This week The Pink Logs took time out of their busy schedule to rock out with some LA's finest on the Hollywood walk of fame about the economy and their opinions on the 700 billion dollar bailout. Unfortunately, they didn't get a lot of positive feedback, but they did get a lot of requests for pizza and beer.

Lisa Miskovsky - Mirrors Edge (Teddybears Remix) (Universal)

Lisa Miskovsky started in the business as a singer/songwriter and had her first taste of success in 2000 when she wrote "Shape of My Heart" for the Backstreet Boys. That song broke the record for most weeks at No. 1 on the Canadian AC chart with a stay of 14 weeks and holds the record for most first-day spins on Top 40 radio. With a hit under her belt, Lisa released her debut album in 2001. The result was two Swedish Rock Bear awards for her debut single "Driving One of Your Cars" and album Lisa Miskovsky, one for Best Swedish Newcomer and one for Best Swedish Female Artist of the Year. In 2003, she released Fallingwater and saw it climb to No. 1 on the Swedish pop charts, eventually earning platinum status. Some of the tracks off Fallingwater were produced by Joakim Berg, who is best known for his songwriting with Kent. Lisa is back on the scene with her latest, "Mirrors Edge (Teddybears Remix)." This song is from the Mirror's Edge video game, created by EA games, which is scheduled to be released on November 11^th on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

New Zealand has had their share of success in the music world. They have birthed the careers of The Datsuns, Bic Runga, Neil Finn, the Strawpeople and now the trend will continue with Gin. Gin is a singer/songwriter born in Auckland who began writing songs at the tender age of 13. At age 16, she wrote the song "Hallelujah" about the pain of losing her father to cancer. With that song, she won the 2004 International Songwriting Competition over 11,000 other competitors from 77 countries and became the youngest and only unsigned Grand Prize winner in the history of the contest. Vocally, she is a bit of Macy Gray, a touch of Blondie and a hint of Edith Piaf, where musically she is between Feist and Fiona Apple. "My stories are simple because I want to reach people," Gin says. "But at the same time I like to bring mystery. Sometimes we all need to ask: How? Why?" Her first EP offering, Extended Play, was released by Island Records in Australia in August and immediately landed in New Zealand's Top 10. Extended Play is produced by Tony Buchen (Blue King Brown, Macromantics) and says "Gin presents her songs with a voice of contradiction." He explains "It is raspy yet delicate, forceful and fragile." Gin toured with Pete Murray in late summer and will be touring with John Mellencamp and Sheryl Crow in New Zealand this December.

EAGLES OF DEATH METAL SOAR TO THE TOP: SoCal desert rats Eagles of Death Metal leap 4-1 on the Mediaguide Alternative Specialty Song chart this week with "Wannabe in L.A.," the first effort from their forthcoming album Heart On (Rekords Rekords/Downtown, out October 28); in addition, the song picks up enough spins to ascend 9-3 on the Album end. EODM main man Jesse Hughes and company, this time supplemented by Queens of the Stone Age leader Josh Homme on drums, begin a tour to support the new album on October 30 in Seattle; for full dates and further info on all things EODM, surf over to www.myspace.com/eaglesofdeathmetal. Meanwhile, demonstrating the fickleness of the panel is The Streets, who plummet 1-15 on the Song side with "Everything is Borrowed," the title track of Mike Skinner's new album (679/Vice), which falls all the way out of the Top 20 after holding the top spot last week. Wha'happened, folks? Maintaining position in second place on the Song side is new James Bond theme "Another Way to Die," which occupies the runner-up spot for the second straight week; looks like the collaboration between Jack White and Alicia Keys is showing some staying power while also helping the full soundtrack, Music from the Motion Picture Quantum Solace (Third Man), to a Top 5 debut on the Album end at No.5. Top debut honors on the Song side this week go to London-based lounge/electronica maven The Real Tuesday Weld, who, name to the contrary, is actually helmed by Stephen Coates. The song "Last Words" bows at No.6 this week, helping full-length The London Book of the Dead (Six Degrees) to a No.16 showing on the Album end. The only other new song in the Top 10 this week is "G.L.O.W.," the self-released number from venerable Alt act Smashing Pumpkins, which just sneaks in at No.10.
