The Whole Delivery's long overdo first "music thread" of 2009, the always real perspective on exposing the BS of the music industry, as well as providing you with wonderful sentiments from the music news given to you.

Despite every rumors indicating that Jennifer Hudson was going to sing at President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration, the opposite is the actual truth. She won't be singing there instead.

TWD sends its condolences for the death of Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton .

The Listen
Interscope Records maybe happy to see Eminem and 50 Cent have new songs, but in today's "The Listen", they aren't much to gloat about at all. Dre comes a little okay in Em's "Crack A Bottle", but both songs are respectively lower versions of their more acclaimed hits. "I Ge It In" wants to be "In Da Club", and "Crack A Battle", for him having a long layoff, just doesn't stick out for a single.

It won't be the best music you'll hear(and you may, as I did, find it difficult to understand the words of the songs). But this heartfelt rap song from the daughter of the slain Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto about her mother still hits the soul for sure.

Tough news for Talib Kweli

Warner Music Group has given up its exclusive distribution rights to Talib Kweli's Blacksmith Music Label, Billboard.com reports.

HAHAHA, the St.Lunatics still exist:

Meanwhile, Nelly and the St. Lunatics will headline a Jan. 30 Coors Light party at Orlando's Hard Rock Cafe. The venue will be replete with "snow machines, base camp, tents, bivouacs, mountain climbers and blasts of frosty, flavored oxygen" to simulate a Rocky Mountains motif.

Also hilarious is Lance Bass being hopeful for a N'Sync reunion:

"You never know what the other guys are going to be able to do or what they're thinking, but I hope in the next few years we would definitely be able to do another tour and another album."

Bass says he considers 'N Sync's separation, which started in 2002, "definitely a ... very long hiatus," and the length of the break has surprised most of the group members. "We didn't know where our different careers would take us, and we especially didn't know that Justin Timberlake's career was gonna take off like that. There's no way we'd ever stand in his way. We talk all the time and are always involved in each others careers."

Yes, like Timberlake would give all the work he did to distant himself from the group's teeny bopper ways to just, you know, do a New Kids On The Block like that? Get the you know what out of here with that malarkey.
