ELVIS MEETS JAMES BOND! Check out the official video above of
the new 'remixed' Suspicious Minds. Whoever did this is obviously a big fan of the James Bond
movies just like me! Every Bond movie opened with Maurice Binder's fantastic sequences of beautiful women silhouetted
against the title song - exactly how this Elvis video pans out. If I didn't know any better - I would have thought this was
the music video to a Bond movie title sequence. Note to the 007 producers and E.P.E enterprises- whenever 007
returns to the big screen - get an Elvis song for the title. -FALI.
ELVIS ALBUM 'VIVA ELVIS' OUT NOW -LET'S GET ELVIS TO NUMBER ONE!
The VIVA ELVIS album was released worldwide... and guess what - it's surprisingly great!
Let's get it to number one folks - go and buy it online, on iTunes and your local stores now!
I know each and every Elvis song intimately and really hate it when someone remixes a classic Elvis song
every once in awhile and makes it unlistenable. But I have to admit that the new album is really good!
Canadian circus group Cirque du Soleil unveiled its own tribute to the life and music of the King of Rock
and Roll with its new show "VIVA ELVIS" in Las Vegas (similar to the Beatles LOVE show they previously did!)
which has been making waves the world over.
VIVA ELVIS - the album, is out in stores across the world now - and features "reimagined"
versions of Presley’s hits inspired by the Cirque du Soleil show of the same name. Erich van Tourneau, the Musical Director
of the project, assembled the album using vocal samples of the singer taken from albums, films, interviews and gig recordings,
revamping classic Elvis songs while incorporating elements of modern rock, punk, urban and hip-hop music.Songs reworked on
the album include the hits Blue Suede Shoes, Heartbreak Hotel, Love Me Tender, King Creole, Burning Love, Suspicious Minds
and Can’t Help Falling in Love.
THE ULTIMATE ELVIS BOX SET EVER - THE COMPLETE ELVIS MASTERS!
Elvis fans, start scrimping and saving. RCA Records recently released The Complete Elvis Presley
Masters, a collection of everything The King put out on the label during his lifetime, and more. By the numbers, this
set is staggering. It features more than 35 hours of music on 30 CDs, a 240-page exclusive hardcover book and more than 800
tracks, including 103 rare recordings. Equally staggering numbers include the price (about Rs 40,000 or $800).
All recordings have been mastered from the original analog tapes. The accompanying book includes an annotated
discography, original album artwork, rare and famous photos, a full song index and an essay by my favourite Elvis Author and
Historian Peter Guralnick (who wrote the best Presley biographies ever - Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley
and Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley). THE COMPLETE ELVIS PRESLEY MASTERS is an indispensable
piece of music history and the one collection no true Elvis fan should be without. Check out the photos on the side!

The King's Long-Lost Smoothie Recipe!
In honor of the anniversary of the King’s death, Chuck Cotton from Tupelo, Mississippi, sent in his recipe
of a classic milkshake Elvis used to love. It's called “The Presley.” Check it out on Chuck's website
to make your own!
A good site to check out is the Elvis Lighted Candle Free Forum. Sue Adams and her
friends are currently working on this forum in relation to Elvis' love of gospel music, where they believe his true
heart and soul to be! It's similar to a spiritual online 'sanctuary' where people might like to just go and be, to rest and
know peace in amongst the general chaos of the world. http://www.elvislightedcandle.org/elc_forum.htm
