Muse win an Ivor Novello Award plus some news about their new album

Muse have won an Ivor Novello Award! The band were presented with the award for International Achievement at the ceremony in London on Thursday 19 May. The Ivors are a celebration and recognition of British music writing talent.
Other winners included Villagers, Plan B, Dizzee Rascal, Steve Winwood, Free founder Paul Rodgers and Stephen Sondheim. These covetable awards are judged by the song writing community.

Dude, Muse is winning lots of awards lately. Maybe they should do an European tour too. And visit the Netherlands, of course. I still have pictures hanging in my room from their last concert here, in the
Goffertpark, in June last year. Anyways, I wanted to share this with you.
I also found this on muselive.com, the official muse fansite.


Muse will return with a potentially "softer" album next year, the band have revealed.

Drummer Dominic Howard and bassist Chris Wolstenholme spoke about the plan to NME at this afternoon's (May 19) Ivor Novello Awards ceremony in London, where they won the International Achievement award.

After revealing that they were planning to put out the follow-up to 2009’s 'The Resistance' in 2012 Howard said that the album could mark a shift in style for the band. "Matt [Bellamy, frontman] showed me a few chords recently," he said. "Who knows, it might be softer rock, but then it's up to me and Chris to make it heavy again. A heavy rock lullaby! But I'm sure it will move forward in some way."

Wolstenholme explained that the band had been jamming on the road ahead of sessions later this year. He added: "We've got Reading Festival [plus the Leeds Festival, with them set to headline both] in August and maybe a few weeks off after that. So September, October time we’ll get into the studio and start writing and working on the songs."

Howard concluded: "It takes as long as it takes really, because you have to love it before you can just chuck it out there and into the real world. But definitely next year."

Muse have suggested that they will play their 2001 album 'Origin Of Symmetry' in full at the Reading And Leeds Festivals.



Yay I love 2012. A new Muse album, the world coming to an end... See you next time!

Have you notices the new blog counter, right under the poll? It counts how many people are visiting my blog at the same time. So if it's only you, you will see '1 online', but there can also be two or more people at the same time.
Very cool, indeed.

What? It's cool, right? And my very cool GIFs won't move, for some strange reason. So I was like 'Yeah, I can do a serious picture instead of a funny one.' And come on, their van is priceless.
