The new 14 track Erasure album may contain a cover of the early Michael Jackson hit "Ben"." Andy and Vince also Recorded covers for the Jackson Five track "Dance and Shout" and "Dancing Machine". One of these tracks is also said to become a single with the other being a b-side. For every single released, a mini tribute EP to the original artists would be released as well.

and DJ Robbie Tronco w/Knobhead. A live video, and an acoustic-style remake of "Heaven's Gaze" round out the disc.

Bassist Zac Foley of alterno-dance-rock group EMF, died Thursday at age 31. He was visiting a friend in the Camden section of London when he collapsed, and police say that by the time they arrived he was already dead. Scotland Yard determined there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding Foley's death and are not treating it as a criminal matter, a department spokesperson said.
An inquest into Foley's death was opened Tuesday (January 8) on behalf of his family. The post-mortem examination was inconclusive, a coroner's spokesperson said. Toxicology tests were taken, but results are not expected back for about 12 weeks.
Foley was a founding member of EMF. The bandmembers - Foley, de Cloedt, vocalist James Atkin, guitarist IanDench and keyboardist Derry Brownson - met in Cinderford, England, and formed the group in October 1989. At the end of 1990, "Unbelievable" was climbing the U.K. charts. The Song went #1 in the US and the UK. 

Propaganda Is No More, Again
Official word has come down the wire that the recently reformed Propaganda has broken up again. Claudia Brucken has said "The reunion was worth a try but did not work out."

Jez Porat Reports: PS Boys, Sex Pistols, Gary Numan
Pet Shop Boy Chris Lowe said lately in an interview to the british NME that
 the modern pop scene is "careerist and meaningless." The main offenders are kiddy teen poppers Steps and Hear'Say. Pet Shop Boys have finished recording their ninth album for release in the new year. The 11-track album will be released in March and has been  preceeded by the release of a DVD of their 1999/2000 tour just two weeks ago.

Legendary Sigue Sigue Sputnik are back with a new CD, a few brief tour  dates and showcase festival gigs. On December 16th they released "Blak Elvis vs the Kings of Electronic Rock and Roll" with eight cover versions of classic Elvis Presley tracks in a sputnik style and a bonus 12" mix. - http://www.sputnikworld.com

The Sex Pistols may be reforming for the twenty-fifth anniversary of punk, and to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee. It was twenty-four years ago - the Queen's Silver Jubilee - that the band took a boat down the River Thames in London and played their legendary God  Save The Queen to celebrate. Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne in 1952; the date of the Golden Jubilee celebrations will be 3 June 2002. NME has been told, by a "close source", that the band are planning a tour around this date. The music paper reports that it is only frontman Johnny Rotten now called John Lydon - who is undecided. Sid Vicious' bass part will be taken by Glen Matlock - the band's original bassist - as it was in 1996 when the band last played live.

David Bowie blames Virgin/EMI for the fact he hasn't had a major hit since " - www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00001OH7Z/lexiconmagazin0e - Let's Dance" in 1983. [It couldn't be that most of the stuff he's done since the '80s has been crap, not that! -Editor]He is unhappy with the way his music was promoted so far and this is the main reason for starting his own record company called ISO. Bowie's first album on ISO will be released next year and will feature Tony Visconti, who produced and played on his albums "Young Americans", "Low" and "Heroes". And hey, did you know there is a CD of Labyrinth out now?
