism Summit held a fortnight ago in Cairns, the event underlined the commitment the two nations have in continuing their close bilateral tourism ties.

“China and Australia are inextricably linked through our strong economic ties,” tourism projects manager for the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism Grant Keys said.

After welcoming guests in fluent Mandarin, Mr Keys went on to praise the remarkable diversity of a country he had spent four years in.

Preceding the major prize draws, which included generous flight and accommodation packages to China, were brief presentations by Beijing and Hainan tourism, as well as performances by a traditional Chinese musical ensemble.
Expect this affair to last.

Ash Costing Tourism $10m a Day: Industry


The volcanic ash cloud over the eastern parts of Australia is costing the tourism sector more than $10 million a day, an industry group says.

Tourism and Transport Forum chief executive John Lee said the return of the ash cloud was causing havoc across the country, after the major airlines suspended services in and out of the key hubs of Sydney and Melbourne.

"Our estimate for the wider tourism industry along the east coast and bottom part of Australia, the daily impact will be over $10 million," Mr Lee said on Tuesday.

He said tourism operators and those working in the aviation industry would be most affected.

"This has been a very, very tough year for the tourism industry," Mr Lee said.

"This is nearly the straw that will break the camel's back for this industry."

Mr Lee said service cancellations would not only affect domestic markets but also major international markets in China, the USA and the UK.

"For the wider tourism industry, we understand (there will be) over $10 million in costs for losses each day this continues," he told reporters at Sydney Airport.

"These costs will increase."

A Qantas spokeswoman said earlier on Tuesday the delays were "serious" but the airline did not yet have a figure on costs.

Virgin Australia, Qantas, Jetstar and Tiger all cancelled flights around Australia on Tuesday and some international services due to the risks posed by the ash cloud.

The airlines have also warned more flights will be cancelled on Wednesday, particularly at the Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra ports.

The ash cloud from Chile's Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano caused six days of disruptions last week as the plume made its way over Australian and New Zealand airspace.
